It Was So Amazing To Be Part of This.....

hey momma bear!

The study time that we get is really awesome, and it something that i really dont want to lose when i get home, just the personal time i get every morning with me and my heavenly father is worth more to me than almost anything. it seems the house is testing you two pretty hard, and it could even be something you could use as an example in your teaching, that is one thing you could say about Christ, he was incredible at making examples of things, and making and using parables, it is something that i have been trying to do lately, and it is pretty tough, so i am glad that i have a great example like christ to follow behind.

So this past week, our investigator got to enter the waters of baptism, and my companion got to perform the ordinance, and it was quite a long day to get him baptised. The day started off with our usual studies, and then after our Personal Study my companion texted him about the baptism, and he said to cancel it because he wouldn't be able to make it through the snow on his wheelchair. Immediately we got ready and left to catch a bus or a train or something to get to his house in Skarżysko, a little town about 40 minutes outside of Kielce. So we get to his town, and we start walking towards his house, not knowing where to go exactly, only walking in the direction we knew it was. We got to a crossroads and turned and kept walking, but we felt a little weird about it, so in our minds as we were walking we said a prayer to Heavenly Father, pleading for help. And literally seconds after we finished our prayers, a man came up and was nice enough to direct us exactly where we had to go. So we arrived at his house and got him to the train station, we had missed a train and had to wait for a while, but eventually we got on the train heading to Kielce. And when we arrived, his baptism was set and performed. We were both in the water in order to help him in and out of the water, and after the baptism was completed we got to hear him share his testimony with us. It was so simple and so sweet, and after this we sent him on a train back home to Skarżysko, we were going to go with him to help him out, but there wouldn't be a returning train that day, so we had to let him go by himself unfortunately. And the next day, he got to receive his baptism of fire by the means of the Holy Ghost, now another one of God's children can and will enjoy the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead for the rest of his life. It was so amazing to be a part of his experience.
