I'm in the Woodlands! I drove up here with another hermana to meet my new companion. It was nearing lunchtime so I asked her if she wanted to get subway or something. "We should do it another day because we were invited to a banquet." What is this place?! Everything is so fancy here... I love it here though and this area has so much potential.
M got baptized on Saturday and I was able to go back for it. :) I have learned from her that the gospel really does change lives. She is so different compared to the first day I met her. After she was baptized, she expressed to me how clean and happy she felt and how grateful she was that we always stuck by her side. She was glowing. love that woman.
We've struggled this week with helping our investigators to progress toward baptism. At the beginning of the week they wouldn't even answer the phone, but now both of them are coming to all the activities and church and have a lot of friends in the ward. Everything changed when we started praying specifically to meet our goals. Cool, right? The Lord is good.
This makes me feel weird to say but I'm so happy. I don't think I've ever felt this much happiness in my life. I've finally put things in the Lord's hands and I am willing to serve and follow Him forever.
Alma 29:10 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent,
and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy;
then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he
hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which
he extended towards me.
