This was a week of miracles! We could easily think of one for every day as Sora Richards and I reviewed our week. After an inspiring district meeting, followed by a fantastic zone conference, we identified things that we would work on to improve. We really want to call on the powers of heaven by doing EVERYTHING within our power.
This Saturday, we decided to spend our time doing missionary work, despite what others said about low chances of success and angry Romanians. In those hours, the Lord blessed us with great success. We set up for many appointments, received telephone numbers, and testified to others who weren't interested, but listened kindly. President, it was incredible. One girl I'm particularly excited to meet with was passing us with her brother on the side-walk when we stopped them. We took our turn testifying and promising blessings. They listened politely until Sora Richards held up a copy of the Book of Mormon. The girl's eyes got wide and she grabbed the book quickly with great enthusiasm. Before I knew what was happening she'd grabbed my companion and kissed her cheeks! She told us she'd been looking around for somewhere to buy that book and couldn't find it. When we offered it to her free she almost fell over. We set up to teach her more this week. Truly, the Lord knows us. He wanted his daughter to have a copy of that wonderful book and He knew we could give it to her. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to participate in sharing the "good gifts" of our Heavenly Father with his children. We were where we needed to be at the right time because we were being obedient.
