This week i wont be sharing a spiritual message but ill be sharing a personal experience that i had this week.
This las week was hard, i got a little sick for a couple of days and couldnt leave to my area to work so it wasnt the best week. We have this investigator whos name is Francesca, she is 14 years old and has been investigating the church for a few weeks now. She was a contact we had who accepted the gospel right away after she had a near death experience a couple days before meeting us. the only problem we had with her is that her mother didnt want her to join our church for multiple reasons and her family was very against her joining. so in my prayers every night i prayed that her mother would soften her heart and let her be baptized. This last friday, the mother came to us and told us that her daughter couldnt continue investigating the church because the family issues. At this moment we felt very sad because this young girl really had a testimony of the Restored Gospel. So we decided that yeah she was done with us. The following day we were in a baptism for the Sisters and in walked Francesca and her mother in tow! We were so surprised! Later the mother told us that she had escaped from the house so that she could go to the baptism. The first miracle! That night i prayed super hard that somehow the mothers heart would be softened. The follwing day was sunday, and we decided Francesca will come if she wants to. 20 minutes after the meeting started, in walked francesca and her mother! but her mother didnt want to go into the chapel for some reason. later the zone leaders walked in and asked about Francesca and the mother, we told them the situation and they went and talked to the mother. 10 minutes later the mother was crying and saying that she knew it was true and she knew it was where her daughter wanted to be and we put a baptismal date with her too for the 27th! soon enough, she was signing the baptismal record for her daughter to be baptized this week! afterward, me and my companion just stood there like "What just happened?" A miracle indeed!
In this same moment i knew that God had blessed us profoundly. I know that he heard our prayers. I know that he had preparde Francesca and her mother to receive the Gospel at this time. How great is my gratitude for God and His Infinite Mercy! That even when His children dont deserve such blessings, He gives it to them!
My dear friends, I am so grateful for the love and support that i have felt here in the mission and i pray that you will continue to pray for me daily. I love you all and i hope this week is great!
