Hey all!:)
Are you ready for some Kansas miracles??:)
We got a call earlier this week from a recent convert saying she had a
friend from the church she used to attend that she wanted into invite
to meet with missionaries because she was really interested in
blessings. We let this recent convert know that we would love to teach
her friend! So she set up a time for us to go see her on Saturday. We
had a great lesson just getting to know her a little bit and then
teaching her about the restoration of the priesthood and Joseph
smith's experience. We told her that she would be able to know if this
were really true as she read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it
was true. She said she would! But it doesn't end there!
About 45 minutes after our appointment we get a text from Annie, the
investigator. She said she was so glad we came and that she had many
questions for us. The first was "when can I attend service?" We were
like, "TOMORROW!" Ha-ha she continued on with her questions and
then
began commenting on verses that she liked as she was already reading
from the Book of Mormon.
We stopped by her house one more time because she asked for a larger
print Book of Mormon and answered some of her questions. We drove away
to see her sitting in a lawn chair on her porch reading the Book of
Mormon! It was so amazing and we know that she will receive an answer
because she is putting in the effort and truly wants to know.
And the other story I have for today is another huge answer to prayer.
In this area, we find new investigators and have people to teach, our
members come out to teach with us and everything is great! The part we
are missing though is helping people get to church. Who knew it would
be so hard to go to church?! So we have been praying to know how we
can help our investigators come to sacrament meeting. As we planned
for the week we felt like we could get 3 people at sacrament. We knew
if we did our best in inviting and teaching that the lord would help
us reach this goal. When Sunday morning came, we had 3 investigators
who were solid to come and 2 maybe's, but as the prelude music played
we had no one come. As we began the opening song we were sitting
wondering what we could have done better when one of the Ward
missionaries walks into the chapel and comes to sit with us with 3
people I have never seen before.
I leaned over to her and was like "who are these people!?" She said,
"I met them in the parking lot, they had heard that we taught an
English class here and they came to get information because they want
to come. I told them the missionaries taught the class and they would
love to give you more information but we're actually in our meetings
right now. So I asked, would you like to join us and then the
missionaries can talk with you after?" They agreed!:) so this family
from China will be joining us for our English classes!:) the dad has
been here for a couple years and his English is better, but the mom
has been here for 2 years and the daughter only 2 months so they speak
very little.
I know this was an answer to our prayers! We did our best and even
though our investigators chose not to attend, Heavenly Father still
blessed us to be able to accomplish the goal we had set. I know he
knows what is important to us and he will help us to accomplish our
good desires:)
I'm grateful for this week and that I get to be a missionary for this
time in my life:) where else could I be a part of these amazing
miracles!:) I know our Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives
and if we look for his hand we will see it each step of the way:)
All is well and God is good!!
