7-9-12 Baptism of Maria José

Dear Family, Well, I will tell you about our baptism last week. We prayed at the beggining of the week of who should be baptized, and we felt this woman named Maria José. She and her husband have been investigators for a long time, almost two years, but no one had ever gotten them baptized. So, we go there and we teach and we invite them to pray about the Church to know itf it is true and if they needed to be baptized. So, we set up another appoinment and went back and they had prayed, but the husband António said he prayed and got an answer that he was already baptized and that he wouldn´t do it again, then he just walked out of the house and left. So, we talked to Maria josé and she had prayed too, but she had felt that the Church was true, and eventhough it would cause conflicts in home and she didn´t know how she would religiously educate her two daughters, she felt like she needed to be baptized. So, we came back and she passed the baptismal interview and she was baptized. It was amazing, we marked her for baptism on a Friday and she was baptized on Sunday. It is amazing how the Spirit works to touch people´s hearts and prepare them for the Gospel. It was amazing to be apart of that process and see the great faith that she in Christ to make all of theose changes in her life. And yesterday I gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost, my first time, and it was very cool. The Spirit was so strong. I thank you guys for all that you so for me and for all the support. I love and miss you guys a lot. Love, Elder Spencer Jensen
