The promise in the scriptures of "seek and he shall find, ask and he
shall receive " is so real guys. We asked for miracles and we saw
them! They are truly just a prayer (and of course willingness to act)
away.
One of the cool experiences we had came from an awkward moment. Those
happen a lot as missionaries...let me tell you. We met Caleb while he
was walking his dog, but he walked right past us! So my companion
hollers, after he has already crossed the street, " Wait, what is your
name?" He miraculously ended up turning around and talking with us! He
shared that he had been rejected by a previous church because of his
previous addictions.We got to testify of the atonement of Christ and
how it helps us really change, right there on the street. I love those
experiences.
We also met a woman who said she had lost a lot of her faith and was
wanting to get it back. We starting talking about how how we
strengthened our faith through the restored gospel of Christ, and she
seemed really touched. Then she just bore her soul to us. This is a
situation that happens to us missionaries often . People say: "I do
not know why I am telling you this. I don't even really know you!"
Then we just think, "don't worry this happens a lot. It is the spirit
of Christ!"
We taught our amazing new investigator Ken! We met him out side his
home near the beach. We came back a few days later with Jamie, a
member of the ward here. We found out that he had already read the
materials we gave him and started the Book of Mormon. He said he felt
like God sent us to him to help him gain his faith again. Jamie ended
up being the perfect member too. She bore amazing testimony and
challenged him to keep reading! He is excited to come to church, and
thanked us so much for coming. I am always humbled when people are so
grateful for our message... it really does change lives!
I found out I am being transferred to a new area for my last six
weeks! I am going three hours north to Ellsworth Maine! It is right
next to the famous Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! My new
companion and I will both be brand new in the area, so it is a fresh
start! It'll be exciting!
I am thankful for the amazing love of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is
the only reason I am able to do this great work. We see many hard
things as missionaries, and everyone does in this crazy world we live
in! I love when Christ said : "These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John
16:33. No matter what it may be, nothing of the world can bring us
peace. The world takes and takes but never gives back , yet our Savior
not only gives but gives more than we deserve. I love sharing this
message with those that struggle with the pressures of this world.
Remember the Lord loves you! He knows you, He is guiding you
Much love,
