Dear Family
So yesterday Henry and Stephens
were confirmed members of the Church and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost!
It was wonderful!
Also, I need to tell you of the miracle we
experienced this week. So, on Wednesday we met with C before institute and
invited him to be baptized on the 1st of September instead of the 15th. He agreed and said that
he was ready! He said that his friends and parents have noticed a big positive
change in him. He asked us if we see that too, and how we would describe it.
He's so awesome. He's come a long way and has made a lot of changes to be able
to be baptized. The next day he told us that his mom would like to come to the
baptism, and because she's going on vacation, he would need to postpone it until
the 23rd. We asked him how he felt about it and he said he wasn't sure. Both
dates looked good to him. We asked him to pray and read in the scriptures and
tell us when his mind was made up. On Friday he called us and said 23rd is the
day for his baptism. We said, “Are you sure?”, and he hesitated and then said yes. Elder M
and I were a bit disappointed but thought it might be a good anyways. We still
had a feeling that he might change his mind again and were praying for him to
be able to follow the spirit. On Sunday we met him at 8:00 AM, right before
church, and he said that he has the feeling that next week is actually when he
should get baptized, and that his mother wanting him to post pone it was a test
from the other side. But he was still unsure. So we read 2 Ne. 31 with him and
asked him what he thinks he should do. He said, “I need to get baptized next
week! I will get baptized on the 1st instead!” It is so amazing to see how our investigators
are being converted into the gospel of Jesus Christ! This good news to all the earth: that Christ
has made it possible for us to come in by the way, and taste of and dwell in
His and the Fathers love for eternities. It is touching to see their faith and
commitment.
The time is going fast, but I'm keeping daily logs in my journal
because I don't ever want to forget it. Thanks for all the support from all of
you and I hope you have a blessed week!
Love you,
Elder Lüning
