October 23, 2017 More Surprises!

Sooo LYN AND MICK WERE BAPTISED!

Here is the full story:
Sister Merrick moved into ward 4 in April. Before she moved in loads of members went over and got her house ready. Lyn and Mick saw this service and it was their first contact with the church. Brother Merrick had cancer and passed away soon after and Lyn and Mick loved the funeral service and felt welcomed at the church. Eventually we had tea all together and we started teaching them. Their progress was pretty slow but they had powerful spiritual experiences at the church for a tour and Sunday services. This past Tuesday they had a temple tour and they had all their questions and concerns answered. They went inside to the waiting room. While in there the Spirit was unbelievable and Sister Merrick asked if they were ready to be baptised and they said yes and then she said what about this coming Saturday and they agreed!! The crazy thing is that we were on exchange so our district leader interviewed them right then and President McReynolds was there as well so he approved them getting baptised so soon. The baptism was so great, a recent convert baptised them both and it was his first time. Elder Tuipulotu and I confirmed them. Another crazy miracle!

This week was just so great. We saw our friend Mark multiple times and he is doing pretty well. He is a little crazy so we are not too sure if we should keep teaching him but he skipped out on a concert this weekend so that he could come to church which is a good sign. We haven’t been able to see Carol and Rory because they want a little space but some members have been in contact with them. Harrison and Joseph are doing well. 

Random highlights: I was ill after eating KFC and napped almost all of Friday haha. Also, the recent convert who baptised Lyn and Mick got the Melchizedek priesthood last night!

Mick is right next to me and Lyn is right next to Elder Tuipulotu.
