We had such an amazing miracle! i am not sure if you all
remember but every monday we have been teaching the Delgado Family.
Susie the Mom is a less active member since 17 years old and the
daughters Michelle and Natalie are 13 and 15 years old and they are not
members. When sister fletcher and i found out that we were going to be
together for at least one more transfer together, we wanted to make a
goal of what we wanted to accomplish in these next six weeks together.
we both agreed that our goal and focus for this transfer were to help
Michelle and Natalie make it to the waters of baptism. to accomplish
this we decided that every single prayer we were going to say, we were
going to pray for them. we did this two weeks straight and oh boy did it
work!!! last week on monday we had this amazing lesson with them. we
talked about how life is a like a hike and we gave them things that they
needed in this hike to help them, like a compass representing the holy
ghost and a band aid representing Christ and how he is always going to
be there when you fall and pick you back up and heal you. we also said
that the first step you take before you go on this hike is baptism and
it's just the first thing you do before you is go one this big hike. the
hike represents the journey of life. i am not sure if this makes sense
on how it is sounding but i wish you all were there. it was so cool and
the spirit was so strong and so we decided to ask them if the wanted to
Follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized? Before we could
finish the whole question they both said YES!!! They are both getting
baptized this Saturday! what is so cool about this too is that many
missionaries have tried to get in with the Delgados to try and teach
them but Susie has never let them in and has never even let her visiting
teachers come and teach her or even talk to her! the whole ward is
stunned that we have been able to get in. we thought this was pretty
exciting! we are so excited for this Saturday, these two girls are so
amazing and we love them so much and i am so grateful that i got to be
part of bringing them closer to Christ.
i also learned a valuable lesson from this. if you ask God
and do your part, in working hard, following the spirit, being obedient,
and praying with you whole heart in faith. he will bring about
miracles!
