Loma is pur investigator on date for baptism on the 7th of April. She is doing AMAZING. Every time we see her she expressed how excited she is to be baptized and how she wants it more than anything else. This week at church the ward was soo good at fellowshipping her! It is amazing seeing the work progress. She has such a light in her eyes and is so happy. This is a story she told us the other night: "The other day I went to visit my brother and he asked me, "what happened? Did you meet someone? You met someone." I just laughed and said, "no, I didn't meet anyone and I don't want to meet anyone." To which he replied, "then why are you so happy?" And I told him that it's because of the Book of Mormon! It just makes you so happy!" " As she told is this story we were all so happy. The Book of Mormon has so much power.:) if you don't know, read it and see if it makes you happier! I promise it will :)
This week made us even more grateful for the plan of salvation. Our investigator, Liz, who we've been working with since my very first day here in Zanesville, passed away suddenly Friday morning. :( my heart broke into five billion pieces when we found out. She was so close to reaching her desire of being baptised and receiving the gospel blessings into her life. She has many less active children, so we will be working hard and praying diligently to help them come back to church so they can do the temple work for their mom...and themselves. Liz was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I am so blessed to have gotten to know her and spend so much time with her. I can't wait to see her again someday! Her funeral service was very beautiful. So many of the ward members who have loved her for so long were there, and it was so focused on the eternal plan of happiness, which she had a strong testimony of. 💟
I know that God's plan is perfect. I am so grateful to have parents who taught me and my sisters of it, and that we are an eternal family. I am beyond words grateful for the joy the fullness of Jesus Christ's gospel brings.
Thank you all for your prayers! I love you all! Be happy and don't forget to hug those you love 💕
Love,
