Hello all!
This last week was one full of miracles and good times! (Well every week is, but this one especially.)
We felt prompted earlier this week to stop by former investigators, and almost didn't because we were running out of time. But, we did end up deciding to stop by really quick. Right before we were about to leave because no one was answering, a lady answered, and told us she had been wanting to get a hold of us because her kids wanted to be baptized! What a miracle. God truly prompts us and leads us to those who are ready to hear the gospel.
Another miracle from this week involved Nancy. Before I came into this area Sister Black had visited her, and she didn't want to talk and was very uninterested. She wrote it down somewhere so we'd know not to bother her. But a few days ago, we knocked on a door and Nancy answered. Sister Black's notes on her had someone been deleted so we were led to knock on her door again. This time when she answered, she was very sweet and asked if we could come back another time! Another miracle! Heavenly Father has been blessing us so much as we do our part- and I know this is true in all aspects of life!
We had the opportunity on Thursday to go to a fireside held by our stake on Joseph Smith. Robert Millet, who has written many books, taught at BYU, and has many more accomplishments, talked on Joseph Smith and how he truly was a prophet of God. He wasn't perfect- no one but Christ is. But he was a good man who helped restore Jesus Christ's gospel back to the earth. My testimony in him as a prophet has grown so much from that, and throughout my mission. And the great thing is, when we have a testimony of Joseph Smith, we have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and of Jesus Christ! I know with all my heart the gospel is true.
Some more fun things this week: Last night we went to a "Choirside" where the Sterling Singers sang. (They used to be part of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir). It was fantastic! I was blown away by how amazing the singing was and also how strongly the spirit testifies through music.
Yesterday we also got asked to give a talk in a ward at 11am.. While we were in another ward at 9:30! That was probably the least notice I've ever been even given for a talk, but we made it happen! I am always prepared with a few talks ready to go at a moments notice! We also taught the restoration to Young Men and Women in another ward.
One last thing: Tayllor is getting baptized this Saturday! She had her baptism interview a few days ago and we are so excited for her and the steps she is taking. She has inactive parents, but dated someone who was a member. After he left on a mission she wanted to learn more. We also have a baptism coming up October 7th for Peyton. Peyton is 10 and her parents are coming back to church. She knew nothing about the gospel before we taught her. Finally, October 21st Jett is getting baptized. He has basically the same story as Peyton. They are all so sweet and I am so excited for them! The gospel is true!
Love,
Sister Crofts
