We had a baptism in Guymon Oklahoma on Sunday! It was so amazing! It has truly been a roller coaster with Sylvia. I've only known her for less than a week, but so much has happened. The sisters have been working with her for about 4 months. They almost stopped teaching her because she wasn't progressing, but the Lord knew better. My first day in Guymon, we had a lesson with her. Her date to be baptized was June 28, but she wasn't completely sure about it. Sister Rosell felt impressed to tell her that they were going to stop teaching her because they thought she didn't want it. They kept coming back for some reason though. That day, Sylvia was sick and she knew that Heavenly Father was telling her, "You need to stay here and listen." But after we said the opening prayer before the lesson... she told us that she was ready to be baptized! We all teared up and felt the spirit so strong. We left the apartment just so happy! It was such a battle before Sylvia came into the font to be baptized. We all prayed so hard that it would happen. After the Baptismal Interview the Elders told her "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith." Which we felt prompted to say to her, but we didn't. But really I think that quote was needed for me. I doubted for a little bit. I can testify to you that praying works! Praying and acting on faith is so powerful.
Sylvia was baptized!!!
I love you so much and I know that you "receive no witness after the trial of your faith"!
Love,
