I want to share an
awesome experience that we had this week! There is a family that got
baptised like 5 months ago, everyone except for the dad! Every
missionary has been working with them trying to help the dad
get baptised, and he just always said that he needed more time to go to
church and lots of other things! All of my companions and I have worked
with him, and we just could not help him. He understood everything
perfectly, just didn’t want to do it. This last
Saturday the family were going to invite us to eat dinner because the
husband had been thinking a lot, and he had decided that he wanted to
get baptised. At the beginning of the week we had lost our phone and
the family didn’t know how they were going to
invite us to come and eat and to tell us the good news! Then the
husband just told his wife, “Don’t worry the Elders will be getting here
soon, I just feel it!” His wife thought he was crazy because he just
said that he was sure of it! My companion and I were
walking home and we just had the feeling to go to their house and ask
for a ride home because it was getting dark and they lived close! We got
to their house like 5 minutes after the husband had said that we were
going to come. They invited us to eat dinner
with them. Then the husband told us that he was ready to get baptised,
and he wanted to do it the next day because he didn’t want to wait any
longer. He just had realized that he was missing something in his life.
Then he realized that he needed to be closer
to God and that’s when he realized that getting baptised was the thing
he needed to do! It was such a miracle. I was so happy. We were running
around like crazy the next day to get it all organized and the baptismal
font was broken, so we had to go to another
church. It all worked out so perfectly and was such an amazing
experience. I know the Lord has his timing for everything. We just need
to have faith in him and his timing and everything will work out great!
Also we had a little
party because I have ONE year now in the mission. Time is flying and we
are loving the experience! Great week to everyone! I love you guys a
ton!
Love,
Elder Hawley
