Time after time I am amazed and grateful
at how quickly and abundantly the Lord responds to our righteous fasting and
prayers. Once again He responded as we prayed, fasted, and worked. 14 new
investigators! I know that He wants to prove our faith (through our actions)
before He can bless us. I hope to keep exercising my faith and working hard so
that He can bless this area. We had really neat experiences this week in finding
new investigators. I'm really trying to follow the Spirit and open my mouth and
take advantage of all opportunities. For everything there is a reason. For this,
the Lord really blesses us, but it takes faith every time! We were also bless
with a miracle this week. After sacrament meeting, Bishop called us into his
office with a couple (a less active and non member) who had just gotten married
a few weeks ago. We had visited them on Monday to get to know them and they came to church.
R informed us that she wants to mark a date for her baptism! She has been
taught by the elders since May 2012, but was held back by the marriage. Well, we
marked her baptism for Saturday and are now in the process of making sure that
she's been taught everything and is qualified for this special moment. The
sisters of Ponta da Praia found a very special woman for us as well. She has 4
kids and came to church with two of them. She's really ready to accept the
gospel and is really special. She just has a problem with marriage. We hope to
be worthy of these wonderful blessings the Lord is giving us.
