Hello Everybody!
This week was amazing - we saw so many miracles this week as we tried to find people to teach. It really helped me build my faith. I'll share just one miracle that we had on Wednesday night...
We had received a referral for somebody who had visited mormon.org and asked for a bible to be delivered to them (we, as missionaries, go and deliver the Bible to them). Elder Willets thought that he knew which apartment this person was in, so we drive into this apartment complex and then realize that we're on the wrong side of town. The lady we were supposed to give the Bible to lives about 3 miles northeast. Whoops.
But we both felt like there was a reason why we were there, so we prayed and asked for help finding the person we were supposed to talk with. There was a light on in one of the apartment buildings, and we both felt like we should go see who was there. We knock on the door and an amazing older man opens the door and invites us inside. He tells us that he's served as a pastor for 20 years - in Georgia and in Florida, and was looking for something that he felt was missing from the Bible. So when we shared our message about the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the Book of Mormon, he was super excited! He's now on track for being baptized at the beginning of April. It was just a really neat miracle to see that God uses us and that, everywhere we are, there's a purpose for us being there.
We got home from dinner last night around 7:00 and were just getting ready to bike out to the appointment we had that night when we hear lots of police sirens in our complex. We step outside and there's a helicopter flying over our complex with a searchlight shining around. Both of us got a super bad feeling and basically just booked it back inside and waited for half an hour while cops ran around our complex and the helicopter stayed searching around. Kind of creepy? Yeah maybe a little bit.
Love you all! Stay warm :)
