Elder Gandy: Super Missionary

Hello, I'm Elder Gandy, Super Missionary.

That's right, you heard me, Super Missionary.

Why? Cuz I did it, I got my very own baptism yesterday, or dunk, as we missies say. It was a beautiful thing, lemme tell you about it.

Meeting Jolie

Jolie is the very young daughter of Rachel and Mark. Both of whom were really nice, but obviously not prepared for the Lord's true calling, a member of the church.

But they were nice enough to let me teach Jolie, the smartest 8 year old I have ever met. She was a tough sell, as we missionaries say, but well worth it.

The Super Spiritual Experience

My comp and I were visiting Rachel and Mark this past weekend, and while we were there, I bore my testimony super, super hard. It was so hard in fact, that almost everyone was crying, or zoning out, sometimes I can't see so good.

As I was bearing my testimony with a special sauce, I could feel the spirit working inside me, so I just let go and let the spirit talk through me, right to Jolie. In my usual spiritual fashion, I let my eyes roll back into the top of my head, and lifted half of my body off of the ground and put my chest into the air. My arms started to rise up and float next to my body, and I let go.

I let the spirit speak this time. It was truly a gift from God. My voice started to shrill and get higher and higher, and my comp was flicking the lights on and off while I started speaking in my shrill voice:

JOLIEEEEE!!! THOU SHALT BE BAPTIZED INTO MY CHUUUURRRCHH!! THE ONLY TRUEE CHURCH OF GODDDDD!! DO IT OR BE DAMNED BY THE ANGEL WITH THE SWORD OVER YOUR HEAD!!

the spirit was so strong.

Just then, my comp turned the lights off and made a dash to Jolie, where he stood above her and used a flashlight to shine light on his face. He said he was the destroying angel, and if she didn't get baptized, he would take the sword of angel vengeance and visit upon her and her family.

The spirit was really, really strong.

After that, I turned on the lights and saw tears pouring down from Jolies face. She looked at me in my eyes and said, "I'll do it. I'll get baptized."

I knew right then that god answers prayers. Not always on our time table, and maybe not ever in this life, but they are answered. Hard.

Pray for me
