Writings from West Virginia: #WINNERWINNERCHICKENDINNER

Hello Family and Friends! I hope you are all doing well this week! I hope you all had a great Sunday! This is going to be a short one, because we have a lot going on today.

The main thing that happened today is two-fold! On Wednesday, we met with S. again, whom we've been meeting with for a while. The great part of Wednesday's lesson though, was it was all about baptism! We invited her to be baptized on this upcoming baptismal day, February 8th, and she accepted! Hesitantly, but accepted! Her main concern at the time was that she wanted her fiance/boyfriend/whatever to be there, because he's a less-active down in [another state] that got her started, so she says, on investigating the church. On Wednesday, we went through what she wanted have for her baptism. Who she wanted to do everything, stuff like that. She chose her friend C. to perform the actual baptism.

So. You gotta understand, it's pretty much agreed upon in the dark corners and out of range of S&C's hearing that they would make the best couple. There were some unsubstantiated rumors about S.'s boyfriend, but we wont go into that here. Basically, you could totally tell that C. really likes S., and we were fairly certain that S. liked him, mostly because they would go on long walks together, and all this other gushy romantic stuff.

ANYWAY. On Sunday, we are sitting in combined Priesthood waiting for it to start so we can go to Elder's quorum, when C., sitting in front of us, turns around to us and goes "oh! I forgot to tell you, S. told me she was praying a couple nights ago (Praying about decisions? We're doing our job!) and asked if her boyfriend was the right one for her, and she said she got a no for an answer! WOO HOO! C. couldn't contain himself. He had the biggest smile on his face. He's such a stand up guy.

Come to find out in Ward Council (You bishops out there, if you are holding 3 hour ward councils, there is a special place reserved for you in you know where) that C. and S. are basically a "thing" now. #WINNERWINNERCHICKENDINNER. It's like a gosh dang Disney movie! Perfect ending!

She is being interviewed by President Salisbury today in Bluefield (which is why we have to leave early) and will hopefully be baptized February 8th! Pray like you've never prayed before people! She can make it! We believe it! This will be my first baptism in almost 5 months (M. still counts as mine you dang critics!). It is amazing to watch the change in her as she is taking the steps to becoming a member of the church! We went over the baptismal questions with her on Wednesday, and she could confidently answer each one!

Anyway, that's my miracle story for the week. I hope you all like it! I know miracles have not ceased in our day! Don't worry Moroni, I still believe!

Love you all! Until next week,

Love,

Elder Brax Johnson
