Hello Everyone!
Miracles are happening. For this week's letter I'll just share 2. The first is with brother King and this happened last night. He's someone we are teaching now:
Brother King rolled up (He's in a wheelchair) and knocked on our door at 10:20pm. We were a little scared because I couldn't see anyone through the hole but we opened up and there he was so we talked to him. He asked us if he could borrow some scissors... so we said yes and gave him some scissors. He rolled off and we were a little confused. My companion suggested that we give him a book of Mormon when (or if) he came back with our scissors. I thought it was a great idea. He came back a few minutes later and we gave him a book of Mormon. He was telling us that he had just gotten married about a month ago. We explained how the gospel blesses families, individuals, as well as married couples. He was super excited! We gave him the temple marriage and family pamphlet because I wanted to give him a family proclamation pamphlet but couldn't find any. We invited him to read it and he said that he was going to go home and read it that very night. We are planning on seeing him tomorrow.
The next miracle is that of Sister Massey:
We were visiting a lady that is a little crazy. She has referred herself to the missionaries (requested that we visit her) a ton of times but each time we attempt to meet with her she won't keep any commitments. We met with her this last week and asked who she knew that could use the message that we had shared with her. She said her sister was in a rehab facility because she had fallen and they were worried that she was now paralyzed from the waist down. We went the next day and stopped in to see how She was doing. She was sad but we shared a message about our purpose on earth and how God gives us trials so that we can grow. She lit up. She was so comforted and expressed her feelings of peace and joy. We set up a time to see her after she got out of rehab in the next few days. We went by and she was just telling us how She knows the Church is true and that Christ is at the center of it. She has a humble spirit and desires to be taught more. In the message we invited her to read the book of Mormon, pray about our message, come to church, and be baptised! She agreed to all of them. She is truly prepared by God and an amazing person that wants to do the right thing.
I love being a missionary. God has blessed me with a love for these people that I can't describe. Miracles happen every day. I know that as we are obedient to Gods command and work diligently, that He will bless us.
Moroni 7:35-37 (However I'd encourage y'all to read the whole chapter)
35 And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these things are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will show unto you, with power and great glory at the last day, that they are true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased?
36 Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?
37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain.
Elder C.R. Anderson

2. A stray cat kept trying to sneak into the Church. These are a few pictures from the multiple attempts.
