Miracle #1. We had
this lesson with this lady in her 50's named R.. She's had a
pretty tough life and has been Less Active for AGESSSS.... she hadn't
even seen missionaries for about 30 years until we knocked on her
door... We then taught her a lesson and she felt like she was worthless
and unworthy of receiving blessings... and we felt prompted to share 3Ne
9:14 "Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. " And she
just began to weep and committed to come back to church for the first
time in forever! It was miracle as!
Miracle #3. We have this Part
Member family here.. The wife is Less Active and the Husband is a
non-member... They are like the most awesome, sweetest family I've met!
They have the cutest little kids as well! So we started teaching the
husband super recently and he's been warming up to us... we were asked
to help them move and right before we got there like an hour earlier..
he dropped this lifting dock from the moving truck onto his foot and
broke his toes! It looked disgusting as! So we went over to see how he
was doing a day later and as we were sitting there we asked if there's
anything we can do... And he goes "Yeah I don't know if you can cause I'm
not a member.. but could you give me a blessing?"... And so we were
happy as, we were like "Yeah of course we can give you one!!" So we
first shared with them this powerful message and then gave him the
blessing.. My companion anointed and I sealed.. And as I was giving the
blessing.. The words just flowed out of my mouth like nothing I'd
experienced before... And at the end of the blessing when we said
'Amen'... He was just in the chair weeping... And I was shocked as
first... cause he looks like this pretty tough guy... but the spirit was
so strong in that room it just went to show that no matter how
macho-guy you are.. the spirit softens peoples hearts! And it was just a
crazy powerful experience!! And right after we left their house both my
companion and I just looked at each other and said "He's gonna get
baptized"...
Miracle
#4. There was this Thai guy named 'P' in the city... He was a referral from one
of our golden investigators. We lost contact with her in
Thailand so we never knew what happened to her.. but P stayed in
Australia and we kept teaching him... as long as N.. like 7 1/2
months.. and he just wasn't progressing and kept dodging appointments..
and he was just that type of guy who was wasting life away doing stupid
things... sleeping, video games, drinking.. and I even remember getting
angry at him one time for cancelling like the 7th time in a row for a
lesson and I yelled at him on the phone (which I shouldn't have).. Then
we dropped him as an investigator afterwards... I just found out today
as well.... HE'S GETTING BAPTIZED IN 2 WEEKS!!!! This experience
especially impacted me because you care so much about your investigators
and you want them to progress so much and sometimes on your own time
and you get frustrated in that sense.... But once again... if you leave
it to the Lord and just love the people... something's bound to happen..
So there's some spiritually uplifting experiences for
you!
