Just like last 4th of July, we did... nothing. Literally. Haha I'm excited to celebrate next year.
Yesterday we had some investigators come to our church! And it was perfect because everyone
seemed to have born their testimonies on Christ's Atonement and the
spirit was STRONG. It was incredible. 6 investigators came to church! Whaaaaaaaat... Again, Heavenly
Father has been proving to me time and time again that this is HIS work.
I love it. He blessed us with SO many teaching opportunities, and
again, our key indicators have never looked this good--out of my WHOLE
mission. It is amazing. We are finding soooo many people who's hearts
are prepared for the gospel!!!
Like last night, the elders came with us
to teach our investigator J and then it was 7 minutes before curfew
and they asked how many Restoration lessons we taught this week. We
said: "BAHHHHHHHHHHH.........we will tell you after we find someone to
teach within the
next 7 minutes."
1st door: no answer
2nd door: not interested
3rd
door: guy answered, and his friend eventually came and joined in the
convo, and then a very Lutheran girl who drove up came and joined us as
well! (which we found out later her brother is serving a LDS mission in
Ghana!... I completely believe that her brother has been praying for her
to get in contact with the missionaries.) Anyway, we were able to teach
them all the Restoration! MiRaClEs!!!!
Another
cool miracle moment was when we had a meeting with our WML who really
stressed how prompted he felt that we needed to go finding in Altoona.
Which was CRAZY, because in all my weekly plannings for the past couple
of weeks I have had the same promptings of: GO TO ALTOONA. So when he
said that, it solidified that prompting.
Sister L and I went to a
gas station and while she was in the bathroom I looked on the map and
out of all of Altoona I was drawn to 'Petunia St' and then when I was in
the bathroom Sister L was drawn to 'Mum St' Petunia was a street
below Mum. Crazy! So we drove over and we were pleased to see that it
was a TRAILER PARK! YESSSSSSSS. HUMBLE PEOPLE. So we went out tracting,
hardly anyone was home, and we met a few people uninterested, and then
we had literally 5 minutes before we had to leave to our dinner
appointment, and we knocked on one last house and it was a young man who
has recently been
going through a really rough time. We stated who we were, how we were
led to him, and what we were there to share with him. He thought that it
was the neatest thing that God truly led us to him. Because he was only
in Eau Claire for the day and he said that it was exactly what he
needed. We were able to teach him the Restoration and invite him to be
baptized... it was AWESOME. God is too good.
