SO this week has been a great and marvelously wonderful week. We saw many miracles. Transfers are coming up! we find out in 2 days if we are being transferred or not! im not sure how I feel about it all. I do and don't want to get transferred! But on to the miracles!
So one day elder lewis and I were going to the train station to go to a part of our area to tract. When the train showed up we were about to get on but I got a prompting we shouldn't. and even though the next train would not come for like 35 min we stayed. We started walking around to figure out why we needed to be there still and we saw a lady sitting on the bench. We went and began to talk to her and we soon found out that she was very new to Christianity and loved it so much. We began to teach her very simply what we believe and it turned into a great discussion. We offered her a Book of Momon and she excepted it. She was genuinely interested and then her train came and she had to rush off before we could get any contact info. We were really mad at ourselves for not giving her a way to contact us. the next day we prayed we would be able to find her again. We went tracting for most of the day and felt inspired to walk down a certain street it was pitch black because there were no street lamps and it was 8:30pm. We were half way down this little alley/street thing and a door opened and someone was letting a friend or something out of their house and then we heard "HEY I KNOW YOU" and we looked over and the lady we had talked to at the train station was right there! We hurried over and began to talk to her and got her phone number and all that! THe Lord led us right to them!
Another miracle is we were out walking one night and we were out in this one suburb when a couple guys saw us and started yelling at us and then came running at us shouting threats and things like that. (im only telling this one because of the great outcome) So we took off running but all of the sudden my companion who weighs maybe a 120 pounds stops and turns around. I was like elder lets go, now! but he just stood there I ran back to him but he wouldn't come. my companion just yelled to them what do you want? and they all stopped yelling and came up to us. I was ready for a fight or something I wasn't really sure all I knew is that these were massive islanders. But my companion just said look we are just missionaries for Jesus Christ we are sorry if we have offended you in any way. And they said ahh man I love Jesus and shook his hand. We started talking to them and 30 min later they hugged us and apologized and went there way! I asked my companion later why he had stopped and he just said I felt it would all be ok. God was protecting us. My companion knew who was protecting him. It was a great lesson to me because I was the whole time preparing to rely on my own strength. But my small thin companion was not afraid. it was a amazing learning experience for me.
Another miracle was we were able to find so many new investigators this week. People are opening their doors to us and are ready to receive the gospel message!
I love being a missionary so much. its such a great experience!
Also our flat is falling apart! water started pouring through the ceiling and our bathroom floor is caveing in! its all rotted underneath the carpet and all this great stuff so we will move out for a week so it can be fixed!
we also got to go to the temple! it was such a great experience!
