We had another baptism this weekend, on Valentine's Day!
It was for Nicole
Mateos! She is so amazing and has an amazing conversion story. She
lived with her boyfriend for over a year, and that was literally her
only problem. I've been teaching her since November, and she has gone
through a lot of trials. She lost her job and have big relationship
problems with her boyfriend, and I did everything I could to help her as
a missionary. I tried my best, but the Lord was testing her and I had
to step back and let him work. She had plenty of faith and continued
reading, praying, going to church, and living the commandments. She was
blessed with another job and she finally found a place to live! It was
crazy to watch, the Lord has worked miracles for her and I was so amazed
to watch and learn! She has expressed desire to go on a mission and I
plan on going to the temple with her in a year. She's amazing and I'm so
grateful for her diligence.
Our teaching pool is getting
smaller so we have been focusing on finding lately. It's hard to find
sometimes in places like Davis County, but the Lord always has more
people for us to find, teach, baptize, and retain.
I love you all and thank you so much for the support!
Love,
Elder Strate
