October 29, 2012 letter

Happy Halloween! Though we don't celebrate Halloween as missionaries. We actually have to come in at 6. I guess there is a lot of interesting things that can happen on Halloween. Hopefully kids don't come trick-or-treating to our place. We have no candy for them!

Didn't feel the earthquake. We didn't even know about it till the next day at church. Crazy. We have missionaries serving there. They are all doing fine. There were no deaths of injuries. The Lord is protecting His missionaries since it was the 3rd largest earthquake recorded in Canada's history. 

We had our primary program yesterday and I loved it. There is a less active that we have been working with a lot. She came to church and her two girls were in the program. It brought tears to her eyes as well as mine. The primary program is probably my favorite program they do. I love those kids that sing loud and proud.

We have had many, many miracles happen this week. We were doing our companionship study when we got a phone call from a less active/part member family we were going to meet with that morning. She called to tell us she was sick and would be unable to meet with us. We were thinking about changing our points for the day, however, we left without doing so. We dropped by a young girl we tracted into a few nights before. It was dark when we were tracting so I didn't see the NO TRESPASSING signs. That made me a little nervous when I saw them in the daylight. We knocked on the door and an older gentleman opened the door. I don't think he was grumpy, he just wanted us to get to the point. We told him who we were and asked if she was there. He said he would go get her. They let us in. It was a miracle. He told us that he was a baptized member that must have just gotten lost in the shuffle. His records aren't here. We taught her, and with past experiences, she wants to follow Jesus Christ. She became a new investigator and we gave her a Book of Mormon to read. She was handling it so carefully. It was humbling to see.

Then, later that day we went to the hospital to see a referral that was given to us by a member. She let us come into her room to share a message. There was a man there with her, possibly a husband or boyfriend. He told us he is also a baptized member that must have just gotten lost in the mix. It was amazing to see the Lord's hand in this work. We are going back tonight to visit her again. We gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon to read. She was also excited to receive one. We phoned the member who gave us the referral and she seemed really surprised, but grateful, that we called her back. 

There are many more miracles happening here in this part of the Lord's vineyard and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

Have a wonderful week! Thank you for your prayers. I look forward to more letters :)
Love you all.
