Jason Johnson's Baptism

I'm so grateful for this opportunity that I have to be one of the Lords servants here in the Tennessee Nashville Mission. I enjoy and cherish each opportunity I have to teach someone the gospel. Recently I had the opportunity to witness the baptism of Jason Johnson. When I first met Jason Johnson, when I was transferred to Clarksville, he had been taking the missionary discussions but wasn't really interested in baptism at that point. As we continued teaching him he slowly became more interested in baptism, as we taught him and he learned more about it. We invited Jason to have a kneeling prayer after one of our lessons and we invited him to say the prayer. We had him ask Heavenly Father right then if baptism is what he was supose to do and if the church was true. Even though Jason said an amazing prayer and the spirit was so strong during the prayer Jason still said no to baptism. That's not really what a missionary likes to hear. We decided to give him somemore time to think about it. About a week after we had the kneeling prayer with Jason he sent us a text message saying that he was ready to set up his baptism. We were grateful for this text message. We went to his house the next day to set up his baptism and everything. He told us what helped him make his decision. He was visiting his girlfriends family in Chattanooga one day and he was visiting with his girlfriends uncle. He was talking to Jason about baptism and he told Jason that he had a great spirit about him and that he just needed to get baptized. Jason thought about that really hard and he sat there and wondered "what am I waiting for?" that's when he sent us the text saying that he was ready to get baptized. God works in mysterious ways and Jason was baptized on the 25 June 2011.
