So, I just got transfer info. Guess who's got two thumbs and is staying
here in Layton? This will mean I'll be in this area for
six months and by the time I leave, I will have seen fall, winter, spring, and
summer in Layton.
The past three Saturdays have been awesome. Remember {}? I talked about
her when I first got to this area. She's the little old Asian lady with
Parkinson's. She was on date for three months ago but it fell through because
the family didn't want her to be baptized. Several things in the past three
months have changed the situation, the biggest of which was nothing but the hand
of God stepping in to soften the family's heart. About a month ago, several
people decided on the best course of action and it was decided that the {},
the senior missionary couple assigned to our stake (they're awesome, by the
way), should work with her, in addition with her fellowshipper from her old
ward. Long story short, last Saturday, {} was baptized and the next day was
confirmed a member in the small branch in the senior care home where she lives.
Getting to witness her baptism, and stand in the circle for her confirmation was
pretty amazing. The spirit was there like crazy. It was totally unlike any
baptism I had ever seen, too. Brother {}, her fellowshipper baptized her, but
he had help from a guy in our stake who's a physical therapist. The other
awesome part was that her family was at the baptism, and you could tell they
felt something. It was awesome to be there for that, and to see the process from
start to finish.
So...I think that's all for this week.
I know the gospel's true, and that the Lord loves us and doesn't forget
about us ever. I know the power of the Atonement is real, and that it can not
only cause people to change, but bring healing as well.
Love you all!
Elder Jake Lusk
