What a great week we had! Haha I am so amazed by the power of fasting. Well as you know, Carlos was baptized on September 6th of 2014. We are so proud of him. First we weren't sure if it would be possible to have be baptized. He's 13 and his parents aren't members, so we had to make sure he had good friends in the church. Also he had to come to church by himself, we couldn't go get him. But he came every sunday! He told us his story that one time some elders came by 3 months ago and he was waiting for them, but they never came back. Eventually we came by! What a blessing. He had been waiting to hear more and receive this gospel. He is one the best young men I've ever met. He's been reading the BoM and he can tell us every story. It's crazy! He understands everything, and he never has questions. Anyway, his parents have opening up to us more. We had the chance to have a family home evening with them after the baptism. It was so great, or maybe I'm just so happy.
I've been seeing so many miracles in such a little amount of time. I've never had the opportunity to be in a sector with the same comp and have more than one baptism. Not that matters personally, but it seems pretty special to me. Carlos shared his testimony after his baptism, he's such an example for his familly. His mom is not married, but they have plans to do so. She was so proud of her son, she was crying and hugging him. I'm grateful I could be a part of that. Also yesterday during fast sunday, I bore my testimony. I think that was my first time ever in my mission, but it felt great. I always bear my testimony with others, but I felt I had to share with the members.
Thanks for all that you guys do for me. I love you all. I can feel your love and appreciation. Thank you so much.
Love,
Hermana Melody Anderson
P.S. Yes, we like lemon pie here. Hahahaha...
