Kelbys email this week

this week has been an amazing spiritual ride. We had an investigator Qiu Rong and we've been teaching him for almost 3 months and he just wouldnt get baptized we didnt really know why so we set a 01/12 goal with him. So he says okay and then saturday we have everything set up for 7 o clock and throughout the day he's still not sure and just wouldnt commit to it so we were getting nervous. WE prayed harder and showed more love to that kid than i've ever done before. The Lord worked miracles with him. Needless to say he was baptized on saturday night and confirmed yesterday the spirit was so strong i really love that kid he's going to be a great member of the church!  I'm staying in tainain for another transfer so wooot woot i love it here and we have another solid baptizm set up for this saturday! The Lord is working miracles

this week was a great amazing full of miracles week!

 

The baptism on saturday was awesome and definitely somethingi 'll never forget. We needed to start the water at 6 for it to be full by 7:30. We were taking Huang bo han out to dinner for the baptism and we were on our way and we remembered we forgot to start the water so we booked it back and started it. So we go to dinner and then come back about 7 and there are members there and we go and see that the water level was only like shin high!!!!! The members tell us we forgot to put the plug stopper in!!! So the water was just draining the whole time! ahhhh so we go upstairs to start the meeting and we come back down to do the baptism and its still only knee high because when they put the plug in it was on its side so water was still draining! Disaster! So we go back upstairs and just sang like 6 songs and i bore my testimony and then we go back down at about 8:15 and its still only like a little over my knees. But we did it and he is baptised i had to dunk him twice because he's kinda tall and it was kinda hard but ya lol. One for the history books my first person i've ever baptized!!!

 

Mom it was amazing the spirit that was there especially yesterday when he was confirmed and know is a member of the church! I love this gospel so much and i hope i am doing what the Lord would have me do!!! I love it so ooo sos so smuch!

 

So henry finally came back so we have a ride to do our p-day stuff very fang bian (convenient).

 

I've been reading Jesus the Christ and it has really helped me to know Christ more and know what he did for me. He didnt have to do what he did he had a choice but God knew he would do it because he loves us! How much love he must have for us to do that for us to suffer everything that we've ever suffered! I know that God and Jesus Christ literally know who i am and know how to help me! I am so grateful for you and dad for raising me the way you did and helping me to grow my own personal testimony in Christ and in this church!
