Hey
everyone! I'll start off by telling you I'm doing great!!! And while the work
here is going well, I just heard it's going even better back in Maranga...
Now, let’s rewind a
bit.
April
11th.
I wrote to
you detailing the experience I had sharing the gospel with a young family in a
gas station.
Well. It
is my pleasure to inform you that they are now members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Sunday
morning after the sacramental services I received a phone call from the elders
in Maranga. Elder Villarroel told me that someone wanted to talk to me. I
waited, wondering who it could be, when I hear "It's me, Gisella. Elder
Winn, thank you for sharing the gospel with us, we’ve all been
baptized and have just received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Thank you so
much".
I was
dumbfounded. I asked her about their conversion, about the missionaries, about
the family. While there were certainly trails, there had never been a lack of
faith on their part. From what I heard, nearly the whole ward attended their
baptism, and President Larson himself affected one of the baptisms.
And while
that may be one of my favorite experiences as a missionary, I think there's one
more that tops it. One that illustrates exactly what I've done here....
And It
looks like I'll be sharing it....along with pictures next week.....I'm sorry!!!
I promise a super great e-mail next week!!! Love you!!! Bye!!!
