No One is Lost to the Lord
By Elder Doman
Dear President Albright,
We are doing great! Elder Stuart and I had just come out of a teaching
appointment and we were headed to the car when we noticed there was a young
man about 17 years old sitting on the curb waiting for the bus. The thought
entered my mind that I needed to talk to this young man, so I headed over and
struck up a conversation with him. We talked about God and his plan for us, we
talked about religion, and how we could find out which one was God’s true
church. Then he brought up that his mother was getting baptized on Friday into
a church, but he could not remember which church it was. I thought it was very
coincidental that we had a baptism of a woman on Friday so I asked him what his mother’s name
was and he said "Evita! " Wow!! Evita just so happened to be the lady who was getting baptized
into our ward.
The whole time that Evita has been taking the missionary lessons she has been concerned about
wanting her son Jorge to get baptized with her, but the son would never come to the lessons!
None of the missionaries had ever been able to meet him and talk to him. But the Lord put Elder
Stuart and I right where we needed to be so that we could talk to Evita’s son before the baptism
on Friday. We invited him to attend his mothers baptism later that week and he immediately
agreed. He came and loved the baptismal service! Now he wants to come to church. It is a
small miracle, but a miracle nonetheless, and Elder Stuart and I were exited to be a part of that
miracle. God knew where the young man was and that he would respond to the elders invitation
the best. No one is lost to the Lord!
Thanks!
Elder Doman
