Hi everyone!
I hope you had a good memorial day! It's the worst as a missionary because NO ONE
is home. ;) Whoever wrote that holidays were a good time
for proselyting never served a mission in the states on Memorial Day. :) But
we still saw some miracles this week.
One of our investigators committed to living the Word of
Wisdom this week. I love her so
much! She is the best and the
sweetest. She said she still hasn’t gotten
her answer to if she should be baptized.
She said that she needs to come to church, so she is going to work on
that. :)
This week has been a mix of things being slow, and then
things being really busy. We had a
missionary blitz in our area this week, with eight sets of missionaries working
in our area, splits with the members, and any proselyting that needs to be done
here. We were stressed putting that all
together, and having things ready for when they came. But the blitz went really well. We put a lot of thought, time, and faith into
it and Heavenly Father definitely blessed us.
We got several referrals, some return appointments, two new
investigators, and ten potential investigators.
:)
Our miracle for yesterday was meeting with a part member
family. The father has been inactive,
and the rest of the family is non-members.
A ward member had asked us to go see them a few weeks ago. We have tried a few times, but weren’t able
to catch them home. We felt like we
ought to try again last night, and they were there, and invited us in! After visiting with them for a while, the
father stopped us in the middle of a sentence and askes us why we came by. We said that we just had felt prompted to put
their family in our plans for the day.
He said that he had been crying and had an hour and a half talk with God
earlier that day, and that he knew it wasn’t coincidence that we were
there. His wife started crying and said
that five years ago after her brother died, the missionaries showed up at the
door and help them through it. They want
us to come back once a week on Sunday night to them a message. What a wonderful miracle!
Thanks for all your support and letters!
Love,
Sister Worthen :)
