BOOM! Faith In Yo Face!

 Welllllllllllllllllllllllll for this week!... My goodness it was fair dinkum busy!! So first of all... We were on Trade-offs the WHOLE week... just training up other missionaries. We were trying to find these unknown people on their Ward list and the person wasn't home.. So we went to the neighbors house to see if they knew them... they had no clue.. But we started talking to this lady some more and she opened up saying her 2 children a 17 and 20 year old both died recently... and we were able to teach her right then! And she invited us back to talk some more!! And I was with this pretty new missionary and I told him right before we left the flat.. "Elder... we're gonna find a new investigator today!"... And their area is pretty tough and he kinda looked at me like... "Uh huh.. Elder Ball.. whatever you say." haha. BOOM! Faith in yo face! It was definitely heaven sent that we were directed to that lady's door that morning though.. she had been searching for answers for a while and was actually just thinking about it before we knocked on her door! And then all we had to do was testify of God's perfect plan for us and the Holy Ghost did the rest ;)
I even went with one Elder to this far out place in their area... like 1hr30mins away.. And we went farm tracting!! hahaha it was so legit! There were 5 houses and we banged down each one.. It was the definition of BUSH!... Then after we finished the trade-offs we went down to Sydney for MLC (Mission Leadership Council).. And here's the miraculous part of the week... MLC is ALWAYS from the meridian of times haha... held on Mondays.... this past week was held on a Friday... the following day.. (Saturday)... an investigator was being baptized in which my companion who found her 6 months ago... was able to baptize her! And in that service alone 7 people were baptized! It was miracle as! And then the following morning we woke up on Sunday at 5am and drove all the way back home to Coffs... So the whole week totalled up... We drove the equivalent of driving from Arizona to California... and then driving all the way back haha. It was so fun though we saw heaps of miracles! In which when we arrived at church.. right after it finished there was another baptismal service.. (a child of record) but we were praying to find new investigators and the members brought their Filipino friend who wants to learn with us now! WOO! And the mormon.org referral... She was in Queensland for 2 weeks and she finally got back yesterday... We had a lesson with her and she notices the positive impact we have on her and she wants all her kids to have that as well!! So exciting stuff happening!
