A Testimony of Fasting
#1- So my companion and I have been working heaps hard in finding new
investigators.. We've really been working with the branch to help them
be missionary minded and make it a #1 priority!.. And along with that
we've been doing our own work in finding, through formers, unknowns,
less actives etc. And so this past Saturday night approaching Fast
Sunday.. we started fasting for the sole purpose to find new
investigators so we can baptize each month.. And we really wanted to be
an example to our zone so we can uplift and motivate them.. So we had
this purpose in mind and we just finished our Personal Study on Sunday
morning.. when our District President calls up and says "Elders.. There
will be 10 women from Vanuatu at church today.. 2 are Returned
Missionaries... 8 are non-members.. prepare a lesson and teach them."...
WHATTTT?!?!?... So we get to church and meet them all and they were
sweet as! They were so humble.. they all left their families so they can
send money back to provide.. So we taught them all a lesson and had
dinner with them later and we are now going to be teaching them this
Wednesday!.. All of them in one time or another have seen or met
missionaries as well!.. So in a way better than we ever could've
accomplished.. It was through MEMBER missionaries who helped us add 8
new investigators in one day! Members are essential in this work..This
is the prime example, when we combine in effort.. miracles happen... And
I already had a testimony of fasting but my goodness.. It just keeps
increasing.. the Lord indeed knows all... and responds to our cry when
we act out of faith.. And when it is needful.
#2-
We were having a lesson with this Less Active member and our
investigator S.. And we were teaching about Light and Truth.. When
you are obedient.. you receive more light and understand more truth..
And we were trying to commit S to be baptized.. so we were trying to
set up a good question.. so we asked.. "What are some things you can
do.. to receive more light?".. The Less Active member said.. 'go to church!'...
ding ding.. there's one answer.. then S goes.. 'I wanna get baptized
man..' #BEAST!!!... Hahaha. So good! So we set a date for him to be
baptized Nov.30th.. the spirit not only works through us.. it works
through investigators so they can blurt random stuff out like that!
haha. And to add onto that gloriousness.. After interviews with our
Mission President.. He bought us all Banana Splits! Yeee-yaaa!
