Baptism of Sister Su

In my second area of my mission, my companion and I felt prompted to go tracting in a certain area our first day together. With the third door we knocked on, an older man named Paul let us in and offered to let us come back. After we left, he told his wife, Sister Su, that some messengers of God were coming back and she should listen. Sister Su immediately came to feel the truthfulness of our message, and it was tender to watch her testimony grow and help her through trials over the next several months. However, she came to believe that difficulties in her personal situation would make baptism impossible, and I was especially heartbroken.

A few weeks ago, a joyful surprise came out of the blue and I got an email from someone in Taiwan informing me that she was getting baptized! Below is a picture of her and her husband (and yes I did lose my tag that day).
She sent me an email saying how grateful she was for my efforts with her, and told me that after she was baptized, part of the testimony she bore was what I used to tell her that "procrastinating obedience is equal to procrastinating receiving blessings". She voiced her regret about not being obedient sooner. Her baptism means a lot to me, fulfilling all those pangs of hope I have sometimes had over the past 2 years that she would someday receive the blessings waiting for her.

Anyways, reflections about Sister Su have been on my mind a lot recently, and I thought I would share the good news.


We also just got back from California with the family. Although the sun didn't shine as much as usual, the beach was still fun and so was family. Sharon was a trooper camping with Enoch all week. A few pictures:
