Hello Everyone!
Both of our investigators were baptized on Sunday! It was a
beautiful service filled with the Spirit. The mom of one of them bore her
testimony and said that each prayer that she said morning and night for years
had been answered when her son got baptized. I will never forget that
testimony. When he came out of the waters of baptism, he explained that he
literally felt a weight lifted off of his shoulders. I know this work is true.
Right now we are sacrificing and sanctifying ourselves to find
our elect family that we will baptize. We know they are out there, and I love
being unified with my companion on our focus and desire to find them. Makes the
work far more enjoyable and gives me more confidence that the Lord will lead
them to us.
Sister Edwards is still killing it. This week, I was impressed
as I realized that she never complains or has anything negative to say. That
makes this work far easier so I am working on becoming more like her. It was an
incredible blessing to have found both of our investigators together, and to
have been able to see both of them enter into the waters of baptism.
12 week is going well. We study and role play together and we
learn together... I really truly do not feel like I am training her. She is
exactly obedient...always. It is the best! She and I are completely unified in
enjoying each hour of the day and keeping our minds and conversations focused
on our Savior and our missions. She is the best companion to finish my mission
with. I love her with my whole heart!
Alma 26 is officially my favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon.
It puts my thoughts regarding my mission into words:
16 Therefore, let us
glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is
full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in
the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and
of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I
cannot say the smallest part which I feel.
This verse may be my favorite in all of the Book of Mormon. I
truly cannot glory too much in God for giving me this precious mission
experience. Words will never do it justice.
I feel like I am starting to finally understand missionary work.
The baptism was celestial. Just the opportunity to see two very dear friends be
baptized was beyond description, thanks to the Lord.
I love this work! I love my Savior! And I love these 5 weeks
that I have to represent the Lord Jesus Christ and bring others into the waters
of baptism.
Con amor,
Hermana McCormick
