We had a double baptism!!!!! Sister ดวงกมล (duangamon) and Brother จา้ (Jaa) entered the waters of baptism yesterday and I am so grateful I got to help them along on their journey towards the celestial kingdom!!!!
We just had a miracle week this week! 2 of our investigators that we found when I moved to this area 2 weeks ago entered the waters of baptism yesterday! Brother Jaa is this cute awkward and suuuuuuuuuuuuper shy 17 year old, but he was just so prepared. and the amazing thing about him was that after he was baptized, he changed!!! He bore a beautiful testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, and seriously, it was the first time any of us had heard him talk so much! He seriously became a completely different person!! It's amazing how the gospel of Jesus Christ and the healing power of the Atonement really can change people :) He's a stellar guy and I'm way happy and grateful I was here to help him find the true gospel!
And Sister Duangamon was a referral from a long-time member actually. They've been friends for the past year, and she had taught Sister Duangamon everything! So when she met with us, it was really like she was teaching us :) It was incredible. She was beaming sooo soo brightly when she came out of the water, and her testimony was just as touching. She explained how she knew that the Gospel of Jesus Christ had to be RESTORED in its fullness and that no other church has what we have. So for her, the decision was easy!
It was literally a miracle Sunday! Cuz not only did me and Sister Brown see baptisms, but so did some of the elders in our district as well! We had actually set a goal as a district to see church attendance pass 100 this transfer (cuz we're usually at around 70 or 80), and yesterday we saw 103 in attendance!!!!! 25 of them were investigators that we had found too :) Prayer and faith seriously work!!!!! We had the faith that we could accomplish it, and we accomplished our goal in less than 2 weeks!!!!!!
Yup, it was a pretty spectacular Sunday here in Bangkhae! yay for District baptisms!!!
The longer I've been here, the more and more I am amazed at the hand of God in our lives here as missionaries. As long as we are willing to be obedient and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, Heavenly Father will guide us in all things. We just need to have the faith and we need to truly call upon God to help us cuz we cannot do His work by ourselves!
I love you guys!!!!!
