Baptism

Today after church there was a baptism. The only way this was possible was because this lady is married to a member of our church who is not a Chinese national. It is amazing how strong you can feel the spirit even if you have no idea what is being said. The entire thing was in Mandarin, so I think I was able to pick out the word today, Jesus Christ and that is it. It still brought me to tears and I felt the spirit so strong all day! A lady was baptized in a make shift font outside the house that we meet at. Again the spirit testified that no matter the circumstances if someone is doing the right they the holy ghost is there to show you and make you feel that it is right! It was an amazing experience. The lady who was baptized could not hold back her tears either.
Before the baptism our sacrament meeting was about missionary work. It was another tear jerker for me. I think I am finally realizing how stupid I have been in not sharing the gospel with those who I love and those I do not love. It is not my place to judge who deserves the gospel. Everyone needs it. There are people here who are interested, but all I can tell them is that I am not allowed to share information about the church with them. One friend has even begged to come to church with us and told us he would fake his passport to get in because he wants to see what we are about.
God may have sent me to China to realize that sharing the gospel is a privilege not something that should be viewed as scary or even that you are a nagging person to do so. I mean look where it got me the one time in my life I was forced to share the gospel. It got me and eternal companion whom I love and great father for my children. (Thanks mom!) I hope that I can remember this lesson my whole life and not think that I am imposing on someone if I want to share my happiness and believes!
