This was a great week. Elder Davis and I are working hard and seeing lots
of miracles. My favorite one that happened this week, we received a referral
from our bishop for this 60 year old man that was walking from Wendover to Ely.
If you know anything about eastern Nevada Geography, Wendover is about 120
miles from Ely. The guy's name is Michael, and he got about 43 miles before a
trucker picked him up, (who happened to be a member of the church). The trucker
called our bishop and got him the help he needed. To make matters worse, there
was a nasty storm and Michael didn't have a jacket. As he and the trucker drove
down they talked about the church and Michael got really interested and said he
would come! We met with him and arranged for someone to bring him to church,
but when they got there he had decided to walk to church instead (What's a mile
and a half compared to 43 miles?) It is definitely a miracle that he was able
to survive the snowstorm in the middle of nowhere, an even bigger miracle that
he got picked up, and an even bigger miracle that the guy who picked him up was
a missionary minded member!
I know that miracles will happen as long as we have the faith that is
required. And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore
I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he worketh by power,
according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and
forever. Moroni 10:7
Remember, there is no greater work than missionary work, and no work
has bigger rewards than missionary work. God is ready and willing to give us
these opportunities to share what we know to be true. All we have to do is be
willing to open our mouths. For it shall
be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say. D+C
100:6
We'll see what miracles happen this week.
