Conversion is real...and it's beautiful...week 56

Monday, September 12, 2016

Well, after only four weeks of meeting with her, sister Yeung Loy Tai accepted baptism by immersion for a remission of sins. Her preparation by her father in heaven was uncanny. She was forced out of her home due to financial problems six months ago. She was struggling to find a job when Elder Love and I ran into her. Within 2 weeks of meeting her, she miraculously found a solid job AND a very cheap house (according to the members that would teach with us). She will be moving a week after her confirmation. We are working as quickly as we can with both wards to support her.
We had a TON of ward activities this week as well that all went great. The mission president visited the baptism though, and said that it was the strongest he had ever felt the spirit during a convert's testimony. She truly is becoming happy because of the blessings of the gospel. Not everyone gets such immediate blessings, but for those who are willing to wait, they come. I know this, and pray for the valiance that sister Yeung has.

Tomorrow I have to give a zone training for three hours. Hope it goes well.


This is the happiest person ever at her baptism!



Notes from Mom:  Elder Love's mom shared his letter to her, wherein he said some really kind things about Ian.  "So yesterday was Sister Yeung's baptism. It was amazing. Her testimony afterward was one of the most humble I have ever heard. She talked about how she has always believed in Christ but that baptism didn't seem like something she needed to do until she found this church. This entire past week she was so nervous about being baptized but it was a good type of nervous because she understood how serious and sacred baptism really is. She talked about that in her testimony as well and said that as soon as she was raised out of the water all of her fears were gone. She said that she felt something in her chest that she cannot describe with words. There were many wet eyes and full hearts yesterday. Elder Taylor and I also had the opportunity to bare our testimonies and sing "When I am baptized " while she was drying off. We were definitely put together for a reason because music is the best way for both of us to invite the Spirit in. I will remember that day forever."

A few other pictures were posted on the Sheung Shui ward's facebook page.
