Miracles!

So this past week has been a good week. It had it's ups and downs, with days where everything seemed like it was falling through. But there were many "ups".

First of all, after weeks and weeks, even months of heat and sun, it finally rained! And it's been raining off and on for just about the whole week, which has been very nice. It also made everything a lot more green and tropical looking.

Another "up" is that, while door knocking, we ran into a 16 year old (who looks 20), Flynn, that asked what we do as missionaries. He then told us that he'd be willing to have us around again to teach him the lessons, and he seems more interested than any other people we run into while door knocking. We have an appointment with him on Tuesday and we're looking forward to that.

There is also a guy named Tyson, who has been coming to church for around a month now. We actually door knocked into him before he came to church, and he said to come back later, but nobody answered when we came back. We assumed he wasn't interested, but then a few weeks later a friend brought him to church, and upon introducing ourselves we realized it was the same person we met while door knocking! He wasn't ready for the lessons at the time, but just this past Sunday, he came to us and asked us if we could start teaching him, so we'll be seeing him today!

I'll just finish off this email by talking about obedience. On the mission we say that obedience brings blessings, and exact obedience brings miracles. We know that obedience is vital, especially for our investigators and those we teach. When they are obedient to the commandments, they receive blessings, see miracles, see changes in their lives, and reactivate or convert. On the other hand, those who think that a little disobedience is ok, change their "spiritual trajectory" by just a few inches, and in the end they often fall away and miss the mark by quite a distance.

Thank you all for your love and support!
