A miracle

Hi all,

This week went really well!

Wednesday, we had a special fast with Teresa, to help her out. She really had a good experience with it, and when she came to church on Sunday, she seemed a lot happier and less stressed. :) We'll be meeting with her this week, when she's off work.

Another small miracle that happened this week started Last sunday, actually. The sisters got a call from a less-active member in the ward. She'd been working with another family for a short time now, and they wanted to have missionaries come over! They turned out to live in our area, so we got the referral. We were on splits with the zone leaders on Saturday, and so me and Elder Hall went by to try and meet them and invite them to church. Unfortunately, only the husband was home, but we gave him our number. They called back later and set up an appointment for after church on Sunday.

Elder Swoboda and I went by after church, not sure exactly what to expect. We rocked up, and the whole family! came in to sit with us in the front room. Turns out that the mother was a member, and her daughter. They'd been less-active for many years. The daughter's two brothers and her husband weren't members. But the cool part- The daughter's been thinking for a while now, that they all should make church a part of their lives again. They really want their kids to grow up with that kind of standards as well :) Her husband, who used to be catholic, wants to learn about the church as well. We taught them about the restoration, and committed them all to read the book of mormon and to pray about it. They'll be at church this sunday as well! I was so excited about it. 3 new investigators, right there.

So that's my miracle report for this week. It's week four of the transfer already! It's gone rather quickly.

I love you all, and I hope you're all doing well! I heard there was a fire on the mountain again? Wow.
