The next morning, September 13, 2011, as Elyssa and Adalynn were pulling into Sharpe Elementary's parking lot before school, Adalynn was talking to her momma about how the devil will try to trick you. Elyssa explained to her that though he might try to trick you, he can never have your heart if your heart belongs to Jesus. Adalynn then told her mommy that she had asked Jesus to come into her heart last night. So Elyssa talked to Adalynn for a minute to make sure she understood what it meant to be saved, and then they prayed together, right there in the car. Elyssa said Adalynn was beaming as they went into school. She told all her teachers and friends at school that she got saved that morning.
In the afternoon, when Adalynn came home from school, she asked me to come into the bedroom with her because she had something very exciting to tell me. She then sat down on my lap, and with a grin spread from ear to ear, she said, "I got saved today!" I am so proud of her and know the Lord is going to use her in a mighty way!
