This past week has been wonderful. We witnessed several
awesome miracles, and the Lord has blessed us indeed. Funny thing about
miracles: I never seem to stop being surprised when they happen. You'd think
that sooner or later after seeing so many we'd get desensitized, or they'd stop
impressing us quite as much, and I guess that does happen, but it’s usually
more of a deficiency of gratitude than anything else.
Anyway this past week we had two miracles with referrals and
one miracle new investigator.
Our miracle new investigator's name is C, we met him after
Church when our Ward Mission Leader (Brother S, who is awesome) came running up
to us after church and said for us to come quick because he had someone for us
to meet. That's when he introduced us to C. Turns out C has been coming to
church for a while at different buildings, he has been unofficially
investigating for a long time and some recent challenges in his life have
thrown into sharp contrast the proper order of his priorities. He attended several
other Wards yesterday, and talked to missionaries in all three wards. He was in
Gospel Principles which is where he met our Ward Mission Leader and told him
briefly his story. Anyway, we were able to meet with him after church and get
to know where he is coming from, we shared our testimonies with him of the Church
and of God's hand in everything, we shared some scriptures and he said that he
would be attending Church next week as well, and we set up another meeting for
after church. He seems very humble and very sincere, he said that he is
searching for something, for a place where he belongs, so I think good thinks
are ahead for him.
Both of our miracle referrals were from Missionaries; one
who just left for her mission to Nevada and another who just returned. Turns
out one of the referrals is actually a part member family that we didn't have
on our records, and when we went over to see them they were super friendly and
invited us back for another time.
The other referral we have not been able to contact yet but
it was also truly an unexpected miracle.
That’s cool that we passed the home inspection thingy for
Adult Foster Parenting. It’s also cool that you got released from RS President,
but not so cool that you got sick. Woot! A Stake Primary calling! That’s going
to be awesome!
I love you soooo much too. Sorry my emails have been kinda
weak lately. I keep telling myself I'm going to do better but then I get
distracted.
Anyways! Questions I want to know about home:
Who are the Elders in our Ward right now? How is their
teaching pool?
How are things in politics/the world? I haven’t got an
update on that in a while?
Also a kitchen update would be cool.
How are the Wolfes doing? Is everything going well there or
are they ready to through in the towel and come back to civilized country? : )
Also if you could send me a hard copy of the edited letter
that I wrote for the Sons of... whatchamacallit camp that would be
awesome! :D
The Lord is just and merciful, the work is hard and
miraculous, the Church is true and that's it.
Love ya!
