Hey Fam!
We
had an amazing day today! We got to go to the Salt Lake City temple!
It was so great! I loved being there and seeing all of my old
companions! Best thing ever! And we had a really great week! We
visited and taught so many less actives! It was awesome! I love
visiting less actives! We did have a really cool experience with Wayne.
We were teaching him and he told us that he didn't want to get
baptized until he read the whole Book of Mormon. We told him that he
doesn't have to read the whole book to know that it is true. We asked
him if he believed in God, and believed that God knows everything, that
the Lord will tell him the Book of Mormon is true. He then prayed right
there and asked. The Spirit was so strong. After the prayer we asked
him how he felt. He said that he felt exhilarted! And for an 80 year
old man, only the Spirit can make you feel that way! And then we
invited him to be baptized. He said yes to March 8th. We were so
excited and so happy that he would agree to make that promise with the
Lord and be baptized! This was truly a miracle. But on Friday the
district leader went to do his baptismal interview and Wayne said he
didn't want to be baptized. We went to talk to him and he again said
that he didn't want to be baptized. And he didn't want to meet with us
anymore. He was saying that his health couldn't do it. But we
reassured him that he could. He still said no. It was really sad and
depressing. But he makes his own choices. We can't make him be
baptized. We can only invite. In the Lord's time, he'll get baptized.
We also gave talks yesterday. It was good.
Watch
this Mormon message about things that matter most! It's awesome. I
was thinking about how life can be so full of just stuff. And we look
past the things that are awesome and we don't enjoy what's in front of
us. We have to find joy in our journey. And know that Heavenly Father
and Jesus Christ are always there to help us up in our journey. We must
just look to them for help instead of carrying it all ourselves. Love
you lots! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Marlow
