Hello everyone!!
If there is one thing I have learned more than ever on my mission it is that "Miracles have not ceased".
The Lord provided us with many this week as we were willing to work hard no matter how hot it was lol!
We taught many new investigators this week! I hope to share a couple of great lessons we had with them and others this week!
The first person we taught was a 75-year-old man by the name of Gram. He is actually from our English Area that we are working in also. He recently had a stroke so he is currently recovering. We came over to his house for the appt and his daughter said he was walking the neighborhood. We went and found him and walked back with him to his house. He moves about as slow as you can possibly imagine. But he is doing great with his current health condition. We then sat down in his garage with him and shared the Restoration with him. He is a great guy with a desire to come unto his Savior. He has been Baptist for 30+ years and said: "He was looking for something new". We had a great lesson with him and he had some great input. We are excited to continue to work with him in these upcoming weeks!
Next, we had the opportunity of teaching a woman by the name of He Shang. She is very sweet and we had found her a bit back at UCR. We began the lesson and asked her some questions to see what she already knew. She had VERY little background knowledge. She didn't who God was, who Jesus Christ was or even what the word scripture meant! So we started with the basics. The lesson went really good as we shared the Plan of Salvation with her. She accepted a date for baptism on 8/25!
Next, we taught Zing again. He is on fire right now!! He reads and prays every single day. He said he feels guilty when he doesn't. We talked about the importance of baptism and how that is his next big step. He took a date for baptism on 7/15! That is pretty soon but he is looking committed to that date. We taught the importance of Fasting to give him that extra support in keeping the Word of Wisdom. He fasted alongside us on Sunday! We are excited for him and the much progress he has made!!
The last Miracle of the week was on Sunday!!
We were doing studies when someone added me on WeChat that I didn't know. We began to talk and get to know each other and figured out he was Christian. He asked if we were Mormon? I replied with a yes, and he said GREAT! I have been to SLC and want to understand more about your Religion!! This just came out of the blue and we were stoked. We set up an appt for him 1 hour later and met with him and his daughter. Great lesson and he fully committed to reading the Book of Mormon and praying every day!
As you can see the work is on the move, thank you for all of your prayers! LOVE YAA
