Best Christmas Present EVER!

This week was seriously fair dinkum aussie!... aka sweet as. We did a TON of teaching and found a TON of new investigators... To put it in short we saw miracles for days!.. We went from our area being pretty close to dead... to setting 4 baptismal dates this week alone!... It was INSANE!... And I found a Brazilian!!!!!... It's been my goal to baptize a Brazilian on my mission hahah, and he came in for a lesson and is keen as!.. He's gonna get baptized for sure. But really the most craziest thing was when we went on trade offs with the assistants... I went with Elder U..  He is seriously the definition of a machine.... And he shared an experience where him and his companion made a promise to the Lord.... They weren't going to care about food, sleep, or anything.. They were just going to dedicate their time to work... And he said it was seriously the most borderline thing between hard working and just absolutely crazy... And they set a pretty high baptismal goal for the next 3 months.... and at the end of that 3 months they had achieved it all except 1... And they were pretty pumped but they still knew this goal was inspired of God... And the week before reporting ended... one of their investigators ran out of Sacrament meeting crying.... and they got a text a little later saying "I felt the spirit so strong.. can I be baptized next Saturday?"... And so she was baptized and they reached their goal for baptisms in that 3 months!... And he said "I could honestly tell you Elder Ball... I couldn't of gave any more in that time than what I gave.."... And then he asked me to think about a question but I want to change it a little.... "At the end of my mission... How do I want to account to God?"... And think of that question as you read Alma 26.... This is Alma's homecoming talk after his 13 year mission.... So that definitely boosted me up another gear to work harder.
At the beginning of my mission maybe when I was out like 3 months.. I was having trouble finding.. like I could get phone numbers from people easy... but finding solid people was hard.... So I prayed real hard one night... and the next day I found this Chinese guy named L.... who will be getting baptized this week!!!! Best Christmas present EVER!... And then that same week I found this Japanese girl named N.. she was for real hard hearted hahaha... Like she straight up told us she didn't want to learn about God at first... but then she started opening up about her past and how her grandma died recently... and she wanted to know where she was now.... And so then she softened up to learn about the gospel which is miracle as!!... And something even cooler... my Zone Leader Elder H.. in his Patriarchal Blessing it says he will serve in his native tongue.... yet on his mission he barely has spoken Japanese... and so now he sees it being fulfilled.... and so he'll be teaching her now and I'm sure she'll get baptized soon :D... MIRACLES!
