My Family Miracle

Hey this week was great! 

First of all Kevin is getting baptized this Saturday! Yipeeeeeee!!!!

 

Also a member family fed us the best fish of my life I definitely need to just move here and marry a fisherman or something. 

So on Monday night last week the assistants called us to tell us that we're training again in Zone Conference and our topic is 'Using Temples & Family History work in finding the elect and aligning the keys of Moses & Elijah'... Um. We both realized that we super don't do that. & In order to have an effective training and to have power and authority we needed to actually do what we were training about. John 7:17 "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." So! We did it! We found the elect using temples and family history and it was miraculous!!!   We found the most people I've ever found in a week in my whole mission all by using the My Family booklet. The first day alone we started teaching 24 new people it was insane I tell you what! I felt like skipping down the road on our way home! The church is true! We only had like 1 person turn us away all week when we started with the My Family book. We had one lady that was so excited- we found her on Wednesday and went back to her house on Thursday- She told us after we came she talked to her husband all night about how they would raise their family in the church. She accepted the invitation to be baptized right away it was so exciting. 

I loved doing Family History so much before I got to the MTC I'm grateful Heavenly Father sent me this reminder of the importance of it. 

Ephesians 1: 10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  

I testify that Heavenly Father is hastening His work on both sides of the veil. I see it everyday and it is such a blessing and a privilege to be a part of it!! Yippee!!
