We have been teaching this great man for a couple of months now. He was found by Elders Rose and Gobeil-Velasquez and we had the opportunity to continue teaching him...He has been a golden investigator, but he didn't want to agree on getting baptised until he received his own witness.... Well one lesson we encouraged him to make a leap of faith...he's a big fan of hang gliding, and he's the kind of guy where he will talk if you let him! During one of his spiels we felt prompted to ask him what did he feel like he had accomplished so far with the lessons...he said that he felt like he had been doing everything that the Lord had asked of him....we then testified to him that everything up to that point was just preparation to make that leap...you can prepare as much as you like but the time has to come where you need to make your leap off the cliff, or figuratively speaking, a leap of faith, to enter in the waters of baptism....to trust that the Lord has his best interests at heart, to know that he's done all that he can, and that the Lord will catch him and make up the rest!
When we shared this with him, he couldn't eat or sleep for 2 days because that phrase was stuck in his head, and then just after Christmas Zone conference he called us up saying that he wanted to make that leap of faith, and to be baptised....that was a great miracle! He knows that he has made the right decision because he has made that leap of faith... because when the time for decision arrives, the time for preparation is past... Take a look at this great convert baptism...he's never been so happy!!
Loves from Elders Fa'alogo and Blinkov!
