Incomprehensible Joy

You're not going to believe this!!!! You are not going to believe this! LINDA SUE WAS BAPTIZED!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome. We weren't planning on her being baptized this week. Well, we were, but then we saw her last Monday and felt more comfortable about waiting another week to help her understand the gospel. Plus, her doctors were afraid that she was having another stroke or something and so she had to have a bunch of tests this week to see if she needed to have surgery. Anyways, we decided to postpone. We went over a few days later after her tests to tell her the baptism would have to wait. She said, "No! I don't want to postpone." She was very set on being baptized yesterday. She cancelled a memorial day trip with family just so she could stay home and make the covenants. So we went over the baptismal questions again to make sure she really understood what she was promising. Well, she did amazing! She understood way better than we thought she did. She just had a hard time explaining it back to us. The Spirit helped her and we understood what she was saying. It was awesome. So that happened on Friday. We immediately called President Orgill in the mission presidency to arrange the interview and started making a ton of phone calls to get everything ready for Sunday.

Sunday came and Linda Sue was glowing and so happy. We were really happy too. Sister Wesley and I helped bring her down into the font and then she was baptized. Afterwards she was smiling and said, "I did it! I did it!" Then she received the Holy Ghost. Usually they do it Sacrament Meeting, but we had permission to do it since she might be in the hospital next week. It was beautiful. I was super sick this week, but it all melted away as I watched her shine.

I don't really know what else to say. The Gospel is amazing and she looked so glowy!

Love you all
