We met with Melissa Corbitt and some of her kids and they are all so ready to be baptised. We taught her and 2 of her daughters, Amaara and Kahlan, and also one of her sons, David. We taught them the restoration and the whole time they were pretty rowdy and asking a ton of questions some of them were legit and other ones they were just trying to be funny but we tried in the best way possible to help them understand everything. When we got to telling them about Joseph Smith and his vision of God and Jesus Christ, it was absolutely silent and the spirit was super strong. The rest of the time we could tell the spirit hit them hard and they all of the sudden started talking about baptism and what it is and how it didn't feel right when they were baptised. We explained it all to them and about priesthood authority and they all excepted the invitation to be baptised on december 8th! It was probably the best I have ever felt leaving a lesson. The change that occurred with everyone of them was undeniably the Spirit working through them and testifying to them that our message is true and the importance of it. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the restored church of Jesus Christ and that it was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith along with the Priesthood authority to baptize. Jesus Christ is at the helm and as long as we follow Him and His ordained prophets we cannot get lost and we will know what we must do in this life in order to return back into the presence of our Father in Heaven.
Sara is also still progressing and smoke free! She came to church yesterday and really enjoyed it. Melissa and her family will be coming to church next week so we are very excited for that! Please pray for us to find a new home for Melissa and her family and for Sara that she will continue to stay strong and not smoke and to continually be readin The Book of Mormon and meet with us. Thanks for all that y'all do!
