I went on exchanges this last weekend in Suva. Just on that day, we went
to a couple lessons and our baptism. The two lessons we had were some of THE
most amazing experiences I have had on the mission.
One sister begging to come to church and be baptized after she realized
that "THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE EARTH" and
the second sister pleading to come to church and crying as she voiced her
decade long search for something more than just the bible. Something that will
help her know Jesus Christ better and connect her God. To which we boldly
testified that "THIS IS IT!". Her search is over and God sent us here
to her house.
Later that day, we also had our baptism that the elders helped teach
while we were gone at the open house. It was wonderful and their confirmation
on Sunday was wonderful. They are ready to just jump right in to serving in the
church. It is wonderful to be in the middle of so much joy and happiness. We
had an investigator come to church with her less active husband who we
contacted as a referral from the open house. She came a non interested catholic
and immediately following church asked me "how can I become a member!".
I couldn't tell what changed her. Was it: Sacrament? the Sunday School
lesson on our purpose in life? The families that fellowshipped them in the
hall? The compassionate service announcement for our recent convert that they
were putting together a baby basket? or was it the Relief Society lesson on
adversity and how we are all in this together? I can't tell. Maybe it was all
of it. I just know that I LOVE CHURCH. I LOVE THIS CHURCH
BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD HERE ON THE EARTH.
How blessed we are for everything we have.
Love, Sister Singleton
