So i will start off with our miracle day. Our miracle day was on thursday. And it was crazy awesome. So we went out at ten right after companion study to do some finding (we call it miracle time). And as we were walking we heard a pop noise and this tour buses tyre (thats how they spell tire here) blew out. So he pulled over and everyone got out and just walked away except for a couple of the asians and the bus driver who was also a small asian man. I looked at my companion and nodded my head towards them and he was like sure. So we went over and offered our help. We assumed he said yes and began to find where the jack was and all that. So we got it and first off did the rookie mistake of jacking it up first (which took us like 20 min because of the angle and all that) and then going to loosen the lug nuts off. We reealized quickly we had to lower it back down first haha, anyways we could not get them off i was jumping on the bar thing kicking it but they were just way on there. It was funny though because the asians that had stayed were like cheerleaders they were yelling and oooohing and ahhhing haha. It almost reminded me of ninja warrior like the commentator guys haha. So we helped him call a company and apoligized that we couldnt do more and carried on. but i think we were blessed for the attempted service if anything it set the mood for the rest of our day.
SO the first miracle has to be Dawn. She is from the cook islands. We saw her walking and just kinda went up and walked with her and began to talk. She said she had a friend that had just left on his mission and she was curious of what it was. So we began talking about what we do and we asked if she would be interested in sitting with us some time and learning more. She said yes definetly! So we asked for her number and she was like ohhh my phone is dead. so in my mind i was thinking she may not actually want to learn and all that and then she said lets walk down to the apple store and i will charge it so i can give you my number. So we went down and eventually got her number. We texted her that night and she asked if we could meet the next morning so we set up a appointment and met with her. We taught the restoration and it was so awesome. Not that our teaching was awesome but she had been so prepared. She soaked it all in and we had given her a pamphlet and she pulled itout and had marked it and taken notes and she asked for a book of mormon before we even brought it up because she wanted to read it and pray about it. She asked about Joseph Smith and the book of mormon. I told her i knew they were true and she said how. And so i bore my testimony on Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. Then my companion did and she looked at us and said wow thats awesome. She said that she believes this. So we asked her to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized. And she said yes that she would love to. So we began to talk later about what she had thought when we first walked up to her and this is what she said. She said she had been praying for a couple weeks for God to show her which church was true she said she had been trying them all out and just didnt know and that none of them felt right. Then we had started talking to her. She said that after we had left all she wanted to do was meet us again. she was so excited to learn more and had felt like this was the answer to her prayer. She said that she felt like this was true and this was the one for her. After the lesson we gave her a chapter to read in the Book of Mormon. We gave her alma chapter 32 and a hour later she texted us and she had already read it and taken notes and she loved it! she said she loved how it testified of Christ and helped her with her faith. We also had left her with a plan of salvation pamphlet for our next lesson and she texted us last night and said that it was exactly what she needed and was bringing so much comfort into her life. We are seeing her in 2 hours actually for another lesson and we are going to set her on date to be baptixed for august 1st.
The other miracles were we were able to find 3 new investigators that day and we had a deal thingy going that if we find 3 new investigators in one day we get to buy ourselves ben and jerys ice cream which is super expensive here. like 6 bucks for 5 bites haha so we just went with a big tub of low quality stuff.
im just loving my mission and i couldnt be happier. I know this church is the true church of God on the earth today. I know the Book of Mormon is true with all my heart and i know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I know our Savior lives. I know angels still administer to us in this day. I know the heavens arent closed. Nothing in this world can or will shake me from this testimony. He lives.
this is the only picture i have this week, its from fhe last monday. They couldnt move eachothers arms for like 10 min. then they just gave up haha
Love you all,
Elder White
