| Ken's baptism(: |

| Dana carrying me around like a dead person haha |
This week Ken got
baptized!! It was seriously the most elect person I have ever met in my entire
life! The first time we met him we would ask him a question and he would end up
teaching us the principle. It was seriously the craziest thing ever. After he
was baptized he came up out of the water and you could see in his eyes how much
he knew this was true. He was glowing. He stayed in the font for about 2
minutes just contemplating and the spirit was so strong. You could not deny it.
He has such a strong testimony and he was been wanting to be baptized for a
long time but he wanted to be baptized in the correct church. When he met with
us he said he knew instantly that we were the only true church on the face of
the earth. He truly has been amazing to teach! So amazing.
This week I was
reading in Alma. Once again. Haha I'm almost done I promise! But I was reading
about the 2000 stripling warriors. We all know the scripture where it talks
about them not fearing death and all my life I was convinced the reason they
didn't fear death was because they knew what happens after death. This time as
I read through the story I realized something completely different. They didn't
fear death but it wasn't necessarily because they weren't afraid of dying but
because they had the faith that Heavenly Father would protect them.
"...yea they had been taught by their mothers that if they did not doubt,
God would deliver them."
I love that phrase
so much. They did not doubt. They had 100% faith in the Lord and faith that the
lord would bring miracles into their life. But they also knew that the second
they allowed doubt to creep into their minds the miracles would cease. They
knew that because of their faith they would have God on their side. Because of
their faith they would be blessed for allowing and helping their parents keep
their covenants.
In our own lives
its the exact same thing. Do we allow our faith to carry us? Do we know that by
our faith miracles come. By our faith we can accomplish all that the Lord has
in store for us. But in those moments that we allow doubt to creep in it's then
that we stumble and fall.
I want to
challenge you all to strengthen your faith. To rely on the Savior and expect
blessings and miracles to come through your faith. Love you all have the best
week ever! OH WHO WENT TO THE TEMPLE?! If you didn't go this week!!
Love Sister Wade
FUN FACTS:
1. We may have
knocked into a crazy old man who happened to be a member and he tried to
impress us by saying really big words and famous people's names but really he
didnt make any sense. Oh and he is convinced he is going to change the face of
missionary work... yeah I don't really get it either haha
2. Dana a PT in
our ward decided she was going to treat me like a semi dead person and picked
me up and carried me all around
3. My favorite STL
had to go home for surgery ):
