Last week we were able to see some incredible miracles!
First off, on Friday we took a member for the first time to a lesson we had
with an investigator. He often tells us that he is too old to
change and he has a hard time making commitments, but the member we brought was
fairly elderly and she told it to him straight! We had a really great lesson,
and for the first time since I have been here he made a commitment to come
to church! When we went on Sunday to let him follow us to the building he told
us that he wouldn't be able to come because he was experiencing some really
nasty neck pain. I still count the experience as a definite miracle however
because we were able to set up another appointment with him, and he told us
that he was planning to come to church next week. It was great!
Another miracle that we had, is that the Relief Society in
our branch really took off with the idea we had of creating a feed the
missionaries calendar. After the calendar made its rounds on Sunday (and with a
bit of prodding from some wonderful sisters) we were told that we had 8 dinner
appointments set up for the week! We are going to capitalize on
these by using the appointments to help the members find ways that they can do
missionary work.
In our last zone meeting I was introduced to a scripture
which may prove to become my favorite for a while! It is D&C 123:17
"Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that
lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to
see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." I love the
imagery here! If we will do all that is in our power (and cheerfully no less :)
we can then sit back an watch the Lord reveal his arm and move heaven and earth
for us. This may not always happen in the way we want or expect it too, but the
Lord will be there to help us!
I appreciate all of your prayers for me!
