안녕하세요!
Wow, this week flew by fast!
I don't know if any of you remember Elder Whiting? He said
the closing prayer in General Conference. He's the area president for the Asia
North Area and he and his wife held a mission tour with us. It was really, really good, really faith-building and
eye-opening.
He spoke really frankly with us on how we need to be better,
have more faith, be more Christ-like etc. It gave me a long list to work on for these next two weeks.
Always trying to be better!
So the most amazing, life-changing thing happened was the
baptism of my dearest friend Yoon!
She is such an inspiration to me. This entire week leading
up to her baptism, things have not been working out, to say the least. She has
had to endure a lot but through it all she still smiled and said "It's ok!
Because I'm going to be baptized next week!"
I feel so honored to be able to be a part of her baptism. To
help, even in a small way. My heart was full as she went in the water. I could
see that she was nervous but she still had a smile on her face.
After the baptism, even though she was soaking wet, we
hugged and with tears in her eyes she said "Wow. It's over! I think I'm
going to change my birthday to today."
Words really can't describe it. I got to see my best
friend's faith and testimony grow and I was able to be there for the start of
her new life.
"And if it so be that you should labor all your days in
crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how
great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!" - D&C
18:15
Even after the baptism she had some really unfortunate
things happen but the whole time she said she felt happy and at peace because
she was baptized. Her faith blows me away. If we all could have faith like my
friend Yoon we would be able to do anything.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week~~ <3 <3
Love,
Sister Holdaway
