Past Referral turns Golden

What a week...

Monday we got a call from a member in a different ward and they gave us a referral. The referral had met with missionaries before in the past. Tuesday we went and stopped by the referral and talked with him. The first thing he said to us was "I want to go to church, but I don't have a ride." It was seriously amazing. We told him we would find him a ride and then we set up a lesson for Friday. On Friday we taught him about the Restoration. After the lesson both Sister Sharp and I had the feeling that we should ask him if he wanted to be baptized? He said yes! He said he wanted to pray more about his decision, but the spirit was so strong it was amazing. The next day he called to let us know he got an answer to his prayer and wants to be baptized. We have set a date for him to baptized. It was seriously the most incredible experience ever. The Lord works in such astonishing ways and puts you where you need to be at the right time.

This past week the Raleigh North Carolina temple was rededicated by President M. Russell Ballard. On Saturday we had a mission wide conference and President M. Russell Ballard came and spoke to us. It was seriously incredible. I'm so grateful for prophets and apostles. My testimony of them has grown so much lately.

Love and miss y'all
