Dear family,
Dear family,
The
coolest miracles happened this week! I was with Elder Goettman as his
companion for 2 days and we were having a blast together. We went to
teach this lady and her 4 kids that had a date for baptism on the 1st of
June but she said she wasn't ready so the Elders were writing her off
for the her date on the 1st. So Elder Goettman and I went to go teach
her on Friday night, May 31st the day before her baptism and it was
awesome. We talked about the Spirit and the answers she has gotten
from God as she has read, prayed, met with us and came to church and
then we read from Doctrine and Convenants 6:22
and 23 and told her that she was like Oliver Cowdery. She agreed and
realized that God had been answering her the whole time and she needed
to not question the overwhelming feelings she had received. Elder
Goettman committed her to pray right there and ask if she needed to be
baptized and she did and knew she needed to. Then I asked her if she
wanted to get baptized tomorrow (June 1st) and she said yes. Elder
Goettman's face was awesome. The next day they spent getting everything
ready cause they weren't planning it and every thing worked out great
and they got baptized on the 1st.
I love beinga missionary and love this extra time I
have. I thank you as my parents and family for you grace and love to
let me stay here. I know it is hard but I really do appreciate it and
know for sure that I am supposed to still be here and that the Lord has
lots of work to do. The first picture is me and Elder Goettman after
our 2 days together and the other is me on a bike on the back of a car
rack cause I thought it would be cool to ride a floating bike. I still
am working out, I weigh about 170 and am about 6' 4''. I can still run
fast too. I love you all and keep you in my prayers and my fasts and I
think of you often. Keep being a missionary every day!
-Love Elder Neeley
