I've officially been a missionary for 1 year! I made it! Now it seems like the time is flying. I'm so grateful I get to serve the Lord and serve here in Texas!
We had the amazing and astonishing opportunity to invite someone to be baptized yesterday. His name is Travis and he's in his 20's I believe. His friend Rache,l who was a less active member, brought Travis to church last Sunday. Then yesterday he said that he has been looking for a purpose in life and something to bring him happiness. As we taught our lesson, I asked him near the end of it 'What would it mean to you if these things are true?' and he said the most astonishing word that brought the Spirit into the room with full force instantly.
He said "Everything".
Through tears we promised him that he would find what he was searching for which was happiness and a purpose and we set a baptismal date for June 12 and he agreed to it.
I felt that getting to teach him was an answer to my prayers, to be able to share the gospel with someone that actually was looking for it. It is a blessing to get to be in the YSA ward and get to witness and take part in helping not just his soul come closer to Christ, but mine as well.
I couldn't ask for anything better.
I love you all so much and I hope you help one soul come closer to our Savior and Redeemer this week. Expect Miracles and they will surprise you when you least expect them, hilariously enough.
Aiming True and Flying High,
Sister Baker
