Mission Miracle from Sora Brenda Benson

We worked really hard this week trying to find new investigators. We were doing a lot of contacting and block-knocking, but the weather wasn't the prettiest, so not many people were out on the street. It was definitely discouraging and not fun being in the blocks for three hours at a time, but I also know that we are not the only ones doing it! We were able to find one girl, sitting on a bench, who had just broken up with her boyfriend. We ended up talking to her and giving her a first lesson, and a Book of Mormon. She seemed really excited and interested in learning more, but at the same time, we weren’t able to get any contact information. She had just torn her phone card, and didn't give us her address. So we have to wait for her call, or to come to church. I really hope she does, because she was really prepared! But the real miracle is after a pretty miserable week, at church a younger girl showed up. We hadn't talked to her or anything. She is Evangelist, but she didn't like it because everyone was old! So someone suggested to her to come to our church. So she showed up! We talked to her, and introduced her to some of the youth, and she stayed for all three hours. I know she has a lot of questions, and we gave her a Book of Mormon, and I just hope that I can answer her questions, and help her to have a good experience, and help her progress.
