This past week when we meet with the Zone Leaders and the first
thing they talked about was Mormon 9: 9-13 and 15-20. This conversation
brought the spirit because we were able to look back and ponder on the
week we had. We were able to see the hand of God in our life and
the miracles that He blessed us with. Then we were able to look for the
miracles in the upcoming week. One of those experiences was late Friday
night and we were trying to get in contact with Jess. And at this point
we hadn't made any contact with her in over a month.. so we went over to
her place and at first I saw lights on in her place and but I felt like
we shouldn't knock. Elder Hassinger was really trying to get me to
knock but I wasn't felling it. So we were
walking to another investigator's house and has we were walking I got
the impression to go back and knock. And at this Elder is mad at me
for not knocking and now I had to swallow my pride and go and knock haha
well we knocked and no one answered and I was thinking why did I have
this impression that the Lord want us to go back for nothing. And has we
started to walk way from he house she pulled up. Now that was a miracle
because if we had knocked the first time we totally would have missed
her and if I hadn't listened to the spirit we would have never known the
out come. It was so great to talk to her again and she had told us that
she has the managers spot at were she works and her hours are from 11
am to 9 pm. now we know why we haven't been able to get a hold of her.
The Lord blesses us everyday! but we need to look for His hand in our
life and then thank Him for those blessings and has you do that you will
continue to feel the love that He has for us! I have defiantly felt it
this week and I encourage you to do the same and see the miracles that
come your way!
We also had this cool
experience with a potential investigator we had this week. Her name is
Liz. She first came in contact with a teacher that was out doing fast
offerings. She asked if he was Mormon and then talked about how she
knows a couple and they are really good people. She isn't looking to
join but wanted to know more because she has heard some crazy stuff and
just wants to know first hand. We have meet with her twice since that
visit and she loves us! We were teaching the plan of salvation. During
the lesson she said this sounds so familiar but I don't think I've heard
this anywhere. At that moment we referred her back to the very
beginning of the lesson. and she said, "when you said that everyone on
the earth knew this before coming here. I had a tingling feeling go
through my whole body." We then pointed out that it was the spirit
teaching and testifying that these thing are true. Then several
times afterwards she would tell us whenever she felt those feelings.
That lesson was 2 hours long because she asked so many genuine
questions. That was a great lesson! At the end she said maybe I am
closer to being Mormon then I thought. She is great! the only problem is
her husband... He thinks she is wasting her time and thinks its stupid
that she is meeting with us... We would have to over come that problem
for baptism. I know that the Lord is Preparing people! The Lord's Work
will move Forward.
