June 15, 2015- 4 Baptisms in Newport Beach and 1 Coming Up in Norfolk
Hey
family and friends!!!! This week has been a great week!!
On Monday night
we had a Noche de Hogar (Family Home Evening) with our branch.
We
had a couple of lessons with Lani this week.
She told us that Satan has been trying really hard to stop her from
getting baptized. She said that things are getting really rough. She has been a little creeped out because a
few times there have been spirits that have appeared to her during the night. She
was sleeping and she woke up to use the bathroom when she saw a shape of
something next to her dresser. She knew
it wasn't any of her kids because she could hear them snoring in the other room. When she came back she closed the door
and checked around and there wasn't anything there, so she laid down and closed
her eyes. When she opened her eyes again she saw a shape without any
features or anything that was standing next to her bedside. She said she tried to scream but she was
completely frozen with fear for a couple of minutes. Then, she saw the shape walk away and
disappear and then she wasn't frozen anymore. She told us that Satan can
throw anything in her path because she is going to go through with her baptism-
no matter what! She got her baptismal interview on Saturday and she passed, so
she is going to be baptized this Saturday!! And she is super excited!
On Friday, we
had zone conference where both of the zones in Virginia Beach met together. It
was a really good conference where we talked more about the new 7 minute teaching
method.
We
got a chance to go to Newport News for a baptism! Ramon, Belkis, Madeline, and
Dyana, four members of a family that I taught when I was there, got baptized
on Saturday! It was awesome to be there for the event and it was fun to
see everybody in the branch.
We
are getting transfer calls this Saturday. I'm hoping that I get to stay
here in Norfolk for one more transfer because I love this area. However, I've been here for 6 months now- so I
guess we'll see.
Hope
everyone has a great week!
