9/22/2014 I had the greatest birthday ever!

Sunday, September 21st was one of the best days of my mission. This whole week has been wonderful.

     We are still teaching Elpidio. He is 81 and really stuck in his ways, so it is a little difficult teaching him, but he is making progress slowly.  We are going to pray for a miracle that he can get baptized this sunday. the biggest miracle that touched my heart on Sunday when Elpidio had to leave early to move some furniture. One of the ward members came up to him, introduced himself, and offered to help him.  Unconditionally, he left church with Elpidio and helped him move furniture. That may have been the answer that Elpidio needed.

      Robert is progressing so well!  We had some pretty important lessons to teach him and he has so many great questions.  He is a really deep thinker too, but he is super humble. We fasted this week that specifically Robert would be able to find his answer as he attended church this Sunday. After church we texted him to ask how he liked services, and he told us that he had come to church with some doubts, but that one of the talks had really touched him, and his doubts were swept away.  When we received that we knew it was an answer to our fasting and prayer.

    We met a really cool father named Elias this week who has 2 daughters.  He was walking home when we met him.  Just in introducing the lesson, he was touched by the spirit and wanted to come to church. We called him right before church and he told us that he was really disappointed that he couldn't come because he didn't have enough gas or money. We promised him that if he had the faith to come anyways that God would provide a way so that he could pay the bill and have enough gas. He took that leap of faith and came! About an hour or two later he texted us saying that he had received a miracle and was going to be able to pay the bill. 

   These three experiences strengthened my testimony so much this week about prayer, fasting, and miracles. 

   I had a wonderful birthday.

Love,
