Well, we got to hike Lion's Rock last week with our
investigator who will definitely be getting baptized. We may have to push his
date back a little bit for word of wisdom's sake, but he said that he shouldn't
have any problem giving it up. I love it when the spirit works like that. Makes
everything easier and much more lastingly effective.
Tuesday was a day of a slightly awesome MIRACLE. It was a Tuesday afternoon. We were finding because we weren't able to schedule very many
investigators last week for this week. We found an estate that we realized was
the home of a few less actives. No one would be home though...
Spirit told us to go in anyways. We went to a couple of
different floors without any success. We almost couldn't find the last one
because it was just tucked in a random corner. Then we almost left after
knocking a couple of times. We almost left multiple times. We were on our way
away from the door when we heard it OPEN! We bolted back and greeted him. He
let us in and he was super nice. His family is awesome. We only met his wife
that day (not a member yet), but he's only not been coming to church because
his job is super hard and super complicated hours because he's a chef (chefs in
Hong Kong have to be at work for about 14-17 hours for five to seven days a
week. He said that the busy season was almost over (don't know what that means,
but great!) and that he and his son would be coming to church in a couple of
weeks. Hopefully we can convince his wife to come to.
Hugo, the one who calls himself "Handsome" for his
English name, is almost to the reactivated stage now. I LOVE that kid. He's
reading his scriptures more often and enjoys church more now. His mom is
happier than ever. I'm so glad to be able to witness God acting in their lives.
The only other thing is a former investigator that is
agreeing to start meeting with the missionaries again. I won't disclose his
name, but he is having some really big struggles. His wife is very violent and
unfaithful. His daughter steals money from him sometimes for dating. He really
needs a friend right now. We know that there's more that we can provide for him
though. He's very humble now, and he's willing to do anything we tell him
because, and I quote: "[He] can see the truth in our eyes." The power
of the spirit is more real than anyone could possibly know. I cannot deny that.
I love this work. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior. I know they love me,
and will guide me throughout my life as long as I am willing to do it their
way. I prefer it that way anyways (most of the time. Still working on that, as
I'm sure we all are).
I love you all. Seek to increase and strengthen your faith
throughout your lives, and provide a light whereby others may find their way to
the safety of the Gospel Shore. My testimony is of a Loving, Living God who
will not let us fail.
This is my area from Lion's Rock view.
