Baptism!!

Bob was Baptized!

I have been waiting for this week my entire life.

The gospel changes human nature.

Before Bob was Brother Schaber... he would always say,

"It's just really hard for me because I have to see things to believe them.That's just the way I am!"

Fast Forward to Sunday school yesterday: "At first I was questionable, so I took the time to study and pray for myself. Now I KNOW that this is the the Truth and the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the Earth today."   

My heart exploded with Joy as I watched him enter into the baptismal font.

Words cannot describe the Spirit of Love that was in that room.

President and Sister Cutler were there along with so many investigators!

After the Baptism, the family that Brother Schaber lives with said they wanted us to go to lunch with them and explain the significance of what their "Uncle Bobby" had just done!

So there we were... at the Family Buffet- teaching the gospel. :)

ps: The cornbread was Yum-ola!

Church yesterday was mind-blowing.

Sister Westra and I didn't sit together for all 3 hours of church because there were so many investigators, people coming back to church, and part-member families!

The gospel principles class was packed. The Elders taught about the Restoration.

Brother Schaber shared his testimony with penetrating conviction and the room went still, and everyone felt the power of the Spirit testifying of truth.

It was an incredible blessing to those who brought their families to that class. Those who love the gospel want those they love to know it's absolutely true for themselves.  

I know that this gospel is true.

It is Christ's church on the Earth today preparatory to the second coming.

People have been prepared and are flocking to the truth! I know that we have a prophet today who leads and guides us because he has been given the priesthood authority of God to do so.

I know that I don't have to go through life alone- 

I have family, friends, and a Heavenly Father who Loves me and will strengthen me if I turn to Him. 

I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. I love Him. 

I know that it is through His Atonement that I may Live! 

I can progress and feel peace in my life & I know this applies to every single person. 

Heavenly Father Loves you. & wants to help you.

I am so grateful for my testimony and I pray everyday that it continues to grow.

Steadfast & Immovable in Christ!

Love, 

Sister Osmond

Also: I'm going to the Chicago TEMPLE next week! wow. wow. wow.

We can only go every 6 months if we are serving nearby. So some missionaries don't ever go! & even though Sister Westra was 2 weeks shy of 6 months- It's what she wanted more than anything before going home... so basically we have the Best Mission President Ever. Ah! I can't wait.

Ps. Because of Memorial Day (prime proselyting time- families are together) P-Day has been moved to Tuesday! The day I am going to the temple. AH! :) We still have to write President so I will email but I don't know how much time I will have!
