This feels way too soon to be writing you again...but we have seen an amazing miracle since then!
"Our investigator, Elijorson, called and asked for a priesthood blessing because he is going through a difficult time. His daughter received a blessing when she was little and he heard the testimony of a member about the blessing he received that opened his heart to the missionaries and the gospel. The member that shared that experience was able to give him the blessing and he fasted to prepare. It was a sweet blessing and Elijorson stayed afterward for a ward activity and loved it. He called us later that night and asked us what he still needs to be taught in order to be baptized. Before this he kept saying that he wants to be baptized someday when he is 100% convinced. He came to church the next morning and stayed for a baptism afterward. He brought his calendar and wanted to know about the lessons we still have to teach and we scheduled out visits. He is planning to be baptized on Feb 2nd with another investigator named Cristina. It is always a testimony to me to see the power of the priesthood in action for those who have faith to work miracles.
Cristina is 12 years old and in a part member family. We had a visit with her Friday night and didn´t get there until REALLY late. She told us that her sisters were at sleepovers with friends and that she chose not to go because of how important our lesson was to her. I got choked up seeing the example that this youth is for me. She has an electric personality, but the gospel means so much to her and she takes it seriously. Would I have done that at her age? I love being able to cross paths with Heavenly Father´s chosen and elect.
We are focusing on visiting less actives and recent converts this week. It is an area that we need to improve upon from this past week.
We had a ward missionary activity last Saturday and the ward leaders that came are such examples to me. We had a spiritual thought in the Bishop´s office and then each took turns praying in a circle before we split up to go contact in the street and knock doors. The faith of the members here is incredible to me. They bring miracles to us every week."
