Hi all!
Exciting things happening here in Florida. Apparently we have a tropical storm on it's way today. Not quite sure what to expect, but we should be fine. :)
Yolanda was baptized on Saturday! Her son Lorenzo was baptized in February and he was able to baptize her! It was amazing! Lorenzo and his friend Jessica also played a viola and classical guitar duet of How Great Thou Art after the baptism! It was so beautiful. Being able to be there for the baptism and confirmation was so great, but the very best part has been seeing her progression and excitement and growth along the way! She wasn't sure she could quit coffee for good, but we set a solid baptismal date and she did it for herself! She even quit earlier than she said she would because she wanted to make sure she was doing it willingly and not because the time was up for her to do it. She's had so many great heartfelt questions. She has been able to get through so much because she's been learning how to rely more on our Savior. I'm so proud of her and excited for her. I know our Heavenly Father is too! I wish you all could meet her!
One thing I've been really learning and thinking about this week is faith. I think we all go through different periods where we have great faith and other times where our faith is tested. I know that whatever we're going through, if we're doing our best to do what's right that even though we will still be tested, one day we'll be able to look back and see that He did have a plan for us. That things were able to work out for our good. We are on His timing and in His hands. He loves us. Of that I'm sure.
Love you all! Don't forget to turn to Him - today and everyday!
