Miracles

Whats up yall!

So this week was really good! We had a couple miracles that I would like to tell you about! Before I do though, I'd like to mention one thing. Weekky Planning with the APs was really good. We have been trying to pick out two formers and two potentials from the Area Book to try by and flog 10 each day, but with the help with the Elder Jean and Elder Schiller, we were able to go through a lot of the old progress records and pick out some formers who either had a baptismal date or had been to church quite a bit. With the help of the spirit guiding us, we chose about 12 people to try by.

Miracle #1 As Elder Patten and I went by this investigator that we havent been able to see for a couple weeks now, we felt impressed to flog 10 the area. As we were going to our bikes after having nobody answer their doors, we stopped to talk to this one guy. His name is Jan and he has just moved here 6 months ago from Newcastle up north. He was being taught by the missionaries up there and tried to get in contact with us down here, but the number he had was the Leeds mission office and so he couldnt find us. He asked us immediately to come and teach him this week! We set up an apointment and got his details. Unfotunately, he had to take his mom to the hospital, but left a note telling us to call him to set up anither appointment for this week. Jan was sooo excited to see us and to have us over to his home.

Miracle #2 Saturday was our first day of trying by the formers that we had picked out from Weekly Planning. We told Heavenly Father the area we were going to be in and asked Him to prepare someone there. We didnt have luck with the former, nor flog 10ing. While talking to everyone on the way to the next former, we met this woman who was waiting at a bus stop with her children. We talked about the Plan of Happiness for her family and how we can learn it from the Book of Mormon. It seemed that with ease, she accepted the book and a return appointment! Her bus came shortly thereafter, but we had just enough time to get her address and a time when we should try by and see her.

Something that I have learned this week from these two experiences is that if you plan with the spirit and ask Heavenly Father to prepare people to be in the planned areas, He will do as we humbly ask. As we show Him faith and do all we can to find them, the Lord will place the elect in our path.

I love this work with all my heart. I know that this is the Lord's work and we need to include Him in it. This past week was a testimony builder for me!
Just a quick shoutout to my dad whos birthday it is tomorrow...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!
