The Train Miracle.....

Anywhooo, I got some good stories this week and  many many humbling experiences... I'll tell you each one... For the first one I shallst tell you..... DUN DUN DUN... (horror music)....
#1  The Train Miracle..... So I had my first Zone Conference this past Tuesday... we were on our way back to the city on the train... Me and Elder V were talking about a whole bunch of random things the whole way like how we've grown on our missions, miracles we've seen etc... Then we arrived in the city... as we were all getting up to leave I felt impressed to take out a pass along card and I just chucked it on the seat next to me as I was leaving and not really thinking much of it... So we were in Institute later that night... and we got a phone call... but not just any ordinary phone call..... It was some random from Zimbabwe and we were like what the heck?... How'd you get our number?... The he said "I found your card on the train and I started reading the questions and wanted to know more, so I called!" (It was a Temple Pass-Along Card that had questions like - Whats the purpose of life, what is the true nature of God? etc.) And I was like Oh. My. Goodness. And it was just silent.... then he was asking if he could meet us and learn more! So we got his details and referred him to the Elders near him and he was so excited to meet them!.... But it was absolutely insane.. Out of all the ways of contacting people... on the street, tracting, flyers, referrals etc. This guy found the church from a pass along card on the train.....
 #2... Our recent convert brought her friend S to this lunch devotional we have every friday... And we have speakers from the stake or temple presidency talk about how the Gospel blessed their life... so this lady Sister B she straight smashed everybody with her conversion story... and then afterwards... S went up to Brother and Sister B and was asking like.. I don't know if God is there... I don't know if I've ever felt the Spirit before?!... Then Brother B simply replied... " You can't focus on feeling it... if you do... you don't know what to expect... just let it flow naturally and you will feel it"... not even a second later I kid you not... she burst out crying and said she felt so happy being in the church... And then we had a lesson right after and it was BEYOND incredible... the spirit was so strong and we helped her recognize that throughout all the day it was the spirit that she was feeling... So that was super cool to see how the Spirit worked within her...
#3.. I was finding on George Street at World Square and I usually hate finding on this particular corner... because it's super busy and a billion smokers everywhere but I felt prompted to go around there... so I get there and I'm like... hmnn.... who to talk to?.... So I'm like scanning around to see some potentials and then some girl walks up to me and was like "OH OH OH ARE YOU A MISSIONARY?!?!" I was like... Yeah, why's that?.. "I just moved here from Taiwan, I'm a member!!! I've been looking for the church everywhere and I can't find it!!! Where is it?!" So I showed her where it was and then we exchanged numbers if she ever needed any help etc... then left....Then 2 days later I saw here there and she was talking with a member and I overheard him say to her, "Ah well I'm so happy you found the church!!" Then she replied.. "Ah so am I!!... I was praying and praying to meet a missionary so I could find the church and then I met Elder Ball on the street!!" And when I heard that I was like... Oh snap.... hahaha. It was super humbling to be the answer to someones prayer!... And then to connect that back to the prompting I had to go to that corner.... Every single thing happens for a reason.... MIRACLE!.
I gots another story for youuu!... And be sure to pass a part of it on to Tiffany, Taylor, Ashley, Callyn....and whoever else thinks I'm not black.... So this golden investigator we have, she's so super cool!! Like beyond cool! And we were talking and she LOVES America so she keeps asking me about it and what not... then as I was explaining something she stops and is like "WAIT!.... Why do you sound like a black guy...." I was like.... o.O excuse me?... Was I dreaming?... can you please repeat that?.... Then she starts imitating me... like "Yeah you sound like a black person!!! Like... "Yo... come to church dude.... my name is Elder Ball... I'm black!" Hahahah, so good...(so yeah tell them that story).... But whats even awesomer!!... She came to church from 10-3:30.... For the whole 3 hours... then we had a branch lunch after and then a CES Fireside with Jeffrey R. Holland speaking.... and she loved all of it!!.... And right after the fireside finished she looked at me and was like... "I've enjoyed my day so much here!!.... How do I join the church?"..... once again I was like... Excuse me?... Was I dreaming?... Can you please repeat that?... lolz... So I explained baptism to her and what not so dat pretty kooo....
And I am just so humbled to be an instrument in the Lord's hands .There's a talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf that talks about a statue of Jesus Christ in Berlin... it was being moved and the statues hands crumbled... so the sculptor asked do you want me to make another set of hands?... And one of the people said no just leave them be..... Later on that statue of Jesus Christ was set in public somewhere and the quote on it read "This statue has no hands.... because we are God's hands..." And that's the truth... goodness gracious... miracles never cease.
