Hey everyone,
I hope you have had a good week. It
is getting closer and closer
to Christmas. And I am so excited. It is easier to share the gospel at
this time when people are a little more open towards the gospel.
And they are thinking of Jesus Christ a little more. This week has
been awesome. Cool story. So this week was going kinda rough. We were
going into an appointment for a lady that we mostly just visit. We
teach her a little. But she doesn't really remember what we say. She
just remembers that we bring her happiness. Any ways, we go in and her
husband comes out and yelled at us and told us never to come back
because we were causing problems. And our other investigator has been
out of contact for the last couple weeks. So we were like dang. But
then at church we have been watching this kid named Nick. He is ten
but hasn't been baptized yet. We are supposed to get him into
primary. But then this week we decided to have a lesson with him. And
just teach him. So we sat him down. And talked to him about the
importance of baptism. And we taught him the first lesson. And it went
really well. And we talked about what the importance of baptism. And we
talked about how he will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And he
was confused about what that was. So we talked to him about it. And
then I was like have you felt it? And he sat for a second and thought
about it. And he didn't really answer. So I asked him. Do you want to?
Because one of the times that I feel the Holy Ghost the most is when
I receive a blessing, would you like one? And he said sure. So we asked
if his cousin (who was sitting in on the lesson and just got back from
his mission) if he would give him a blessing and he did. And the
spirit was so strong. And we told Nick that he could feel this same
feeling every day for the rest of his life! And then we asked him if he
would be baptized. We said. Hey you could get baptized the day after
Christmas! How would that feel? And he said Yes! I am so excited
for him. Sometimes he is a little punk but hey we are getting there.
And this was a super cool testimony builder that the Lord watches out
for us. We have a lot to teach him between now and then. And we have a
lot to figure out. But I am happy right now. The Lord knew when I was
having a rough time. But he was there for me the whole time. And he
showed me. Elder Bigelow, There are prepared people right in front of
you! Pick your head up. And it was so great! And I love it out here!
I am doing great out here. Thanks for all your love and prayers.
I really appreciate it. The work is moving and I am having a good
time. Love you all.
Love, Elder Bigelow
