Good Afternoon.
Normally we find 6 or 7 new people to teach every week. This week we found 12. It was bananas. Here's how we did it. Faith. This is how we prayed. "Heavenly Father, we are going to make two friends in the next 45 minutes at this location unless you stop us." He has not stopped us. Not at all.
The other day we were trying to call our friend Gates but I dialed the number wrong and this girl Ali answered the phone. We were like oh hey where is Gates? She obviously didn't know so we asked her if she believes in Jesus. She was blown away. Apparently this week she has had so many spiritual experiences and talks with her boyfriend about Jesus and a ton of things leading up to AN UNEXPECTED RANDOM CALL from the Missionaries from THE TRUE CHURCH of Jesus Christ. She said her search history is literally filled with "churches near me." What. Sister Williams and I almost exploded.
"And again, the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith."
Mosiah 27:14
13 Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth.
14 Behold, it was the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
15 Behold, it was the faith of Ammon and his brethren which wrought so great a miracle among the Lamanites.
16 Yea, and even all they who wrought miracles wrought them by faith, even those who were before Christ and also those who were after.
Ether 12
You just have to be faster than Satan. Act on promptings before you have the chance to doubt. Make the right choice before the wrong one starts to make sense(Satan somehow makes you think the DUMBEST, saddest, lamest choices make...sense??) No!!! Never justify sin! Repent and MOVE ON.
"The past is like a rearview mirror. You can glance at it but you'll crash if you stare at it. What is in front of you matters more than what is behind you. A little regret can be motivating. Too much can be debilitating. Be wise when you look to your past. Keep it healthy."
- Hank Smith
I love you all so much. Prayer is extremely powerful. Read the book of Mormon. Keep the Faith. I miss you!
Love,
Paige
