Also,
Nidia was supposed to get baptized this past Saturday but didn't because
she was scared and had doubts. So we brought over a recent convert that
helped her a lot and shared her experience and how she was scared but
the blessing after are so great! It was a great lesson! Then on Sunday
she came to church and felt the spirit so strong that she cried the
first two hymns but then when we sang the last hymn it was "Praise to
the Man" she stopped and after asked the Relief Society President about
it. Then during Relief Society we sang about the first vision and then
the lesson was about Joseph Smith. When we showed up to her house,
she told us that she didn't want anything to do with the church, that we
were nice and everything but that she can't join a church that
........Well we spent an hour trying to explain everything to her but
she wouldn't accept it. I think her sister told her something and the man
that she stopped seeing so that she could be baptized. After the lesson
we asked her to pray that night and ask if the church was true and then
left and I cried and cried and cried. I love that women so much and her
saying she didn't want anything broke my heart. I've been rejected
before but that was a kick in the heart.
I've
learned that right before somebody is going to do something great,
there is always going to be trials, and satan is going to try and do
everything to try and get you from fulfilling your potential.
Love you guys!
