How I became a follower of Yeshua!

Hi, First of all in December 2019, when the outbreak of corona started in China, I became very ill before the actual corona was in Europe. This also has been a very difficult time for about a year, since I had a near death experience and was bedridden for almost a year. I was of a different religion, and started praying to Yeshua, and He heard my prayer that particular night. I feel blessed by Him being besides me, and since then my life had gone upward. When I became better after that year of being in bed, I wanted to do the full immersion Baptism. But corona was still there, and God told me several times I had to go for it, and now I am preparing to get Baptised. And hope it to be this year! Actually 9th of April I hope to do it, so I hope to receive God's blessings. I just want to do this Mikveh for not just salvation, but I want to have the seal of life given by the Lord's grace.
