That's so cool. There's an Elder in my zone from Meridian, and we talk about the temple there sometimes. Saw some pics of it on the church website as well, looks tan hermoso. Heard that Face to face thing was super good as well, they invited missionaries to it as well, but we didn't go. And okay, little misinterpretation here. I don't get "sad" from thinking about others. I just sometimes wish the mission success was more rapid, but I know God is definitely watching over the work and is carefully setting it up to do great things., even if it is a little slow. Nevertheless, thank you for the story, that's actually a super cool story. And I definitely feel the love from all you guys and especially from God. So thank you for all that.
Speaking of super cool stories, you guys want to hear one?
Okay, so this just happened last night. We had a pretty rough week this last week, we had only taught one other lesson the whole week, and our investigator failed his baptismal interview in the morning (another story). We had been working hard all week long trying to fulfill our goals of new investigators and invitations to baptism and had seen no success. we had also prayed super hard before going out that we would be able to get in at least one more lesson this week and that we could invite at least one person to baptism before the day was over. then with faith filled hearts we got up and we went to work. stopped by the first house and......nothing. the second house and.....nothing. third-nothing, fourth-nothing, talked to a guy on the street-nothing. I think y'all see how the pattern was going. anyways, it got to be like 8:30 at night, and the day ends at 9:00 so we didn't have all that much time left and we went and tried another house of a man we had talked to on the street before. And THEY OPENED THE DOOR!!!!!!- and he wasn't home. So now it was like 8:35 and we went to stop by the last name on our list of potentials for the day, Ruben, a man we had talked to for maybe 5 seconds and he had just told us to come back cause he was on the phone at the time. So we went back. And his wife opened the door. When we asked for him he came out and talked to us. We got talking and we both felt inspired to talk about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even though we had planned to teach him the restoration. So we did, and in a miracle from God, literally at 8:59 y mas q 50 segundos we invited him to be baptized. He didn't say yes, but he definitely didn't say no either, so there is great hope. Cause we still need to teach him everything. Anyways, God answers prayers, even if He waits to the last seconds to do it, He does.
Love you alll!!!!!!!!!!
