And they would not depart from it

3 Nephi 6

I've been thinking a LOT about this little precious person in my life...

 Wang Pei Yu.
Here she is at her baptism. She invited all her non-member friends.

Love, love, love her. Yep, yep, yep I do....to PIECES.

She is an amazing person that I met and taught while serving a mission in Taiwan. She was hesitant to join the church. Until she really knew of its truthfulness. Then there was no turning back. I won't forget the day she said "Yes" to baptism. It was the most spiritual experience I've ever had. The most powerful direct answer to prayer that I've ever witnessed.

I keep in touch with Pei Yu (she also goes by Catherine). She is now married and is expecting her first child. Married in the temple, that is. To an amazing man.

And I wonder what life would have been like for her without this gospel.
And I realize how poignant her joining the church was.
And I feel ever grateful to have been a witness to her conversion miracle.

This verse sums up how Pei Yu is...and continues to be.

"...and (she was) converted unto the true faith; and (she) would not depart from it, for (she was) firm, and steadfast, and immovable, willing with all diligence to keep the commandments of the Lord".
-3 Nephi 6: 14

She makes me ever grateful for the simple phrase..."not departing from it".
Does she even know how much SHE is teaching me now as I struggle to remain faithful and strive to keep my covenants? Does she even realize how much she has blessed my life?

Love her.
