My companion and I have just been working hard to do the best we can to find another family or anyone that is interested in the gospel. On Monday night we went over to the B. family (part member family- Mircea- non member father, Eli- member, Evei- non- member 10 year old daughter who wants to get baptized really badly but only by her dad) where both the grandparents and a cousin were there! We had a great lesson and then Eli's mom turned out to be very interested and so we set up again for later on this week with her. We returned and we had a GREAT first lesson where the Spirit was very strong. She told us that the night before we came over she had a dream where Jesus told her to come to Him and that all her hardships were coming to an end. Being surprised and happy we challenged her that once she knew that the Book of Mormon was true that she would be baptized, she obviously accepted. We then committed her to exercise her faith by coming to church (she has some health problems) knowing that God would support her. And so she did! I gave a talk on Charity and she said that she cried during it because she felt so "plin" (full). She also said that she had no problems whatsoever walking to church, or while she was there concerning her heart and lungs (which rarely/never happens)! It's just further testimony that our Heavenly Father rewards the faith of the honest heart and blesses His children who have a true desire to follow Him. I love this gospel. And now the whole family I'm sure is going to want to get baptized! I can't describe to you how grateful I am to be a missionary ---to be a part of the Lord's work of inviting others unto Him. It's a pleasure beyond any description!
