Hey Family,
So I just wanted to hurry and write an email explaining what had happened yesterday seriously a miracle! After church I was sitting talking with brother touguira a return missionary that I served with in my last mission. We were just reminiscing about our missions and just how far I’ve come through all I’ve been through and just how far he has come since he’s getting married this Thursday. We then just were talking about life after the mission he was asking me about my plans and stuff and it just got me thinking a lot about that and just how I don’t have a plan really but he was just saying not to worry about it and that the Lord will provide a way and will lighten the way! After that another brother came over and introduced his friend he invited to church and so we got talking. Long story short the kid had talk to missionaries before but it has been a while since he came to church he said he’s already assisted at church over 3 times and has read the bofm and knows that joseph smith is a prophet i was klouike what how is this kid not baptised like he comes to church has a solid testimony what’s holding him back? I just felt like I needed to take him to a room and teach him with the return missionary I was talking with so I followed the prompting and we started the lesson after a super solid lesson on the gospel of jesus christ the spirit was sooooo strong we had just finished talking about faith and the importance of showing the lord we have faith by acting. We then told him the importance of repentance and we read a few scriptures with him just in alma 39:9 and then the brother i was with explained his conversion story that was seriously sooooo powerful!!!!! the spirit was soooo strong he explained his problem with alcohol and how he over came it and stuff and then he said how everyone has something that weakens them and that it is when you recognize this weakness or weaknesses and turn to the lord for strength that the lord blesses you in so many ways i then shared mosiah 18:10 with him and asked the same question that alma asked the lamanites and he then just totally opened up to us and explained his problem he has had with the law of chastity and it was just so powerful i just felt prompted to share 1 cor 10:13 and alma 34:32-35 with him and at the end we committed him to baptism the 29th of this month seriously like the most incredible experience if I hadn’t listened to the spirit we wouldn’t have fixed his baptismal date seriously in looking at this experience i had i know without a doubt in my mind that the lord is in control and that if we humble ourselves enough to follow his will not our propre volonté le seigneur nous bénira vraiment chers frères et sœurs suivent tous les impressions que le seigneur vous donnera et vous ne serez jamais égarés!

Love,
Elder LeBaron
