25 July 2018

So you want to hear about that miracle?

My companion and I were walking along the side of the street, and someone named Julio passed by in his truck. He told us, "Hey Elders, come to my house, I need to talk to you guys." We already knew him, because he was a referral from the branch council. When they gave us the referral we went to go meet him, but he told us he was going to be out of town for 3 or 4 months working, so we weren´t going to be able to teach him. So we were a little surprised to see him because he would have had to get back early.

So anyway, we went to see him, and when we showed up at his house he told us that while he was out traveling he felt like he needed to change his life. He said "I felt like God was calling me, you know? like, "Come back!" and then I remembered you guys, and I want you to help me get closer to God. Who is Joseph Smith anyway?

So very amazed and a little confused about what was happening, my companion and I taught him about the restoration. As we taught him, he was so excited by how strong he felt the spirit, that he literally jumped up and down in his chair. Now we are pretty excited to plan a baptism for him, We are just going to wait a while because he has to go out of town to work again. But when he gets back, we´ll pick up where we left off.

This story is so great because it shows that God really is preparing people all the time. He is always working on softening the hearts of his children and He doesn´t forget about anybody.

I love you guys, keep being awesome.
