Fantastic news!! Allison got baptized on Saturday! Her baptism was one of the most beautiful baptisms that I have ever been to! The spirit was so strong! She ended up getting baptized three times because her hair kept floating up. Afterwards she said it was okay because she needed to be baptized for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Then we all stood in the bathroom hugging and crying!
Sunday she got the gift of the Holy Ghost and will be getting a church calling pretty soon. We also are planning a baby blessing for Andrew!
So a couple days ago Allison told me the story of the day we found her. She had been struggling with trying to be a single mom and she just didn't know where to turn. She missed going to church and having God in he life but wasn't sure how to refocus herself. She remembered that some sister missionaries were living above her but they had moved and she didn't know where to find them. She ended up praying and asking Heavenly Father for help. A few minutes later, Hermana Juarez and I knocked on her door. We had not originally planned to knock doors in that area but because we were running late thats where we ended up.
Timing is everything! Heavenly Father purposely puts things in your path so that you will be there when He needs you! Allison needed us, so God sent us to her!
We are still working with Victor and he is doing wonderful! He loves to read the Book of Mormon and has downloaded the gospel library app! Because of his word of wisdom problem he has been going to an lds addiction recovery program and he has improved so much!! The gospel really changes lives.
I love you all have an awesome week!
Love, Sister Howard
