The Work Is Moving Forward

Dear Family!

This has been a great week, and I´ve been blessed yet again to see miracles from my Heavenly Father. The highlight of my week was on Friday, when I was able to accompany Leandro and Maxima, two recent converts that I´ve mentioned before, to the temple as they entered for the first time to do baptisms. I was asked to help in the baptistry as a worker, so I was able to watch as they both entered the baptismal font. Tears of joy streamed down my cheeks as I was blessed to watch them take part in temple work and see the joy on their faces. This gospel has truly changed them. Maxima is a different person completely, always smiling. Afterwards, we were able to talk to them about the rest of the work that is done in the temple, the sacred work that seals families together forever. They still are working faithfully towards the goal of being sealed in the temple next August. I hope that I´ll be in an area close enough to the temple that I can attend.

Also, I was so excited that they asked me to help out as a temple worker. I loved it! And it really made me want to work as a temple worker, especially in the baptistry when I get home. I love the temple!!

This Sunday my heart almost burst with joy as I watched two inactive members walk into sacrament meeting. One is a mother of 3 who hasn´t attended church for years. We´ve been visiting her for so long, and she finally came to church and brought two of her children with her :) The other is a 17 year old named Victor who hasn´t been to church for about a year. He used to always leave when we came to visit his house (we have lunch there with his mother every Friday), but he slowly started to talk to us. And now he makes sure that he´s there every time. He has really started to trust us. He suddenly started coming to the ward activities and we were shocked when we saw him walk into sacrament meeting on Sunday.

I could physically see the change in these members faces. As they are beginning to once again live the gospel and accept it fully into their lives, I can see the light and the happiness illuminating their lives. It brings me so much joy! I have developed a deep love for both of them as I´ve visited their houses and beared my testimony to them.

I know that this is the work of the Lord and that He is very heavily involved in all of it. He is moving His work forward and blessing the lives of His beloved children more and more each day. My heart is full of gratitude that he´s given me the opportunity to be even a small part of it. I love this gospel and I love my Heavenly Father.

Love and miss you all lots!
Go Forward With Faith,

Hna Falslev :)
