Last week I talked a little about Bastian, how he was super ready for baptism, but his mom didn't give him permission to be baptized. We prayed all week that she would soften her heart and give us permission. So this past week we talked with his mom again, because por supuesto I am NOT GONNA GIVE UP ON HIM! So we first talked to Bastian a little. In the back of my head I knew I needed to talk to his mom afterward about baptizing her son. As the lesson ended, I knew that Satan did not want me to talk to her. My head was filled with thoughts of doubt, that she would not change or give permission. I thought that I could talk with her next week, or another time would be better. But I knew I had to, so I disregarded all those thoughts and asked to talk with her a little bit.
We testified about baptism and the blessings that we receive from it. We talked about the Atonement and how baptism is a way that we accept the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We followed the Spirit, and our prayers were answered! Her hear was softened and she gave us permission to baptize her son, so we have a date to baptize him for this Saturday!! Such an awesome experience!
And we also found some awesome people this week!
This week was awesome. A testimony builder that God listens to our prayers and answers them. He softens that hearts of the people to listen to our message! People are prepared, we just need to find them!
This experience really strengthened my testimony about prayer and the Spirit. That God listens to each one of us, and will answer our prayers. Reminds me of a scripture in 3 Nephi 18:20
20 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you.
God hears our prayers. Ask and you shall receive.
