Week 43- Surprise baptism????

Wow! My week overflowed with miracles!!! SHOCKER. Why is God so good???? I am astonished by him. 

This week we went to the temple for baptisms with Charley and Joseph. What a special special day. They were filled with light! It was so special to witness them baptize each other. Charley said it felt like he was home when he walked in the doors. The biggest miracle of all was their Father, Arthur. This was his first time back to the temple after flippin 20 years. How special is that?! I have a FIRM firm testimony of member referrals. Because of Arthur, these boys, and Maggie, they have brought so many to church and so many BACK to church. The boy's friend Matt started coming to church and we are teaching him and guess what?? He brought HIS friend to church on Sunday and now HE is being taught. 8 people are getting baptized from Arthur's family. How blessed am I to be witnessing it. 

Another HUGE miracle was on Saturday. When I served in Crewe a while ago and finished training with Sister Nielson, there was a significant day I remember so clearly where we were just filled with joy and talking to EVERYONE. We were about to walk into a cafe but I saw someone and said we NEED to run after him. So we sprinted and met Duol! We started teaching Duol and he is very special. There was something different about him. There was a lesson I had with him that still sticks with me in my mind today. It was the first time I felt like I shared a powerful testimony. It confirmed to me Joseph Smith was a true prophet. I could see the feeling Duol had in his eyes. I think about that moment often. Sadly a few months later I saw that he was dropped. But as I was walking in the street the other day I looked down and received a text from a group chat called, "Duol's baptism" my heart BLEW UP with excitement. I was able to watch his baptism on Saturday. I am so beyond grateful I decided to run after Duol that one random morning in small Crewe. Miracle after miracle. What a blessed week! 

Cheeeeers
