So I saw a ton of miracles this week, but the biggest
miracle was with a part member family we have been working with, the Pinilla's.
They have been searching for an answer to their prayers to know if the Book of
Mormon is true and they said that they finally found one! They read Jacob 3:1
just after their dog passed away, and they told us how comforting it was to
them. We have prayed and fasted for a miracle like this to happen. I have
a very strong testimony of miracles. I have seen so many that have just left me
in awe and wonder. I don't have a doubt in my mind that this is the true church
and that Jesus Christ is at the head of it. I know that he still works through
people today. I gave a training on how miracles are brought to pass by
faith a few weeks ago. While studying I learned that when we have the faith to
be completely obedient, diligent, and loving, we see miracles. I know that
being obedient will bring miracles throughout my mission. I had a cool thought
this week. As missionaries, we are called to find the canna's and wanna's.
Those who are willing to sacrifice so much and change their lives for Christ. I
think that it is the same way with God toward us. God is trying to find the
canna's and wanna's in members. Those who are willing to be completely obedient
to all of the rules and are faithful enough to see miracles. It is important
that we live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and keep all of his commandments even
when sometimes we don't understand why they are there.
Missionary work is by far the best thing ever. I have come
to love the people here in Conway! Transfers are Tuesday and luckly I'm staying
here! I have made a lot of lifetime friends. Like Jason, I can tell we will be
best buds forever. Jason is an investigator of ours who we have been working
with for a few months. He wants to get baptized super bad, but unfortunately
there are some issues so he won't be able to just yet. He is a stud.
Well I love you all and hope for the best!
