This week was good. Learning the area and working hard.
Last Tuesday we had zone interviews. Our mission president came and did his regular interview with the zone and gave some training. It was awesome. I learned so much. It just made me pumped to get out there and work. There are so many people being prepared as a witness to that, we found a part member later that night who wants to be baptized. It was so amazing. We are so happy we found him.
Last Wednesday we had many miracles. 2 of them happened within 5 minutes of each other. The first one was when we were contacting a referral, when we got there the guy we were looking for wasn’t there but we were able to talk to his parents and turns out that this guys mom is the only non member of 10 siblings and is related to a stake president and she was asking how to be a member. It was amazing. We were blown away. The Lord provides. Then after we met them we were walking and talked to another guy. He was a member and has kids that aren’t members and we were able to set an appointment, it was so cool. Even though we were punted at the referral we were able to find other people. We took it as, not rejection, but redirection.
Thursday we taught some good lessons and really saw some progression in others.
On Friday we had a meeting at the mission home, I learned so much. The delicious food was really good too. We also were able to teach a member referral when we got home. Members are so necessary for the work. The work needs members to roll forward at the pace we need. I encourage everyone to just try to help one person be prepared to meet the missionaries. We will see miracles by the members efforts.
On Saturday we had a tiring day. We got punted hard but still had some good lessons in the evening that replenished us. It’s so cool to see someone learning and coming unto Christ, helps get rid of the tired feeling.
Sunday was great. We were fasting and felt the power of fasting. We had many people come to church. We were also able to teach other people that members referred. It was a great lesson and this referral's progression has skyrocketed because he has members helping him. We taught other great lessons too. The members are awesome here. They are so supportive of missionary work, helping us and we can see the miracles happening. I hope you all have a great week and I know the Lord will always provide and we can all see miracles in our lives.
