We are expecting another baptism from one of the most amazing people ever. Her name is Girberta. She is 37. Can't read. Her son just got shot and killed (was 14). Her entire life she has been abused. People just steal from her just because she can't count. Like she should of got paid like 15 dollars a day and instead they would give her 15 dollars a week (for 12 hours everyday) It is so aweful she has 4 kids and the dad left her and the members have taken her in and are starting to teach her how to read and are finding her good jobs and stuff like that. She has gone to church 6 times but because she is really slow and can't read the book of mormon my comp didn't want her to get baptised even though she has been begging us to allow her to follow Christ and get baptised.. But I finally talked to pres and he said to baptise her so if everything goes good she should get baptised :D
lOVE YOU GUYS
LOVE ELDER DAVENPORT :D
Wow, I never read the Book of Mormon when I was baptized. It sure is a great idea to read it but when you feel the truthfulness of the gospel the spirit tells you it is true. It did for me. She just needs to make sure to daily read in the Book of Mormon to keep that spirit in her heart at all times. :D back. :)
