Strange Miracles

Hey Everyone,

Well as everyone knows, you see a lot of strange things on your mission. This week we had one of those experiences. We were at home studying in our room when we got a call from the Bishop of our ward. He told us that there was a lady we needed to talk to who was ready to be baptized. Well we went to talk to her and it turns out that she is an older lady who has been attending church pretty regularly for 5 years. We have seen her a few times at church. I guess what happened was that she found the church and knew that it was true. All her kids who are older and out of the house are already members. She never got baptized though becasue she is not married to the man who is essentially her husband and he does not want to get married. Well I guess something happened last week and her boyfriend got arrested for I don't know what and will be in jail for a long time. Well that means shw can get baptized now! Well it is a strange mix of emotions becasue obviously it is hard for her not having her life partner with her, but she knows that the gospel is true and is so grateful to finally be worthy to be baptized. She says she knows she needs to get baptized and has just been waiting for something to happen so that she could. The Lord works in stange ways. We had such a powerful lesson with her and I know that she has a testimony. I am so grateful for this gospel. I know that it is true and I know that it changes lives for the better, no matter what your circumstances were before. Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,
Elder Seibert

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. Down here in Paraguay things are going well. I am loving my new area and, and my companion Elder Castro has a ton of energy, so we are gonna kill it. It has been beyond HOT this past week, like almost 110 with humidity. But we are still out everyday trying to teach people about Jesus Christ. Maybe this will sound obvious to all of you, but I have been thinking about how important it is to share this message we have with everyone we know. The gospel of Jesus Christ and all that he did for us is so important. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have about Jesus, about his plan for me and how I can be like him. As I try harder and harder each day to be like my Savior I can see that it is not easy. He never had it easy as long as he lived and as long as I am trying to be like him it will never get easier. I am so happy to be here in Paraguay and serving the people who live here. Love, Elder Seibert Pics: me saying goodby...
