It has been such a wonderful week full of miracles! Sacrifice definitely brings forth the blessings of Heaven :)
Dawn
was able to be baptized this last Saturday and confirmed yesterday. It
was such a wonderful experience and the spirit was so strong there.
Dawn's son was able to attend and Sister Wilson's (Dawn's best friend
and a less active that is returning to church) sister, brother,
grandson, and neice also attended as well. They are either all non
members or less active so it was so good to have them all there!
We
are not worried about Dawn too much. She has a strong testimony and you
can really see that she loves her Savior. The ward is also really good
at fellowshipping her. They took her right in and have all been so much
help. We are excited to now help Dawn prepare for the temple :)
April
is also doing very well this past week. She has set another date for
baptism (July 11th) and the ward and us are helping her with whatever
she needs. She has not smoked for about 3 or 4 days now and is doing
well and keeping herself busy. We are having a bon fire at the
Thompson's ( This is the family we went to skype for mothers day)
tonight and we are hoping to invite April. We are so excited for April
because literally all she needs to do is quit smoking and be dunked in
that font! The members already love her and she is already taken in.
April reminds me of my sister, Rachel, because she is just so smiley and
goofy. I know she is going to make it :) Please continue to pray for
her because she is so close!
Sister
Kunz and I are doing awesome and have been doing our best to be diligent
and obedient. We fasted for April yesterday and have already seen lots
of miracles from it. I know my Heavenly Father is so aware of me and my
life. He knows everything I am
going through and the things I need specifically for me. I have learned
that all I need to do to receive the help is to just ask. As
long as my desires are in line with his then everything is able to just
fall into place and be taken care of. That is something I am working on
to remember. I just need to learn to truly Trust God. It simply just always goes back to my favorite quote (and Rachel's ) by Elder Jeffrey R.Holland, "Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end.Trust God and believe in good things to come.”
Thank
you all for supporting and cheering me on during this great time in my
life. It definitely isn't an easy thing, probably one of the hardest
things in my life, but I know it will all be worth it. I love you all!
Have a great week.
Love Sister Emily Sarah Eaton
