This past week we have had a couple miracles. To start, this past Thursday we had two great lessons. One was with a Jehovah Witness who ended up asking us a lot of questions. The great part is that she really is interested in learning about our church. While talking we had the chance to really show the extreme importance of the Book of Mormon and explain the importance of temples. She seems to understand, and while we have a lot to work through going into the future, it will be a worthwhile ride. One thing is for sure, she definitely has the ability to make sure that I know my scriptures well and that we need to be well prepared.
We also got to teach Nancy again. All day she kept texting us asking interesting questions and telling us that she had a story she wanted to tell us. As we went over she explained that the previous Sunday during the sacrament she prayed and asked if the Book of Mormon was true. As she did that, she went to open the book and it fell straight to a verse in 2 Nephi 30: 6 that the Spirit was able to testify strongly of to her. She is now learning so much so fast. We put her on date, but if I had to guess she will be baptized long before that date with how well she is doing. It is these kind of moments that really define a mission.
We also had exchanges with the zone leaders. It was a good time and we had a knack to keep running into people who were willing to talk too us. One thing I have learned is that if we get into a home of an older person is to be prepared to hear a life story, but it has been fun getting to learn from and see the Spirit work on these people before we even first meet them. At the end of the exchange we had interviews with President Orton that went well.
It has been a great, Spirit led time out here. Miracles are happening and I look forward to continuing to see how the work of the Lord moves forward. Thank you for all of the support!
