Miracle Week


This week was a super good week. We had a ton of miracles happen here. We had a super amazing training this Thursday where Elder O. Vincent Haleck came and spoke to us with his wife. At it President A had us all sign a piece of paper that quoted Doctrine and Covenants 4 as being our promise and Mosiah 5:15 as the Lords promise. Right before he had us all sign it, he said that it is going to be placed inside the Florida Fort Lauderdale Temple cornerstone, so our names will be inside the temple with that promise he said until the coming of Christ. It was an amazingly spiritual moment. We were really trying to do everything we could to do to fulfill our purpose this week. One amazing thing that happened is we were driving down the road back to Okeechobee after a baptismal interview, and I had a feeling to see this one lady. We had seen her before, and it had just been a giant struggle about the Book of Mormon being in the Bible or not, so I had o go back because she did not show any desires to do anything before, but felt it again, and I asked my companion if he though we should, and he said sure, so I flipped around and we went and saw her. It started out just about the same way, and then at the end, Elder D started to reason with her about the Book of Mormon and she ended up crying saying that she knew it was the word of God, and I know that it would not have happened if it was not for following that impression. Yesterday I was on an exchange with Elder B in Fort Pierce, and we knocked for a short while, and the first floor we knocked we had no success, and everyone was screaming and cussing, so we decided to move to the next hall over, and we contacted a lady outside that said yes to baptism, and then we met another amazing lady. She was so awesome. She opened up, and it started out the exact same as a role play we had had earlier that day with Elder S, where there was baby crying and she couldn't really talk to us much, but the we prayed with her finally, and she said that she had prayed earlier that morning to hear God's messengers, and we showed up and she knew it was of God and committed to be baptized the 3rd of March. It was a sweet experience. We had so many other amazing things happen, and it was really awesome to see the Lord blessing us this week. I know that the Lord cares for us and loves us. I know he has a plan for each on of us, and wants us to be able to have success in our lives. I know that he will do provide the way as we seek his will. I love you all and thank you all for what you all do, it is really amazing.
