Never give up!

 One of the biggest perks of our new calling is getting to know the new converts.  The stories are inspiring and miraculous!  This week, we went to a baptism of a family who had been investigating the church for MANY years.  They restarted again with our missionaries during COVID and this time really wanted to know more.  They decided to get married so they could get baptized.  They are from a branch at the northern part of our mission in a little oil town called Catriel.  Branches are the best because everyone comes to the baptism and they have a big party to celebrate after!  This branch doesn't even have a church building they meet in an old house.  I love the portable baptismal fonts the church has for situations like this.   The branch president dedicated & sang a song to them right before they were baptized. “I know that my redeemer lives” it was so special and the spirit was so strong!  After the closing prayer our friend who got baptized was telling Steve that during the closing prayer he saw the faces of over 50 missionaries that had taught him.  

Steve told him they all are feeling a warm spirit right now and have know idea why!  What a beautiful story of how the Lord is preparing hearts and to never give up!

Always a great party with great food!
