Misy ny fahagagana maro eto Andranomanelatra izao!
Miracles! That's all I'm going to say! Not going to lie
but this week was probably one of the most spiritual weeks of my mission thus
far! I don't know what it was but we literally saw miracles left and right
everyday and I can't wait to tell ya'll all about it!
To start off, on Wednesday Elder Becker and I went on a
split with on of the AP's, Elder Rigby! It was such a good split and we saw a
huge miracle from it! While we were tracting we saw a man standing out in front
of his house and we decided to go up and talk to him! His name is Paul and he
gladly let us talk to him about our message! He wouldn't let us in his house
but he let us describe a little bit what we do! We talked a little bit about
our work but we didn't really see the conversation going anywhere and decided
to end it by inviting him to church! We really didn't think anything of it
because we always invite everyone to church but almost every time that don't end
up coming....Well, on Sunday, Elder Becker and I walked into our Tent/Chapel
and guess who was sitting there? Yep, Paul!!! He really came! After Sacrament I
went up to talk to him and this is literally what he said to me, "I got
some things I need to think about." Holy Cow! If that's not a miracle I
don't know what is! We went to his house later that day and set up a program
with him next week! Hopefully we can get him to come to church again!
On Friday we had another Miracle happen! We went out to
Sarodroa and we decided to mix things up a little bit by teaching Raymond and
Bebe first! Bebe is Raymond's Mom and she has been learning for a long time but
still isn't baptized! She has been waiting for Raymond to finish his divorce
papers before her baptism because she wants to be baptized together! Well, Bebe
is starting to get tired of waiting and she wants to be Baptized now! I talked
to President Foote about it and we still think it's better if she waits for her
son Raymond! I told Bebe that on Friday and I thought she was going to kill
Raymond, haha! She said, "I can't get baptized because of you! Hurry up
and get divorced already!" haha! Well, now Raymond is really trying to get
his papers done and hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll see a baptism in
Sarodroa!
On Saturday, we had yet another miracle happen! Elder
Becker and I found this new investigator a couple of weeks ago named Solo! Solo
is awesome! He's very smart and things come easy to him! Our lesson this week
was about the Restoration of the Priesthood! He was still having a hard time
trying to understand why Prophets and the Priesthood are so important! Elder
Becker and I really stressed the importance of Priesthood and we shared the
example of Moses from the Bible! We finally got him to understand that the
thing that makes a prophet a prophet is the priesthood! We then went on to
teach about Christ's church and how it fell into Apostasy! I then shared the
first vision again with him and showed him three pictures: God and Jesus
Appearing to Joseph Smith, the picture of Christ ordaining the Apostles, and
the picture of Peter, James and John restoring the priesthood to Joseph! I
showed him how Christ put his hands on the head's of the Apostles and then
how they did the same thing to Joseph! After that something clicked in his mind
and he understood it! I could literally see the change of perspective in his
face and it gave me goose bumps! It was literally one of the most spiritual
lessons I've had on my mission!
