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."
