Baptisms in Buokrom

Dear Family,

4 great people to be baptized this Sunday and hopefully at least 4 more by June 10th. Elder Fawole and I are really working hard with the member referrals given to us. We have seen how the Lord has blessed us as we help Him "save souls". This week as we taught a husband and wife, we clearly saw how the spirit helps them to ask the right questions and us to give the right answers. As we were closing with the lesson on Christ's Church and the Apostasy, we asked if they had any questions. The wife asked, "If Jesus Christ established only one church and then because of the apostasy, there are now so many churches, how do we know which church is his today?"   We taught them about the Restoration.

Elder Fawole then asked, "earlier, you both said that if you came to know that Jesus Christ's original church was on the earth today, that you would follow it.  Now that you have found that church, what are you going to do?" With emotions flying, the husband without hesitation said that he very much wanted to join the church, and we set a baptismal date with him for the 10th of June. His wife however, still has questions about the priesthood that we hope to resolve and also prepare her for the 10th. This is just one example of many where the Lord has given us the people to teach and we have done our part to teach by the spirit.

I love you all.  Have a great week.
