Mission Miracle from Elder Benjamin Miles
June 8, 2009
Do you remember Hogue? He is the boy from Bangladesh who we met and how we found him was a miracle! But we found out that he was a Muslim and the church has a policy that in order to teach Muslims they have to meet and be interviewed by our mission president. So we never thought that Hogue would be up for an interview but on Tuesday, he came up to the church and was interviewed by our president! Hogue loved the interview and we got to meet with him the next day and the lesson was incredible. He said that he had prayed about our church and that he had gotten a response from God but that he wanted to know more about our church and so that was amazing! And he is so excited to meet with us! This is just an example that Constant Contacting works, I meet him in the bus and he is an amazing person. This is truly a miracle!
This week I had another miracle while my companion went with another companion to meet Houge for the interview. I went with another companion to do a little street contacting and I really didn't know where to go. I needed the Lord’s help. So my companion and I sat on a bench in the middle of town and we decided to pray and ask god where we should go. So we said the prayer and no sooner had I raised my head up than my answer came. I knew exactly where we needed to go! The Lord was clear--- go straight down the street! So that is what we did and we started contacting and it was going alright but nothing really special, Then I saw someone that I recognized come toward us. It was a man that I had met street boarding about 4 weeks earlier but when I had met with him the first time I had written his number down wrong and I hadn't been able to get a hold of him! So I asked him if he was still interested in hearing our message and he said yes. I got his correct number and we were able to set up with him and it was an amazing lesson and this for me was an amazing miracle. God led us back to him! God guided our footsteps-- it was an amazing miracle.
Also, along the lines of following the spirit we were in the bus the other day and I love to bus contact. it has always been a successful way of finding for me and I got into a bus and I wanted to know who to talk to and once again I had the distinct impression to sit down next to this one boy and talk to him about our English classes. So I did just that and he was very nice and after that he asked me what I preach and he told me that he wanted to learn about our religion and we had a great discussion about the Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ. At the end I got his number and he was very excited about hearing about the Book of Mormon. Once again the truth rings true “Let the holy spirit guide” !

Also this week, we were coming back from an exchange in Ploesti. As I got on the train I heard someone speaking english so I got up and went to see who was speaking and it was a man from India named Sandeed. I asked him if I could speak with him a little bit and he said sure. The best part about this miracle was that before leaving Ploesti this morning I had had the impression to bring two English Books of Mormon and so I did and sure enough the Lord knew that I would have need of them and I spent the entire 3 hour train ride talking to him about the Book of Mormon. Sandeed really loved it and the other part that is amazing is that he is from Cluj and in that same day the senior couple from Cluj was on the train and coming back from Bucharest. So I got him hooked up with them and am hoping to hear how it is going with him! Another miracle.
This is anther cool miracle I was on my way to church this week and I saw a man and I've been doing everything possible to constant contact and to keep working to the max--- it is my sprint to the finish! And so I saw this man and I didn't have a lot of Time and so I decided that I would just invite him to church! And so I did and he came. He came and stayed for the whole sacrament meeting! It was just a testimony to me that diligence is worth it!
