So this week has been a crazy week. I truly do believe in miracles but before I get to the really good stuff I'll tell you some of the other good stuff for the week. So this week i had some Rich County visitors!! We got a phone call on Thursday from Bill Jackson saying that they were in Cayman and they was wondering if they could stop in and say hi for a few minutes. So of course I said yes. So Lo and Behold i go and get to see Bill and Kelly Jackson and Dan And Donna Peart. haha Fancy seeing them here!! It was a surprise but just the fact the tourists are here all the time makes it make sense. But yes that was a pretty exciting time this week. They seemed great and I told them to send my love home with them and some warm weather.
Ok now for the really exciting crazy most wonderful experience of the week. So on Monday after we email and eat we go back to the house and while i am ironing my clothing we get a phone call. I was only hearing one end of the phone call so I got half the story but to make a long story short we had somebody start taking the lessons from us on Monday and was baptized Friday!!! It truly was the conversion story of the lifetime. So this lady who was baptized name is Pamela Workman. Her husband has been a member of the church for I think 4 years now. They are business people who are like advisers but they are very well off. Mrs. Workman is wheel chair bound and has been on chemo therapy for quite a while. Some members were over there visiting and they issued the challenge to Mrs. Workman to be baptized. They explained a little bit about priesthood authority and she immediately called us and she was determined to be baptized on Saturday at first but later it changed to Friday. We talked to President Hendricks about it and her situation and he said that would be perfectly fine. So we went to teach her and had amazing power house lessons. She basically conducted the lessons with the spirit and her inspired questions. We had soon taught her everything she needed to know within three days and on Thursday she passed her interview with President Hendricks. It truly was one of the most spiritually amazing experience I have ever had. This is truly the Lords work and nothing will stop it. Heavenly Father will continue this work. During the baptism and preparation Satan did everything he could to screw things up. Water Leaks, program issues even to the level of water in the font. What happened during the baptism is Elder Faumui and I carried her into the water in her wheel chair and Mr. Workman performed the baptism. When it was time for her to be baptized we tried different ways of getting her immersed and finally we just picker her up moved the wheel chair and baptized her. It was truly a miracle. She was the happiest little lady in the world. I am so grateful to have been apart of it. The branch has been doing a missionary 40 fast meaning one member a day fasts for 40 days and we are only half way through it and miracles are really happening.
Other than all that this week has been pretty normal haha. I'm loving the mission and am so happy to be here right now. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you next week. Until then make it the best week of your life!!
Love Elder Stuart
