May 15th - She prayed for a sign

Congrats to nana and alton for their success in life. It's good to hear that God has blessed them tremendously. And also papa. It's also good to hear about all the singing going on. It's too bad I can't sing like my companion and my relatives :(

Anyways this past week was the baptism of our investigator who will make an excellent member in this church and in this gospel. My companion and I feel she'll be a pioneer for her future family and her parents and siblings. She shared a cool experience at her baptism in her testimony. She said that after the first lesson she prayed and asked God for a sign. She asked for rain as her sign that she would be forgiven of her sins and also if on May 14 (our scheduled baptismal date for her) it rained, she would know that this is the direction for her. She later explained that it rained that day we taught her. But not only then, also on the morning of her baptism! It rained early Saturday morning till around 11 and her baptism at 2 pm was clear. It has definitely been a blessing to be teaching her and her mom. She'll make a great missionary one year from now. God definitely answers prayers. I remember Saturday night we prayed to have at least one of other investigators to come to church. The person we were praying for didn't show up so we were pretty down. But then 30 minutes later during the meeting she shows up with her baby! We were definitely surprised but learned that God will help his children act in faith and attend church. 

We are still excited because this week we'll be having one more baptism for this transfer. Another woman that will be great example and member in the church. We're gonna increase our teaching pool this week. That has been one of our weaknesses. We've set a goal in faith to get 20 new investigators this week. 

Keep on doing what you're doing fam and know that I love and miss you. I can't believe that I'm actually down to counting on one hand haha. Don't worry Im not trunky. 

Love,
