She also let me know that M*, a 97 year-old woman who Noah taught and helped baptize back in August, passed away last Wednesday. She had been a member only two months.
This is what Noah told us about their story:
"F* and M* were baptized and confirmed this week at the ages of 95 and 97.
. . . Last Saturday,
on a whim visit to the N* family, Sister N* introduced them to us
in the back of the house. A million missionaries have been by them.
They had already received the lessons twice. They had been trying for 15
years to get them baptized. They aren't able to attend normal services,
and at my fairly reasonable confidence that in their relatively
decrepit state they weren't breaking the word of wisdom or law of
chastity, we invited them to be baptized. F* accepted. We had to
really work with M*, and it took her seeing her brother getting
baptized to decide, but she accepted too. They were confirmed right
afterwards and partook of the sacrament as baptized members for the
first time yesterday in their home. All in the course of a week. One
week. What a miracle. They are so awesome. I love just talking with
them, and I think they love it too."
We're so grateful that Elder Hickman had the chance to know and teach this sweet Sister!
