Small miracles

This one is for everyone!

How is everyone doing? I hope that everyone has been enjoying life, because that is how it should be. I have been enjoying the mission a lot. We have been seeing many small miracles here in Saratoga Springs. The past 3 transfers we have worked really hard contacting referrals, former investigators and knocking doors and I probably know or know of about every single hispanic person in Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs. So just before this transfer I was basically out of ideas and just prayed to ask God to prepare the people who are already here and to bring new people ready for the Gospel to the are. Since then one non-member family that we weren't even teaching has come to church twice, an eternal investigator that we have who has been meeting with missionaries for years and goes to church every Sunday stopped drinking coffee because her family's home teachers gave her a blessing to be able to quit and she got sick and didn't want to drink coffee for like a week because she was sick, and then just didn't start drinking again. So she should be baptized this week or next! And two kids, a girl who is 17 and a boy who is almost 11 started coming to church because their mom is inactive but their aunt is an active member of the ward. The 11-year-old already wants to serve a mission and to be baptized, he just told us that he wants to be baptized and then be good after and not just be baptized to be baptized. God has really been answering that prayer! It was just a different feeling that I had when I was saying that prayer. I had faith and knew that it was the will of God that what I was asking would happen, and it has and will continue to happen. It was really a situation where I had done almost everything I could do and all I could do was ask the Lord to help us. He really is helping.

Besides all of the work that is going on we had a little fun trying to milk the goats - our landlord told us we could whenever we wanted to. We got the district together, but even with six of us we couldn't get much, and then the goat stepped in the teeny bit that we got, so we couldn't try any of it! It was pretty fun though.

I hope everyone is doing great at work, at school, at home, on vacacion, or wherever you are! Heavenly Father loves you.

Love,
