Mission Miracle from Sora Krista Gibbons

(Sora Gibbons was back in America for a few weeks healing from an ankle injury)

1st Flavia Butters, is moving through the discussion, reading and having the missionaries over when ever she can. She has found a new fire for the gospel and is soaking it up. I talk in Romanian, and she asks and expresses worries, I try to help, then turn her toward our missionaries here. She is doing wonderful, and she sees a baptism on the horizon. The second good news is that Trisha has set a baptismal date. I love missionary work. Finial my best friend called me yesterday, and said her life was in a rut, she did not want to go on. I began to talk to her about the gospel. I asked her, Do you know who you are, where you are going, where you came from. She said "no". I testified to her of her worth, and that God has a plan for us, and that through this gospel, all those questions can be answered. She is meeting with the missionaries next week.

2nd and the main event. I went to the most amazing Baptism. I was working with a wonderful woman named Ruby and her son Hasan before I left to go on my mission. She was receptive and loving the gospel so much. However she was not a citizen and so could not be baptized till her paper work was done. It was amazing, I got home and visited her on occasion and she came to church every Sunday. Then this Saturday, she and her son got to be baptized. I was the only sister missionary there so they had me help her get a baptismal dress, show her where to go, and then I got to be there to help her when she came out of the font. The glow she had was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. She had to pause in the font, the tears blocking her view, then she turned toward the stairs, she flew into my arms and whispered, “ I feel so light.” I smiled she pulled away and said sorry for getting me all wet, I gave her another squeeze and shifted her so she could see her son be baptized. It was the most amazing, I think I have said amazing enough, Wonderful event. To see them change to hear there sweet testimony, makes missionary work worth every second. They were confirmed this Sunday and that was also wonderful to experience.
