One exciting thing that happened was that a family on post was baptized. The Whitworths. There was the mom, dad, 14 year old and 9 year old all baptized. There is also a 7 year old and 5 year old that will eventually be baptized. There is an amazing story of being friendship and loved and gaining their own testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel. Brother Whitworth is a purple heart recipient. He had stepped on an IED, I think. It blew half his heel away. He now has an artificial heel and was able to stay in the military. They will be a great asset where ever they go. Miranda read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover one weekend.
We continue to volunteer on post at the Thrift Shop and the Turn Around Point each week. We visit families and continue to teach Seminary. It is amazing what we are learning as we study the Old Testament. It truly testifies of Jesus Christ and has helped to strengthen our testimony of Him and His restored Gospel. Our mission president gave us a 40 day challenge and some scriptures about the Savior to read between Zone Conference and Christmas. Those scriptures also increase our knowledge and testimony of the Savior of the World.
The recent national and world events make us ever grateful that we have a prophet on the earth to guide us through these troubling times. We know that our Savior is over all and will return again someday. This brings comfort and peace to our hearts.
