When It Rains, It Pours Blessings!!

This week was just nuts. I can't believe how much Heavenly Father is blessing this area. We saw so many miracles!

First was Beth who we met on Tuesday and got a return appointment for Saturday.  After teaching her all of the Restoration, she accepted to be baptized, hopefully for the end of Septmeber! We are so excited for her and hope she can come to church next week. :) She is so sincere and really wants to know if God is there.

Next was going on exchange with Sister Moangare.  While we were on exchange, we were contacting up the high street and stopped a family with four kids. We explained that we were sharing a message about families and how they can be strengthened as we follow the example of Jesus Christ. We asked if we could teach them more and they quickly said, "Yes!" We were so happy! We will hopefully be going to see them tonight for the first time at their home.  We are hoping and praying all goes well. :) I told Sister Moangare I have never seen that my whole mission - stopping and having a family accept our invitation to learn more on the street!  We were thrilled.

Yesterday, after church, we decided to head down to Bognor Regis, which is the tourist town on the beach just southeast of Chichester.  As we walked to meet a new investigator for a return appointment we noticed a man staring at our badges as we walked by.  We spoke to him and found out his name is Christian!! He wants to find more inspiration but hasn't found a church that he is happy with.  He said it was a sign from God we found him on a sunday!  We gave him the Book of Mormon and he wanted to hear the whole Restoration right then but we were on our way to another appointment so we had to schedule for today instead.  We're really excited to meet with him today and I'm so grateful Heavenly Father just places us where we need to be.

I have found so much joy in the work this week and I'm so grateful for Heavenly Father's grace and guidance to lead us to the people we're meant to teach! I love it.

Scripture of the week: "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." -1 John 5:2-4

​Exchange with these lovely sisters. :)
