First met this family, a while back when we first came into this miraculous area, called Marsden. This family has had missionaries working with them for the past 12 months. Whereas they have been taught and taught the missionary lessons, numerous amount of times. This young man didn't have a desire to be baptised a while back, and he was not yet prepared, due to other commitments that were on Sunday. But, we were able to continue working with this family for a while. Elder Kenney was transferred and Elder Packer came into the picture. This family was still on our radar to continue to help them move forward. Week after week, followed by month after month, signs of slow progression was being made. First started with the mother whom made her way back to church, whereas she has never set foot in a Chapel since she was 14 yrs of age. She now is in regular attendance. Sunday for this young man came free. His father is not a member of our faith, gave him permission to be baptised only according to his own desires. Which then came with an invitation to be baptised, which he happily said, "YES." We set a date, which was pushed back a week later due to sickness. In his own words, he expressed; "I never expected to feel how I did." This miracle has changed this young man, and now he understands how important this Gospel, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to the world.
