Mission Miracle from Elder Benjamin Miles

March 22, 2009

Saturday was also a really cool day. We had another really good day at English and after that we went out to lunch with some of the Elders from our district. They have had a really had time finding investigators and so as we are sitting there eating lunch and the thought came to me to have us go into their area and spend a day working. So that is what we did. We went to their area with the hopes of finding them some new people. God did some miracles and we ended up after 2 hours of work with three new people to call back and meet with and the people we met were really cool! The first one we met after we stopped this one guy who quickly rejected us and after he rejected us this other man came up and stopped us and asked us what we were talking to that one guy about! So we told him that God loves him and that he is our Heavenly Father and that he had a plan for all of us in this life. And then he told us how he was the world champion of drinking and how God had helped him to overcome his drinking problem and after that we talked to him about eternal families and we asked him if we could set up a day to meet and he was very excited to meet with us again and so we are going to meet with him. After that we went into a park and got rejected for the most part and then we got stopped by these three guys playing chess and started talking to them and then other people started to come and there were 6 people listening to us teach. We ended up talking to the humblest man that I have ever met and he was so excited to hear about the Book of Mormon and gladly gave us his phone number. Miracles do happen-- we came out of their area with 3 new potential investigators for them.
