February 14, 2011

So this past week has been really uneventful.

I don't even remember most of this past week so I'm sorry. I do remember being allowed to go on to mormon.org and to get familiar with it. I actually made a profile that people can go look at. Mom will be putting the link on my blog so that you all can go to it. It's really cool! I strongly suggest going to mormon.org and looking at it. There are so many different things on there and so many different people it's amazing!

For instance, Rob Morris (I think that's his name), who played for the Colts when they won the superbowl a little while ago, is a Mormon. He has a video on there about him. Also, the official sculptor for the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company, yep, he's a mormon too. He's on there. And there are many other people on there who are normal people. It's really cool.

So, I lied, I do remember more of this past week. There has been a miracle happen here and I forgot to tell y'all about it.

So, sit back and buckle up!

About a week and a half ago, we were talking to our district leader and we told him we were going to go find like three new investigators. He then told us their names would be Jimmy, Jessica, and Terrance. So we set to work looking for those people in our area books. We found this lady named Jesse Baugh and we went and saw her. Just hours before we got there, she had got a book in the mail from a high school friend who lives in Utah that she hadn't seen in about 50 years. The book was called "Reflections of Christ" by Mark Mabry. Well, we talked to her and said could we come back. She told us she's going in for a three day surgery from the 21st to the 23rd. The next day she called us up and said, I don't believe in coincidences, can I get another copy of the Book of Mormon, I lost mine. So then a few days later we get a call from her friend in Utah, Sis. Jewel Queensberry. She wanted to hear our side of the story. So we told her. Then we asked her about how there are two Queensberrys out here in our area. Turns out she's their mom, and also sister to Sister Phyllis Roark and Sister Charlotte Watts. Her boys are both less-active and one of them has a boy who hasn't been baptized yet that we've been trying to work with.
So, we talked about that and she told us all about her two boys that are out here. Meanwhile, we've been talking with Sis. Baugh about how she's doing a lot better since we started meeting with her. We gave her a blessing last week and she called us today and said ever since that blessing she's been able to let go of the people who hurt her and to forget her grudges.

And that all came from our district leader being inspired enough to give us the right name of the person we needed to see that day.

Talk about mysterious ways....

Next week, I'll tell you about the Sudan miracle. You won't believe it when you read it.
