On this Day of Joy and Gladness... !

 



 
Well this week has been wonderful we saw miracles, and those followed by other miracles. We had a day of "Joy and Gladness".   On Saturday Deanna was Baptized and Confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! We had a wonderful service.  The majority of the people that were there were her family and good friends and despite Stake Conference and all the meetings on Saturday, we had a Great turnout from the ward!
Included are some pictures of that and also of a squirrel outside our house :)
The turn out was great but NO ONE knew the songs she wanted to sing "On this Day of Joy and Gladness" and that was super awkward... Oh well it all turned out in the End!
We also had J** F. at the Baptism Hehehe it was kinda funny and kinda sad he didn't realize that we as missionaries have the Priesthood of God... He thought only the prophet or the bishop had it :) he had a big surprise when he saw Elder Garner in all white to perform the Baptism! We are SUPER excited to continue "blowing his mind", said by Elder Garner. Oh he also got a job. :)
An even bigger miracle Deanna's husband, Jeffrey, offered to take them all to church on Sunday, unfortunately that didn't work out in the end, but he may be starting to become interested PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS HEART SOFTENED THE REST OF THE WAY!
We are now on cloud NINE and still climbing.  Our Ward Mission Leader won't let us come down and rest.  He EXPECTS the best from us now!! And we are rising to the challenge and we are seeing all of our areas and us change!
Life is going great a new investigator is L**a she is a SUPER AMAZING African American we got referred to us from the other elders in our ward. She has 3 kids 6, 4, and 2 and they are all super CRAZY but she is actually super excited about the Gospel!
Have a good one,
Elder Daniel Keeley
