Week #42- she gave an amazing testimony!

This week was good. We had a baptism that was really long waited. She has been investigating the church for almost a year now.   She gave us a scare when she called us after we had just sung at the relief society thing and she told us that she didn’t want to be baptized anymore because her family was against it and she has had a ton of problems lately. We went right to her house to talk to her and we calmed her down a bit but she still said no, so we invited her to pray and come to church with us the next day to see how she felt. After all of the meetings she told us that she wanted to be baptized. We were really excited and happy for her but it got even harder the church we were going to baptize her didn’t have any water and the missionaries in that area told us this about an hour before the baptism was supposed to start. So we had to call everyone and tell them that we were going to do it in another church. We were extremely lucky when we got to the church and all the doors that we needed were open, even though nobody was in the church. We were able to have the baptism and she gave an amazing testimony after that as soon as she was in the water she just felt a happiness in her heart. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of her baptism and I will always remember it.
That's all for this week, Elder Monson
