This week we had two huge miracles. I will just get on with telling about them now.
President McConkie talks about how we need to strive to be spiritual people when we are missionaries, because we are entiltled to that right and that is the only way we will be successful in the Lord's work. I agree... so last Wednesday night we tried out hardest to be led by the Holy Ghost in our planning for the next day. We decided that Thursday we would go to the town hall to look for service opportunities in the city. We planned after that to go to a nearby park to hand out flyers to advertise our concert we are putting on about the Restoration. While there we were talking with an old lady. As we did so, a young lady came up to us and waited to speak with us. Atthe end of the conversation the old lady said she would come! Then we turned to talk to the young lady. She told us that she had moved here recently and everytime she sees missionaries, she tries to see if she recognises them from them teaching her in the past. In this limited visability park in the middle of Prague, she spotted me and recognised my hair. Now, here for the crazy part... she is a girl I taught at the very beginning of my mission in Ostrava!!! Now for the crazier part... when she was taught almost two years ago she wasn't making much progress towards baptism. When we spoke a couple days ago, she said that she has been thinking a lot about baptism and wants to be baptised but has something holding her back. We will be meeting with her on Sunday to talk about it and help her to be baptised!
The other story is the very next day. Thursday evening we were planning and trying to be spiritually in tune. We felt like we should go contacting people at 8 in the morning locally (during our usual study time). The next morning right after breakfast we went streight outside to work. With no conversations with anyone and 10 minutes left in our block of time set apart, we felt prompted to cross the street which was a little out of our way for our path home. We contacted a young man named Tonda. We taught him right there on the street about the restoration and now have another lesson schedualled for today! The miraculous part is that he said that lately he has been wanting to be baptised! We told him that is what we help people do, it so make that covenant with God. We are more than excited for our lesson today.
The Lord's work moves on. The church is true. It is a beautiful thing to be a part of. This seems like a great way to finish a missions, FULL OF MIRACLES!!!
Nepřestávejte vyměnit strach vírou! Vytrvejte!
