Elder Alec Lange: Life is Good!

Life is good! We had a baptism this week. I feel like our work is somewhat picking up. It has been pretty slow lately. We had one investigator that was doing really good and want to join the church but is just afraid of "getting hurt." Her last church just kind of abandoned her and told her she wasnt welcome anymore so she doesnt want that to happen again. She has felt like she needed to join this church for a long time but her family also doesnt support her in it. Anyways she was just doing super good with the lessons and getting to know the members in our church but her husband and her got divorced which meant she needed to move. It was pretty sad to see her move to a new area. She recently has spent about to weeks moving and decided that she was too far away from her kids. She loved our ward and how people treated her so she is finding a house to rent in our area. She is best friends with the Relief Society president. Our RSP goes over to her house and talks with her about a lot of things. She took her to the General Womens Session and takes her to all her classes each week. This week was super cool though. She said she was coming to church, which she hadnt been in two weeks. She showed up late so she sat in the foyer. After sacrament though she came up to the RSP and I and just said like its so good to see you guys! Are you ready to go to class? It touched my heart that day I as I sat in class next to her that she wanted to learn so bad. She was asking us to go to class instead of the other way around. There is a strong love that she has for our ward and a love that our ward has for her. I just felt a super small part of Heavenly Fathers love that he has for each of us. It was so obvious to me at that moment that our Heavenly Father has a huge love for each of us. We are going to try and get her ready to be baptized for April 30!
