Hermana Luci was
sooooooooo nervous the day of her interview. She had to leave work early
because her blood pressure sky-rocketed—and she doesn’t even suffer from high
blood pressure. Then, when she and her husband and daughter all showed up
together for the interview, and Elder Mills asked who wanted to go first, she
almost shouted, Me. I have never seen her take so much iniciative EVER. When
she came out of the interview she was SO HAPPY she did a little dance. She was
so happy that when we were filling out her paperwork and asked, “What is your
dad’s full name?” she goes, “I only know his first name was Refugio, his last
name—who knows!” And my companion goes, “Well, it would be your last name,
too.” HAHAHA. She s always so reserved, but on Thursday she was all
emotions.
Friday, the day of the
baptism, I woke up at 4 in the morning to go to the bathroom. You know how you
usually feel so much relief to see that it’s not time to get up yet—that you
get to back to sleep? I didn’t. I didn’t want to go back to sleep—I wanted it
to be Friday already! It was like Christmas—the second you wake up
you know it’s Christmas, there’s none of that waking-up grogginess.
Their daughter also got
baptized; the elders have been teaching her because soon after we started
teaching them, she got married and moved out of our area. One night when she
invited her fiancée to listen to the lesson, he whispers to her, “I’m a member
of this church!” Her husband was less-active… not anymore! Now his mom’s coming
back to church, too. It is hard to believe in coincidences anymore. The baptism
was perfect and we love knowing that we promised to find them and because of
the Lord’s hand we kept that promise.
