Sister Breanne Turpin : Week 78

HELLO FAMILY.

Well, this is it. my 18 months of serving as a full time missionary is coming to an end. W

hat a wonderful experience it has been.

Here is the miracle of the week:
Our zone leaders here are great, we absolutely love them! and they have ALOT of faith. So they decided to have a "faith baptism" this last week. They planned everything out to have a baptism on Saturday the only thing was that they didn't know who was getting baptized. They exercised quite a bit of faith and unfortunately nobody was baptized on Saturday but here is the MIRACLE that happened because of their faith.....

Sister Kikkert and I visited a fairly recent convert family, the Guthries. Well Tonya, the mom, and Kat, the daughter, are both members but the 9 year old son AJ isn't baptized yet. He's been wanting to get baptized for a while but the timing hasn't been right. We visited them last week and talked about the "faith baptism" that the Elders were hoping to have and Tonya goes, "Well let's get AJ baptized!" we were like, "wait, what?!" hahahah. AJ has been to church multiple times and received all the missionary lessons so we decided to plan a baptism for this Saturday. MIRACLES HAPPEN. Even though the Elders "faith baptism" didn't turn out the way that they thought, Heavenly Father had a different plan in mind.

I am forever grateful for the opportunity I have had to represent my Savior Jesus Christ. I love Him. I love this work. It's a beautiful thing that we are able to find ourselves as we are focused on serving those around us. I know that this is Jesus Christ's church. I know that Joseph Smith was called to be the Prophet to restore the plain and precious truths that were lost throughout the years. I am grateful for the Holy Ghost. He is the ultimate teacher of spiritual truth. Everything I have learned on my mission, I have learned from the Spirit. I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON. If you haven't read it, read it. It changes lives. It has changed mine. Heavenly Father is mindful of each of us, He loves us unconditionally. I love that I am able to repent. Repentance is a continual and joyful process. I know that I can repent because of my Savior Jesus Christ.

I LOVE MY MISSION. Thank you to all of you who have made an life-long impact on me. To my past companions, members, investigators, fellow missionaries, I love you. I know that God has placed each of us in each other's paths for a specific reason. You all have helped me grow so much in ways that you will never know. And THANKS to the best support group of family and friends back at home. Y'all are the real MVPs.

see you real soon:)

XOXO
