We have an investigator named Margie who is planning to get baptized soon. She just needs to be married first. She has been living with her "husband" for 30 years and they have 7 children together, but they just never officially got married. To some it may seem silly at this point to say they need to get married. They have a stable life and family together. But at the same time the Lord has set standards for a reason, and it really does matter to Him whether we are obeying all of his commandments. As we show him that we are willing to submit to his will rather than our own, and to follow what he says no matter what, he is able to bless us immeasurably more than when we disregard the things he has told us to do. Margie is excited! She knows she went about things the wrong way, and she keeps saying how she is just doing everything backwards - family first, then marriage! After they get married, which should be in the next week or two, she will be ready to be baptized!
I wish I could remember more of this week. I know we did a lot, but whenever I sit down at the computer to write everything down, I can't seem to remember anything! The week just flew by so fast that everything seems to be a blur!
Love you all!
Sister Daelemans
