crazy here in Grants Pass because of Boatnik.... Its like a boat show
party. They have boat races on the Rogue. We got to watch a few on
Saturday it is pretty great.
Well This past week was truly an amazing week. Jasmine Decided after
one sunday at church that she wants to get baptized! Her and Kaalyn
will get baptized June 9th, by Shane who is just starting to come back
to church. It is an amazing experience to see the Gospel Change
peoples lives.
Well the biggest news of the week is that Pam was able to get
baptized. We got word about 3 hours prior that our mission president
would like to come. We had it all set up that a new convert in the
ward that connected with Pam was going to do it. The baptism was at
6:30 and at 5:15 we got a call that he was too sick to get out of bed.
It was sad, you could hear how sad he was over the phone. Well me and
my companion went into a classroom and prayed we sat there and with
tears in our eyes both felt peace that this would work out. I then
felt really strongly that we should ask President Young to Baptize
Pam. We made the calls and he said he would be honored to do that if
thats what she wanted. She agreed and he was able to baptize her. The
spirit was sooo strong. The Love that President Young has for everyone
he meets is just incredible. He shows so much Charity it is amazing.
It was quite an experience to see president young in the font talking
Pam through it all. Pam is 63 and a cancer survivor and has a lot of
health problems. She was pretty worried, but President Young and her
were determined to only do it once. It was one of the best moments of
my mission. We found out later that it was President Youngs first
baptism since he came to Oregon.
She was able to get confirmed on Sunday and seemed to be on cloud 9.
She is truly converted to the gospel and knows it will bless her life.
We really are seeing miracles daily here in Merlin and I feel so
blessed to be a part of it.
Love Sister Rose
