Mariama's Special Days!

Mariama was baptized Saturday and confirmed yesterday.  She asked Grandpa to 
perform those special ordinances for her.  It was a very special Sat. and Sunday.
One we will not forget and we all felt her Joy!  She gave a talk in Sacrament meeting
and told of the Greatness of our Forgiving and Loving Father in Heaven.
She said we must all have faith and courage to keep the commandments.
She asked me to translate her English into Portuguese for the congregation.
(What experiences we have been blessed with and how humble it makes us when we receive
Heavenly help to do this Missionary work.)

Mariama has been sending me her (incredible) life story
 as she writes her memories, usually a paragraph at a time.
She says she must share this with her daughter and her people someday,
so they will see the Love of our God in taking care of us and showing Himself to us.

There is a scripture in Doctrine and Covenants 18: 13-18 
that best describes how we felt when Mariama shared her testimony with us,
early this morning, when we received the following email from her.

I want to say thanks to God Almighty and for our Lord Jésus Christ who came to this world to save our sins . I also thank God for our prophet Joseph Smith to instole thé Church of latter days saints ,i also believe in thé living prophet. I want express my feeling about my baptism, how i feel, and how greatful i Will always be with sister and elder Benedict, it has been à long time for me searching for church were i CAN find peace and thé way to lead me to my Heavenly Father, now that i find thé way in thé church of Jésus christ of latter days saints and am baptisé i feel gréât and compleat and i also feel pure with my life.

She ends every email with the words 'To be continue' Pure truth!  Life is Good!
