We were able to see Yvonne this week and man I love that lady! We read with her the Joseph Smith- History, the BOM intro, and taught her about our current prophet Thomas S. Monson. It was so neat to hear her say towards the end of the lesson, "If I join this church, will I be as happy as y'all two are? Will I smile as much?" It was amazing to promise her that if she believes in and lives the way the Restored Gospel teaches us to live, that she CAN be and WILL be happy. She also kept telling us how when she prayed, and that peace came over her and she knew the answer was yes, that the pain in her leg was gone. Her leg that has been bothering her for weeks now, the pain just instantly left her and she could walk around on it. She told us she believes everything we have been teaching her and knows it is true now! I am very grateful that Heavenly Father answered this prayer in a way that she could recognize.
It made me think back to all the ways He has answered my pleadings and prayers. I am very grateful for Him and His loving guidance and comfort, and that of all the things a God could be doing, He listens to each and every one of His child's prayers. I feel I am coming to understand God's plan for each of us so much more as I strive to help others come to live it as well.
Random things: transfers and training ends next week; Sister Jensen and I performed at the Senior Center again (it is truly amazing to me that playing the piano in front of people used to be so scary but now I keep it my bag at all times because I never know when I'll need it); and every night I dream that I am teaching a lesson to somebody or that I am on my mission doing something somewhere.
Thank y'all as always for your examples and love!
Sister Baker
