Pablo was baptized! I
feel so blessed to have seen his conversion process from the start. I remember
the first day we met Pablo. He was broken physically, from his motorcycle
accident, and spiritually from a long stream of very hard trials. I remember
the first day we taught him. He was so sad. He wasn’t sure if God existed, but
he decided to pray and ask God for himself. He received an answer, and since
then has moved forward with unfailing faith. Willing to do whatever it was that
God would have him do.
I remember the first Sunday after
we taught Pablo we got to church and there he was. We asked him how he got
there since he had a cast up his entire leg. He had crutched the almost
mile walk to the church building. From that day on he has never looked back. He
continues to face very hard trials, but he is being healed by the atonement of
Jesus Christ.
Being able to teach
Pablo has been such a testimony builder for me. The atoning power of our Savior
Jesus Christ has no limits. If we can just have faith in him, he will work
miracles in our lives. Maybe we can’t see it right now, but before we know it
we will look back and stand all amazed at the Lord´s grace.
Had you asked me back
in January if I thought Pablo would have been able to overcome all of his
challenges and be baptized, I believe I would have had my doubts. But here we
are. I have learned from this experience to never doubt the power of the
Savior. To expect miracles. To always have faith that the Savior can change any
situation or heart.
I love you guys! Have
a fabulous week! I invite you all to exercise your faith in Christ. To follow
His commandments more completely, then to pray to your Heavenly Father and pray
for strength and for His grace, to pray to become more like His son. I know
your prayers will be answered. Mine have countless times, and I know God loves
all of His children.
Love
Hermana Hansen
