THIS WONDERFUL LADY was found on the last day of transfers before elder Tribe moved out of the area. As she met with us in the beginning of December she related that she wanted to turn her life around. She didn't want to drink and to feel the social pressure. She just wanted to clean up her life. As she began to read the Book of Mormon and feel of the power of Christ changing her from the inside out she committed to be baptized on the 3rd of January. She worked very hard and resisted the temptation to drink after just a couple visits. She gave up tea and coffee and worked hard to receive answers to prayers. As she read Moroni 7:45 she felt she needed to separate from a boyfriend who was pressuring her to break the Law of Chastity. As she gave up all of her past life she felt a new peace come into her unlike she had ever felt before. She felt that she actually could change and become a new person and that she could be clean again. As we invited her to move her date up to the 31 of December she agreed that it would be a great way to start out the new year and that she really was going to make it. Now her focus is on making it to the temple to help her deceased ancestors receive the same blessings in their lives. How Grateful we are to witness the miracle of change in someone's life. That is the real miracle of the Gospel. What a great way to end the year.
