This week we had several different miracles occur with some of our investigators. The first one I will mention happened on Tuesday with one of our main investigators. We went in planning to teach the Word of Wisdom, and up to this point our investigator had been really good at keeping his commitments. As we talked about this commandment he quickly connected to it and said he would live it. The part that was great to hear however was a story he told us. When he first began meeting with us back in January he was apparently smoking and we didn’t know. Over the course of meeting with us though he gave up that habit within the first month and lost all desire to smoke. Over that time period the word of wisdom was never brought up once and when we taught about it he had no real understanding of what it even was. The Spirit is clearly working with him. Then later during the week he came to church for the first time surprising us, and is now seriously considering baptism. I am excited to see where he continues to progress!
One other story I will mention comes from a part member family we are teaching whom are on date for baptism in May (fingers crossed!). The member in the family is the father and he had to go in for a surgery this week. We were able to help rally the ward around them and help them out with all that we could. This resulted with at least their kids coming to church which has been one of our largest hurdles with them. We also learned that the mom got an answer that the Book of Mormon is true, and were able to see the family truly start to progress. It has been small and simple things that have led to these points with both of these families I just discussed, but the end result is true conversion and that is the miracle to watch.
Thanks for all of the support!
