We received a letter in the mail a month ago and it was from a girl that Dave baptized on his mission in Brazil, over ten years ago. She is currently serving a mission at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. After writing back to her and letting her know we lived in Utah and would love to come see her she replied and was so excited to see Dave again. We met with her at Temple Square (which was approved by her mission president) and she gave us a tour. It was one of the neatest experience I have had. She was so overwhelmed with graitude towards Dave. She was so grateful he had the spirit with him on the mission, that he found her, that he baptised her and that she got to see him again.
She gave us a great tour and discussed the "Proclamation to the World" with us. We were all strongly touched by the spirit.
Dave was very happy to see that she was still a member of the church and that she was now spreading the gospel. Isn't it amazing what can happen when a seed is planted in someone. When we were saying goodbye she wanted to make sure Dave understood how grateful she was. Not only was she blessed with the gospel in her life but it will continue on with her children and their children and so on. She is also spreading it to those she meets at temple square.
What an incredible experience we have had this last month! We love Sister Pacheco and can't wait to see her again.
