Hey everyone-
This week was pretty cool. We had some baptisms, and some cool experiences as well.
This week we had Mariam and Mary get baptised. Which is pretty cool. The day before Mariam got baptised, we had some issues, and we werent sure if she was going to be able to. It was just some weird legal stuff becuase of the government here. But we called the mission president about it. And he didnt know. And he had to call the Asia Area presidency. And they didnt know. And so they had to talk to the Asia Area attorney about it. And he gave it the ok. So, that news got passed down to us, and then Mary was batpsied the next day. It was kinda cool because we had our investigator go all the way up to the top dogs. Kinda fun.
Also this week, we met this way cool investigator. Riza. Sorry, no pictures. But we met her on saturday, the day of the baptisms, and then she came to church on sunday. She accepted a baptisimal date that sunday. She was just wayyyy prepared. and loves everything about what we are teaching. She is just excited to join the church, and to learn more. Anyway, it seemed kinda odd to me that she was that in to the church and everything that quick. So, when we taught her on monday, i asked her why she already seemed to know the church was true. and then she told us about a dream she had...
On friday night, riza had a dream. Pretty simple dream, but way cool. She said that in her dream she saw a random girl walking down the street. She didnt know the girl or anything, but she asked her where she was going. the girl said that she was going to "jalan tanjong batu" (thats an area here in tawau) And riza, not knowing the girl, felt that she needed to follow this girl to go to that area. So she starts walking with the girl in the street and Riza asks her some more questions about how to get to jalan tanjong batu and random stuff like that. Riza said that she seemed very curious about going to that place becuase she had never been there before. So she just trusted this random girl that she met in the street to take her there. that was all that happened in her dream.
We met Riza the next day after her dream at our recent converts house. She had never seen us before, and didnt know anything about us, but said that she "had feelings that she couldnt describe" about wanting to talk to us. When we saw her at our recent converts house, we didnt even contact her. She just said hi. But later, she told the recent convert that she felt like she really wanted to meet us again. That was when our recent convert told us about her, and i was able to call her and invite her to come to church on sunday. And she came. It was her first time ever being at church.
She said on the way to church she discovered that the church was on Jalan tanjong batu. The place that girl was taking her in her dream. She never knew where the church was before that. But she had been taken there in her dream. When she got to the church, she told us that she knew it was the place that the girl was trying to take her. crazy huh?
SO thats why, ;ater that day, after church, she accepted a baptisimal date, and just seemed to know everything was true. Anyway, pretty cool story. I hope it made sense. haha. So i attatched some pictures of the baptism. And a drink that i got that was wayy good. haha. and also, a guy named petrus that we taught. He was way cool and way funny. he is old, but he is still way strong. So those are the pictures. hopw everyone had a good week! remember to write back!
