The Miracle of the Gospel

I went over to talk to Mirta, my neighbor, because her back was hurting so badly she couln't come to church. The sister missionaries came after about 10 minutes and we talked to her about her goals. She said her main goal was to not have pain in her back. We explained about priesthood blessings, and she asked for a blessing. Tomorrow, Jerry and someone else will give her a blessing.

The sisters asked her if she wanted to be baptized on Sunday, January 29th (the day before we fly home.) She said she really wanted to. We made plans and as it stands now, Jerry will baptize her (and sing a song.) I will play the piano. It is going to be wonderful!The sister missionaries are going to stop by every day this week for a short visit to answer any questions and clear up any doubts she has. I am grateful for our diligent sisters! Please keep Mirta in your prayers.

The gospel is true. It changes lives for the better! We are here to grow and progress. The Lord uses the weak and the simple to do his work on the earth. (D&C 1:23.) That would be Jerry and me. I am grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ that allows us to repent and draw closer to Him. It is truly a miracle when people accept the gospel and choose to be baptized!
