This week was great. We saw miracles. Had a baptism and were able to serve lots of people.
Last Tuesday we had district meeting, then after we went to this great investigator’s home. We had a powerful lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ, It was great. This man is so awesome. He keeps commitments and just does whats right. Later that night we were on our way home and this guy smiled at us so we talked to him and turns out that he has a ton of siblings and one of them is Mormon and he’s interested to listen and learn about the church. Such a small thing but a great tender mercy.
On Wednesday we had district service. The whole district came and we helped some investigators move from the first floor to the second floor. We carried some very heavy stuff in very narrow places. haha Where there's a will there's a way. It’s more fun in the Philippines. It was great service and then they bought us KFC, so that rocked haha. I had exchanges after our service with elder Stokes. He’s from Orem too. He went to Mountain View H.S. He’s a great guy, cool to talk with someone from Orem. We had a fire lesson with a really progressing family about recieving revelation through the Holy Ghost. We taught a great lesson to a recent convert. It’s such a good feeling to see recent converts progressing in the gospel! They’re preparing to go to the temple!!!
On Thursday we had some answers to some prayers. We were able to find some new people. We had a member referral that we were able to contact (more like finally able to find his house haha) and he's awesome. In the evening we found a great new investigator that is now living with some members. We saw progression of other investigators. It was a great day. It was a testimony building day because that morning I had studied about Nephi and him building a ship. He said that if the Lord could do miracles in the past then He was able to help Nephi build a ship. So I thought if the Lord can help Nephi build a ship and do miracles, then he can help us find new investigators and it was true. The Lord answers prayers and helps us.
On Friday we were able to teach the fire family again about the book of Mormon and teach other recent converts about the temple.
Saturday we had a baptism!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing. Marvin is his name. Marvin is so awesome. He is so fire and his testimony is great. It's been so great teaching him and knowing him. I am so happy he was baptized. It was a great program. Many members came and supported him. I'm very excited for him. The water was kinda shallow but it worked out. His fellow shipper baptized him. Then after the baptism we taught some less actives and found a new part member family. It was a wonderful day.
On Sunday we got kinda punted in the afternoon when we started going around. We were able to give a blessing to one member and went to a ton of people but they were all asleep. It was very very hot and we were exhausted and then we had a great lesson with the family we are teaching and it made it all worth it. We brought members to the lesson and it was perfect. Their experience and testimonies were so awesome. I'm so excited for this family. Miracles are really happening.
This week was great. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Remember that the Lord can and will help us in our lives. If he can help Nephi build a boat then he can help us in whatever we need.
