This scripture sums up the whole week!
20: Therefore, in the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is manifest. 21: And without the ordinances thereof, and the authority of the priesthood, the power of godliness is not manifest unto men in the flesh.
We have taught Merissa and her family just about every day this last week. And president was back on the island so he asked if he could come teaching with us, to see her. The lesson Friday night was so powerful. We bore solemn testimony of the restoration and the eternal nature of the family.
I felt prompted to share D&C 84:20 and then gave Merissa a promise. I promised her that if she would come to a baptism that was at the church on Saturday, she would feel the spirit and get her quote on quote answer. It was a leap of faith to say that but the scriptures are the word of God. And that in the ordinances of the priesthood the power of God is there! She came to the baptism with all the kids. And man was the spirit so strong it had me in tears during the baptism. After the baptism we went to Merissa's house and asked her how she felt...
She said she got her answer and that she is going to be baptized!! what a blessing.
We asked her to pray about the day so she will get back to us on that but how grateful I am for God. And how he answers prayers, and how he loves his children.
This week was awesome as well because we had the guadeloupe elders fly in for trade-offs that was fun. And we have been prepping for transfers.
Loving life and this mission.
love yall
