Sister Paige Larsen—Email Excerpt


We had a Zone activity today at the mission home, which took a few hours. I love the mission!

We had a lesson at 11:00 am today, and the spirit was so strong. When we asked Louis, our investigator, how he felt about what we had taught, he touched his heart and said that he felt emotions. He was raised with non-religious parents, and he was illiterate for about half his life. He is a sweetheart.

The fellow we met at the metro station has set a baptismal date for September 4th. Yesterday, when we were only halfway through the baptismal invitation, he was so excited that he interrupted and asked, "When? How many times can I be baptized?" So he picked out a date with the calendar on our cell phone. He loved the iron rod, especially when we explained it.
