A Week of Miracles

I´ll be waiting on the pics. I can´t wait to see them. A few missionaries here also got word that Skype was ok to use but I didn´t hear about it until afterwards...drat. Mother´s day we will have to do it. ;)

Anyways wow what a powerful week. We just expierenced miracles. The most amazing one was that this week we contacted a woman who has been inactive for 15 years or so and was going to another church. But we gained her confidence and we were able to set up an apt. with her family for the next day, tuesday.

So we got to the apt, not really knowing who was gonna be there nor what we were gonna say. Her husband and 10 year old daughter were there. Anyways so we just introduced ourselves and had them do the same. Wow they just started telling us all the difficulties that they are going through with their older daughters who got married and had kids young. they just feel awful. So we explained the importance of family prayer and reading the scriptures together. and they commited to do so.

The next apt we passed by and the dad wasn´t there so we just talked with Dominga, the mom, and she said she was now very confused as to which church she should go to. We told her that the spirit was trying to touch her heart and if she prayed and asked God he would tell her where to go.

Came back on Saturday and she hadn´t prayed. So we explained to her 1 Nephi 19:36 which explains about the importance of applying the scriptures to ourselves. and then we asked her and her husband if we could kneel in prayer and if she would ask God where to go. So we did. After she ended her prayer we just kneeled there in silence feeling the spirit. It was soooooo strong. wow. After what seemed an eternity but was probably less than 2 minutes, the spirit prompted me to ask her which church she felt like she should go to. She said "I think I should go to the Church of Jesus Christ"....WOAH!!! thank you Heavenly Father!!!

And guess what, Sunday morning, a little late, but in time for sacrament, the whole Flores family shows up in their sunday best and absolutely loved the whole thing!!!

We also should have a baptism this week. Remember how we are living in an investigators house? well one of them wants to get baptized, Yean Carlos. He has had a smaking problem but like we comitted him to quit in a very spiritual lesson about the word of wisdom. He hasn´t smoked since but relapse is always a possibility. He came to church by himself as well.

So as a DL I am in charge of calling the missionaries in my district every night and making sure that they are alright and that their investigators are progressing. And I am in charge of doing all the baptismal interviews for those in my district...yikes!!! Thursday I have my first one!!!!
