"B-Line To The Park"

Feb 10, 2020

We had a cool experience with our friend A. that got baptized last week. We went to his house to teach him about temples and we were super excited because he has had lots of family members pass away, so we wanted him to know how he could help them out. Once he understood the concept of temples, he asked us if you could be baptized for a friend that had passed away. We explained that you need permission and yata yata.  He then he explained how he had had a best friend that he had started a business with and they started to have a lot of success together, so they bought a small factory and hired some employees and started working a bunch and it was going really well for them.  Then his work partner, who was also one of his best friends, cheated him out and basically took full ownership in the company, kicking out A. His buddy that cheated him out of the business ended up dying 5 years later in an accident in the factory.

A. explained to us, "He finished his life cheating and lying, and I imagine he is not in peace right now in the spirit world, he really needs to be baptized. I forgave him, can I be baptized for him in the temple?"  How cool is that????? That is the true love of Christ, loving those who despitefully use you.

S. got baptized!! It was awesome and crazy! We couldn’t find her like 1 hour before her baptism. We had no idea where she was! We were sitting in Nilsa’s house waiting for something, but she never showed up. We said a prayer and asked Heavenly Father for a miracle, and then asked that we could know what we needed to do. A few minutes later I really felt like we needed to go to the park, I don’t know why. I asked Nilsa, "she has a park that she usually goes to right??" She explained how to get there and we went, on our way we saw her in the street!!!! My comp saw her, I was in a B-line to the park and wasn’t even looking. It’s awesome, the spirit told us to go to the park, but she wasn’t in the park, she wasn’t even going to the park, but on the way there we found her.

Thanks fam love you!
