MINI MIRACLES…a family from Thailand!... a guy from Samoa.

a family in the park...“I know that He loveth his children”                 

It was another good week here in Beaver!                                        3/7/16  

Our investigators  awesome and are doing really well.

We have another baptism date set for April!

The other night we met a new, really neat family. We knocked on their door

and they straightaway let us in.  It was this cute little family from

Thailand!! The parent didn't speak much English but the daughter is a

sophomore in high school so she did!  We talked to them for a while and

it turns out they met with missionaries a while back!  And they love

going to church...we talked about how much the gospel blesses

families. The daughter (her name is Lou) started to get emotional. We

asked her if she knew if the church was true and with tears in her

eyes she said yes...she knew it was true!  She said she knew it by the

way she felt/feels especially when she reads the Book of Mormon and prays.

The spirit was strong. They are a sweet family and they are excited

for us to come back!

Wednesday night we got to take our recent convert to do family

history!  She is our age and she LOVES family history. Its funny how

much she gets into it. But she has a lot of names so we get to go with

her to the Manti temple in a few weeks to do baptisms!!  My testimony

and love of family history has grown so much. It's the best!

Thursday was a great day..we made a goal to talk to everyone we see as

we are walking.  That's a hard thing in Utah because most of the

people are members of the church ..but we still did it. And so we

first see this guy on the sidewalk with a green Mohawk talking to

another guy in a car through the rolled down window. I was not going

to say anything to them cause it was just plain awkward!  But my

companion decided to compliment his green mohawk.  And boom! A

conversation started, mostly because they saw that we were missionaries.

The Mohawk guy wasn't a member and the guy in the car was a less

Active member. We ended up having a really good conversation with the less

active guy. His name is Jake and he is from Samoa! He really opened up

to us and said that Heavenly Father placed us in his path because he

really wants to turn his life around and come back to church! How cool

is that?!

Then later that same day we saw this young couple with a baby at the park

and so we went up and talked to them. The man had just moved here from

California and the girl was visiting him for the weekend. It was weird

because they didn't know anything at all about Mormons and they had no clue

what missionaries were..which is rare to find here in Utah!  But that

led to them asking questions and Esmerelda straight up asked what we

believed. So we were able to teach them about the restoration there on a park

bench. They asked a lot of really good questions and Esmerelda really opened

up to us about how she is searching for the truth. As we invited them

to read the Book of Mormon and pray, she had tears in her eyes. She is

unfortunately back in California now but I know that Heavenly Father

led us to them. He knew that they were searching so he placed them in

our path. Our father in heaven is so aware of each of us. I see it

every day!

"I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the

meaning of all things." (1 Nephi 11:17). I know we have a loving Father in

Heaven and that is the simple truth we must cling to.

Love y'all
