Week 24: The longest week...and the best week!!

So, this week was CUH-RAZY!! We went to the temple with Sarah, taught her all of the remaining lesson, planned for her wedding, planned for her baptism, had a sweet experience with her and prayer (oh man the power of prayer is SO real) and so on...holy cow it was a long tiring week but it was so incredible.

So Sarah's baptism!! It happened!! Haha, she had a few struggles the week preceding (not unusual) but we powered through them with prayer and trust in the Lord. Her baptism strengthened my testimony of the power of the promises we make with God in this life. This weekend, Sarah promised to always remember her Savior Jesus Christ, to follow Him, to serve others, and to keep the commandments. Heavenly Father was so proud of her and happy with her choice. This was manifest through the powerful presence of the Spirit. You just couldn't miss it, the Spirit was so thick in that room. Both of the speakers at her baptism cried along with several members of her family. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to meet her and watch her grow by strengthening her relationship with the Savior. I know He lives and I know He loves us. Please continue to pray for Sarah as her journey has just begun!

This week we also started handing out pass-along cards with the new video that is coming out on the 28th. It is called "Because He Lives" and the website is helives.mormon.org. The video will be about the Savior and His Atonement. I know the Atonement is real and it changes lives. My life and my heart have been changed by the sacred and holy Atonement of our Savior.

We also taught Mareina this week about the Plan of Salvation! She is working through some of the principles but has a strong testimony of the foundation of the Plan- the Atonement! I have great faith that this will help her to gain a testimony of the whole thing! Heavenly Father is blessing her with great light, knowledge, and truth! Please continue to pray for her!

I love you all so much! I know that Heavenly Father loves each of us and desires great blessings and happiness for us. Thank you for your faith, your prayers, your love, and you support! I pray for each of you!

Please keep my downstairs neighbor Shari in your prayers. He husband passed away over the weekend.
