Thank you so much for the
package!!! It was awesome. I loved your letter the most. This last week we set
a man around 60 years old on date. He is prepared for the Gospel. he had a
roommate in college who was LDS and it has made an impression on him ever
since. We met this man riding our bikes and we asked if we could leave a card
w/ him. He agreed and said better yet why don't you give me a book of mormon.
In the past week he has read all the way to 2 Ne.2. We set him on date to be
baptized March 16. Transfers, is this next week so we'll see if I get to see
that happen. I'm not really sure. We just know one of us is going to get
transferred.
Sunday we met w/ a member
just to drop by and see if he knew anyone we could try and teach and in return
we heard an incredible conversion story. He is also the man who had one of
dad's framed legacy pics in his house. When he was married his wife was a member
and he was not. He was a hard-nosed guy who didn't want to join, but respected
it. He was out at work a lot. At this
particular time he was out of town for work. His wife back at home noticed
their daughter dragging her feet really bad. They took her to the doctor, who
was LDS, and they found out a form of paralysis was moving up her legs and
would soon make it to her heart and lungs. The doc told them to come back in
the morning and he would bring some specialists in from boulder. Meanwhile this
man's wife calls him to tell him the news and says, "if there is ever a
time for you to pray, now's the time." So he did and he asked God why he
would allow his little girl to go through such a thing and how if it had to
happen it should be to him. Well he got an answer he didn't expect. (as he was
telling us the story he said, "you probably aren't going to believe me
elders."lol). Boom!! right in front of him what looked like flaming words
appeared right in front of him and it spelled out,"through your children
you will be converted to my church." His first thought was did that really
just happen? I'm not really sure I believe that, its going to happen again or
something if I'm going to know. Then Boom!!! The same message appeared. The
next day the family went to the doctor, he was still at work, and they had all
the specialists around. The LDS doctor told them he'd fasted and prayed about
the little girl and he feels he needed to give her a blessing. All the
specialist stayed. He gave her a blessing of healing and she hopped right up w/
nothing wrong w/ her anymore. It was a miracle. The wife called her husband and
told him the great news and he asked her what she was doing that coming weekend
b/c he was getting baptized.
Have a great week. I love
you all
