Mummy and Daddy,
What to tell you? What to tell you? Can I just say that this is the coolest thing I've ever done. Truth. Why haven't I ALWAYS been doing this?!??!?! There have been so many countless people that have been put in our path. We're praying roughly 36 times a day for people to teach ( I may or may not have been keeping a tally ) and the Lord sends us people to teach within moments of our prayers!! This week alone we invited six people to be baptized and we scheduled three of them...two of which were in the same day! What the heck!!! Our district leader asks us each night, "Are you in safe? Did you talk to everyone?" and instead of asking "DID you invite anyone to be baptized?" he asks, "HOW MANY people did you invite today to be baptized?" Apparently we're the leading companionship in the zone, and that just proves to me how incredible the Lord is. This is HIS work. I don't have a clue how to be a missionary, but I plead for Him to help me and magically we find these golden people, who just happen to be searching for a local church, who just happen to have a love for the Savior, and who magically feel the influence of the Holy Ghost telling them that what we teach is true. People, these are not mere coincidences!!! THESE ARE MIRACLES, and I get to be a part of it. How cool is that! :D
A few days ago, we prayed, yet again, to find someone who is in desperate need of the gospel. BAM! A car parked next to us, a man got out of the car, we introduced ourselves, he leaned up against the "bonnet" of his car and said, "Alright, I'm listening." This man's name is Marc. He's a pirate....minus the peg leg and parrot. Hello world, I met a pirate....I should put that on the Life List so I can cross it off. We chatted for quite some time about eternal families and God being our Heavenly Father. We set up another appointment and went on our merry way. We went to his flat the next day.....he "flogged".....no one home! BLAST! However, the following morning, we received a telephone call as we were heading out to street contact. It was Marc!!!!! He asked us if we had any free time. In about five seconds we were knocking at his door! We went out into the "garden" and chatted about his life. Long story short, he's gone through a lot, and he's currently fighting for custody of his little daughter. We invited him to be baptized. He knew it was what he needed to do. SO COOL! No one calls us.....except the nappy elders!!!!!! This never happens!!! BAM! MIRACLE! NEXT!
I yelled, "What can I say? The church is TRUE!" BAM! MIRACLE! NEXT!
