Oh. My. Miracles.

#1- That investigator we found last week in between the General Conference sessions... so we had a lesson with him this past week..and we're sitting there having a good discussion... Nek minut... His wife walks in and says.. "I watch a TV program about your Mormons and your Polygamy... I don't think it's bad... as long as your treat your wives properly.."... Hahaha. I just laughed and said-" Please.. I don't think many of us could handle one spouse... why would I want 7?".. And we told her that wasn't our church but a branch off of it... And that led her to the perfect question... "So if you profess to be the Church of Jesus Christ... why is there yet ANOTHER branch off of it... WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHURCHES?".... (Cha-Ching)... We were like... welllll if you'd grab a chair we'd love to tell you... Haha. She then sat and listened to our message.... MY GOODNESS!... She accepted every thing soooooo easily... She was raised in Church of England.. didn't agree with it and left.. and ever since has been wondering the question of what happened to prophets... where's the authority.. etc... And they willingly accepted a Book of Mormon and committed to read it!... LEGIT!...

#2- Today... I called up my trainee Elder O... And I was seeing how he was doing (I hadn't talked to him in agessss) And then finally... He said.. "Do you remember A?"... (If you remember a whileeeee back.. she was the golden family in Kariong we tracted into and she was excited to learn more but after a while things fizzled out and we didn't hear from her)... So I replied.. "Of course, why?"... He then told me... "She's getting baptized next month!".... #jawdrop..... WHAT?!?!?.... He then told me all the details of what happened and I was dumbfounded... Time after time after time... The Lord always surprises me... of hearing people that I had found and taught.. then later were baptized... The Lord works in mysterious ways. I am grateful for a loving Father in Heaven.. who pours out His tender mercies upon those who are waiting for them... and for those who thought they were long gone... I now have a solidified testimony... that they are never too far gone... and they will come... Just as Elder Holland says.. "Hope on... keep trying... things will improve..".. with the grace of God.. all things will improve.. 

#3 I will continue with The Asian Invasion.. So get this!.. Obviously starting out in the City on my mission.. It was asian central.. that's who I'm accustomed to teaching.. We've been seeing HEAPS of them here in Coffs Harbour.. but unfortunately they are super hard to talk to.. When you talk to them in the city with 500 people beside you.. it's not that odd... But when you're the only person on the street with them.. They think they're going to get mugged.... So we've been trying to figure out how to talk to them... And so one day we were driving around trying to find these unknown less actives.. Then the impression came to visit this particular one.. I heard my previous companion tell me this family was  not interested... but I felt the need to go there... so after putting the prompting off a bit.. it kept persisting.. So I finally told my companion to turn the car around so we can see the family... We go and knock on the door... NEK MINIT.... A korean answered the door..  WOOOO!.. The family we were looking for had moved 1 month ago and now 7 ASIANS WERE LIVING THERE! We told them who we are and what we do and they invited us to come back!! AND.... the same thing happened to us the next day... we came back to the SAME suburb.. had the SAME prompting to visit another family... and turns out they moved as well and now, like 8 Taiwanese people lived there.. one who we met at the door.. (his name was 'ICE') was a major in philosophy and loved studying about religion... and invited us to come back... Oh. My. Miracles. It was too legit. It's amazing how Heavenly Father works.. I've had so many promptings that amount to nothing to my knowledge... and then there's others that amount to this... 15 new investigators in the course of 2 days.. I've learned with a surety that He gives us these promptings.. some.. to test us to see if he can trust us... and then others with greater promptings of greater consequences in the future.. If we follow the small simple promptings such as 'Talk to that person'.. or 'Give that person a pass along card'... He will absolutely know He can trust us with greater things..
