Hello! Hello!
Our friend Hannah got baptized on Saturday and received the gift of the Holy Ghost on Sunday! What a happy 2 days! Saturday was so smooth! Everyone (including Hannah and everyone on the program) was late... but other than that it was so smooth! Members helped with everything, not a single missionary was on the program! One of our recent converts, Andreea, gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and it was the best talk I have EVER heard EVER in my life about the Holy Ghost. It was so special and exactly the perfect thing.
I cannot believe how prepared Hannah is for the gospel. She would do some googling on the internet and come across anti or read something crazy about church history and then tell us that she just knew it wasn't right because it was full of contention and feelings like that aren't from God. She is so in tune with the spirit it is mesmerizing. Hannah just gets all of it, because she knows when she hears truth.
Hannah's boyfriend, Lee, who is a member and introduced Hannah to the church but was pretty much inactive before he met Hannah (nothing like flirt to convert... to reactivate someone haha), baptized her. Lee's family goes to the family ward so I got to know them well when I served here a year ago. Lee's mom, sister Nakale, made lunch for everyone that came. We put up four tables all squished together and we all sat around them like a big happy family. It was just the sweetest thing to have everyone from so many different background s and stages if life sit around a table together to laugh and eat really good food. I love God's Children.
We had a lesson with Hannah just yesterday at a little Cafe that none of us had ever been to before. It had been a rough day for her with things happening with her family, but she still came because she felt like she needed light from the sisters.
And what a miracle that she came because at this Cafe we met Amanda! Who also doesn't usually come to this Cafe but came today. She saw our tags & asked about them so we introduced ourselves & then Hannah introduces herself as sister Hannah. Oh my heart! Amanda tells us about herself. That she wants to be involved with the church community & meet like minded women in the gospel. She recently started a small non profit organization, & has a podcast where she shares her thoughts & experiences about God. And then! Hannah bears her testimony! She shares that she is a new member of the church, & testifies that it's the best thing she's ever done, that the gospel has changed her life & she is so grateful she found the light of Christ. Hannah was glowing! It was miraculous! We are meeting Amanda again on Friday & Hannah is coming! Stay tuned!
I just want to invite you all to share the light of Christ with others! I saw it so many times this week. It was shared with me and I shared it with others. The world is a brighter, happier place when the light of Christ is shone abroad for everyone to see!
I love you all many bunches! Go give em Heaven!
Love,
Sister Court
