hey everyone!
well this last week has definately been one of the greatest weeks of my life! we have been blessed so much and had the opportunity to see many miracles. we have seen the lords hand in all things this week.
well i think my letter last week was about how brittnay was supposed to get baptized this last weekend but she fell off date, but me and elder bonnett still prayed for a way that we could keep president larkins promise of baptising at least one person in march and the lord provided a way! he might have had to fly someone up from califonia but we still provoded us a way to baptise some one in the month of march. this last saturday we were able to baptise melissa, it was such a cool experience especially since it was a miracle baptism and i was the one that was able to baptise her!
it all started a few weeks ago when a lady in our ward came up to us on a sunday and told us her sister was coming in town for 2 weeks on vacation, so we had 2 weeks to convince her to get baptised, but a week was all it took! we met with melissa last saturday for the first time and tought her the first lesson, then monday night we invited her to be baptised and we werent really sure about if she wanted to or not. then on wednesday during our district meeting that we had we got a text from her sister alma that said " its a great day elders! my sister wants to get baptised and she wants it done before april." when we saw this me and e bonnett flipped so we texted back and put her ondate over a text! we set up her baptism for the coming satuday the 26th. so we had like 3 days to teach her everything! it was a crazy process but we got it all done. so we held her baptisimal service this last saturday, exactly one week from when we first met her!
president larkin promised all the missionaries that the lord would put someone in their path to baptise in the month of march and after brittnay fell of date we kept praying and knew the lord would provide a way. he waited till the last week of the month but he still provided a way to baptise someone this month! her baptism was amazing though we had a lot of the ward show up, which was great becaue it was such short notice and no one knew her but it was a great service.
i had the privelige to baptise her! it ws one of the greatest things i have done in my life! i loved seeing the pure joy that the gospel brought into her life. i will never forget how happy she looked after she was baptised, it was really a blessing to be able to take part in such an experience and have the lord bless us with such a great miracle.
last night me and e bonnett got a call from president larkin. he congratulated us on our baptism and then he talked to us for a bit and at the end of our conversation he promissed us 3 batisms in april! so we have alot of work to do but i know that we will be able to acomplish this promise. then this morning on my email i also got a letter from pres larking it has been such a great week. and this was hardly a part of what has happened this week! i wish i could tell you more but i could go on for along time, its been great and the lord has truely been blessing us with miracles and i love beig part of them!
i hope everything is going good ther and i hope everyone gets better soon. im sad my puppy is finally growing up. well have a great week
love you
elder berry
