WEEK 84: FAITH TO ENDURE

Ricky Lee's baptism

This past week we were able to see Ricky Lee enter worthily into the Waters of Baptism.  It was a super spiritual program and I feel so blessed that I was a part of it.  I have been in this area for 9 weeks today and all of the lessons that we have had and everything he has learned has gone by super fast. Ricky has gone through so much but because of his strong Faith in the Lord, he was able to endure to Baptism even through all of the hard trials he faced trying to get here.  Ricky reminds me of Moroni, and if everyone were like Ricky then...Alma 48:17.  He has strong faith and has done a complete 180 in the lifestyle he was living and the one he is living now.

Ricky Lee was baptized by Sosaia - his Polynesian fellowshipper

I have a strong testimony that God puts us in the path of those that he wants to help us.  I truly believe I was meant to be an instrument to teach Ricky, because I was able to increase my faith as I saw the changes he has gone through.  After the Baptism I gave him a big hug, and he looked at me and said, "You carried me to this point. You played a huge role in getting me here."

I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the love that the Father has for us.

Love,
