Week of Miracles, Missionary Style

Let me tell you, the Lord has a way of working that makes my head spin. Don't ask me what I did or how it happened, it just did. Right now, Elder Clerveau and I have 19 people on date for baptism for the month of February, 16 of them are Nepali. The 16 Nepalis are made up of former investigators, and new referrals from this week. We would get a call, "Hey, this family wants to be baptized", or "We've wanted to get baptized for awhile, but were scared. We are now ready to be baptized." Literally. There was no convincing any of them, we didn't say anything that sparked something inside of any of them, we didn't prepare mind blowing lessons. All I can think of is that we are being obedient, and trying hard to be effective missionaries, and the Lord is trusting us to not screw things up for these 19 people. Whew, I have been spirit bombed too many times this week. My faith has increased tremendously, I was lacking in it and wasn't sure what to do with the Nepali people. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and I will never again doubt. Obedience to God's commandments is huge. Just do things the Lords way, and everything will work out. My testimony of that is secure.

 

I would tell you more about our week, but...what's the point? Everything pales in comparison to this wonderful news. 19 of Heavenly Father's children have chosen baptism, outstanding. I'm going to do my best to make sure all these people go through with their decision and make it to the waters of baptism. I need to keep this going, I refuse to baptize all these people and then go cold for 3 or 4 weeks with no one else. Nope, not doing it. I now know the Lord has prepared people everywhere, and if I do things right, the prepared souls will always be there.

 

The church is true, no other church in the world is so bold in their claim of that as we are. This is the Lord's kingdom on the earth, and it will never be stopped nor destroyed. The stone cut without hands continues to roll on, and everyone in the world will know it, especially the Nepali people!!! Elder Warczak will make sure of that!

 

Much love everybody,

 

Elder Scotty
