Lots of Knocking
This week has been
a really good week. We had a big push in the zone to get 300 blessings as a
zone to break all records here, and it really gave us a lot of fire. We went
out and harvested with a lot of fire, and a lot of enthusiasm, and we saw some
super awesome miracles come from it. By Saturday we already had 28 in
Okeechobee, which was more than was required per companionship, but we knew as
we harvested for at least an hour like we do everyday, that the Lord would bless
us for continuing on in faith. The first door we knocked was awesome. When she
came out we gave her the approach, and she asked us that we pray for her family,
and as my companion said the prayer, we could hear her sobbing. The spirit got
super strong. As soon as we ended she said she didnt know why she was crying,
she just felt so good. I testified of the spirit to her and how she can receive
it through baptism on the 24th, and she said she would be there for sure. She
is so excited for us to come back so she can learn more. We also had an amazing
experience teaching another family. Elder D and I taught the husband of the
family that we had not met yet, and he is even more desirous than his wife. We
came back the next Thursday and we were able to teach the entire family, and the
spirit was so strong there as well. They both expressed that they knew the Book
of Mormon to be the word of God, and could understand more than they ever had
before. The awesome thing is they are married, which seems to be extremely rare
here in Okeechobee. We are so excited for them. We were also able to have some
fun exchanges here where I was able to bring one Elder here, and go and visit
another area. We have had a lot of exchanges here in the past 3 months and it
has been a lot of fun. I love the work that I am able to do here, and the
things that the Lord does here. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and he
has given us and will give us many opportunities to come unto him. I am so
grateful that I am able to see so many miracles and learn how to lean upon the
Lord in my life as I am here. I am so grateful for all the love you all show
me, I love you all for everything you do.
