some times it takes time to see the fruits of our labors...

What a blessing today i had the opportunity to witness a baptism. And such a special one to me. last week i got a text from kristina saying she would be baptized this sunday and she even asked me to give a talk. I have been so emotional all week as i think and ponder how exciting this is. you may wonder why this is so so so special to me. Dec 26th 2009 i came in contact with kristina in new jersey on my mission. She was a media referral and we got a text message to take her a book of mormon. I had the great privilege of being able to share the gospel with her on my mission and watch her grow. after i came home from my mission she still was not baptized yet but i always knew kristina knew the church was true. a few months after i came home i found out kristina was moving to rancho cali to live with her bf. I was excited for her to live so close to me. Then a few months later i found out they got married and then to be able to witness her baptism today was just so so special to me. I am so grateful i got to be apart of it. it was so funny cause she asked me to give a talk and i was crying so hard at the beginning i couldnt even speak. its amazing how the spirit and really just take over sometimes. Its amazing how things can touch ur heart so deep and just bring that joy that means so so much in life. The gospel is true and im so glad to have it bles my life. I so grateful to see how it can change other peoples lifes as well and make them so so happy.
