Hermana Kirsten Anderson: A Baptism

So I just found out that one of my investigators from my first area, Moroleon, was baptized this last week. His name´s Victor and we found him and his family while walking in the street. It amazes me that more than a year later, and I´m still seeing unexpected fruits from my short time there. That´s something that I always think about as we go out everyday. We never know the impact that we are really going to have on the lives of these people. From something small like helping someone carry grocery bags in the street, to sharing the message of the Restauration with someone for the first time, we´re planting seeds wherever we go. Our Heavenly Father knows the entire plan, the time and place for every detail and every person, and we´re just here to help Him carry out His work and His glory.

For example, when we went to teach the Mena-Reyes family this week, their daughter was there visiting. As we began to introduce ourselves, she told us that years earlier she had listed to the Elders and had even gone to church. Her parents had previously told us their concern that their daughter would be upset with their decision to listen to us, but it was a great surprise to all of us to see that they were united in their interest and desire to learn more. They even came to church together on Sunday. And Ruben that will be getting baptized this week, has been listening to the missionaries for more than 2 years! But it´s finally his time and I don´t think I´ve ever seen anyone so excited for their baptism. My companion and I are busy with wedding and baptism plans for this week! But it should be super fun.

Well, all is well here in Morelia. I´m loving it more than ever and we´re just trying to give it our all these last few months that we have left. I know this is the work of the Lord. I see His hand in these little miracles everyday.

La iglesia es verdadera,

les amo,
