I hope you are all having a great week! Our week has been fantastic!
We had a baptism for Kevin this week! I feel bad because Kevin was already on date and had been taught all of the lessons when Elder Hanson and I got to the area so we really only set up the baptism, but I feel so blessed to have been able to help this family, even just a little. They are such a solid family. Kevin has a great support system.
We had quite a few amazing miracles this week. I want to share just one of them. It was close to the end of the day and we had run out of things to do. I started driving home thinking we could just do some planning or something else productive. As we passed this neighborhood, I remembered that we had received a referral for a man that lived there. We had stopped by and talked to this guy twice and each time he set up a return appointment at the door and then wasn't there when we came back.
I figured we had nothing better to do, so we decided to knock. This was yesterday, meaning that it was labor day weekend and they probably wouldn't be home, but we decided to knock anyway. As we knocked, he answered the door and let us in. We ended up talking to him for 45 minutes asking questions and listening. He explained how he had met with missionaries 5 years ago and had been thinking about coming to church lately. He is not a member and his 10 year old daughter is not a member. He said he would want to meet with us so we were able to schedule an actual appointment and get his phone number.
I believe that this event was completely inspired by the Holy Ghost and the promptings it gave to us. When I think of why we should deserve miracles such as these, I think about all the amazing saints who are praying for us every day. There are hundreds of thousands of prayers everyday said on behalf of the missionaries. I firmly believe that we, due to our decisions, have qualified to be apart of these miracles, but those prayers, along with the Love of our Heavenly Father, is the true cause.
Thank you all for your continual prayers and support in behalf of the missionaries. I can feel it. Lives are being blessed because of it. This work could not be done without you.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Francis
