"Yes" to Baptism
Crazy story last Monday night. Sister Sharp and I were eating at Chipotle when all of a sudden we hear a big crash sound. When I turned around to see what happened a truck ran into a pole. The driver tried to back out but then he realized that it wasn't going to work. Luckily he was okay but it was crazy.
Went on exchanges and we went tracting. The sister I was on exchanges with had me pick a house to knock. I picked a house when we got to the door and knocked like 5 dogs started barking. This lady came to the door and was like this is not a good time. I didn't know what to think because it was only the 3rd time I had been tracting. I think I need to just listen to the spirit a little more next time haha.
The temple open house starts this week. I'm so excited. Sister Sharp and I had a lesson with someone were teaching and we talked about temples. We talked about the importance of temples and how we can be sealed to our families forever. When we showed the person we were teaching pictures of the temple he kept saying he wanted to go there. We invited him to the temple open house and later that night we got a call from him saying he told his friend about us and the temple open house and his friend wants to come too. We ran to his house and gave him some more temple flyers. He said that he loves his church and didn't think he was open to changing churches but he just feels like he should keep meeting with us. It was so awesome to see his desire to want to go to the temple. I'm so grateful for temples; the peace that comes from going to the temple and that families can be sealed for eternity.
Thursday I had my very first zone conference. We talked about the temple open house and what we should focus on after the open house. Watched a little bit of the 95th birthday celebration of President Russell M. Nelson. While watching the celebration, I had a feeling of confirmation that President Russell M. Nelson is a prophet of God. President Holland said that we should not fear because the Lord is on our side. To talk to everyone we meet and not to be afraid.
On Friday night we had a lesson and earlier in the week someone we are teaching challenged me to pray about the Godhead. I challenged him to do the same thing. When we had our lesson I told him I got an answer and asked if he had gotten his answer. He said he is still trying to figure it out, but he got clarity on Prophet Jospeh Smith. We asked him to be baptized. There was a little break of silence. Then he said yes! Sister Sharp and I were seriously freaking out. You could feel the spirit so strong when we asked him. I was almost is tears.
So many amazing things happened this week and I'm so grateful for everything.
Love y'all Sister Ogden
