Ahoj!!!!
This week has been amazing! Basically I only have a few minutes so this will be short and sweet, sorry! Wish I could expound but we planned activities in a bad order today and the library is about to close. Basically I have a huge testimony on if you expect miracles, they will come. That is the summary of this week! So great. We were out contacting. We stopped a lady at the corner and she listened to us but had no interest, she had met with the missionaries before. But as we finished the contact, we noticed the guy working in the Kabob shop watching us rather intently, kind of awkward. But as she left, he called us over and began to question us why we walk here and there contacting everyone but we never contact him. We tried to explain that he is at work otherwise we would have. He then said he is a religious guy, him and his family and that he wants to know more about this book. We talked some and he asked if it really was the cure to all his problems. After testifying he tried to buy it from us. We wouldn't accept the money but gave it to him. We tried to set up a meeting but he said he was fine with the wall between us, he wasn't interested in meeting but he was interested in reading. So we know where he works and we will stop by and try to set up later. So exciting!
Wednesday night in planning, we decided that we were going to find a lady named Jirina. Sister Rosenvall had given her a bench lesson and had been praying to run into her again. When she told me this we started to pray together. And since Thursday we had lots of time and no lessons, we planned a great route that we would go contact and we knew we would find her. We planned to have a lesson with her and get her to be a new investigator. We had great expectations you could say. Well the next morning during personal study we got a text from a potential we couldn't get a hold of, he set up for next week! Then during comp study we got a call from an unknown number, it wasn't Jirina but another lady who wouldn't give us her number. She was calling to cancel, but now we have her number! :) As we were finishing up lunch and getting ready to head out to our contacting block, we got a call from another unknown number. It was Jirina!!!! We were so excited! She set up with us and we had a lesson with her! Can you say MIRACLE! I tell you, expect great things and the Lord gives even greater! We didn't have to go searching for her, she came to us! The lesson with her was amazing! WE taught the entire restoration and then got her to pray at the end in the name of Christ. After the prayer she said she felt really calm. We testified to her and pointed out that was how the spirit speaks with her. It was amazing! I love this work and the gospel! It is such a blessing!
A couple of the other miracles we have seen were Sunday morning, we got a text from and investigator (Katka) 30 minutes before church saying she was coming and wanted to know what time it was starting! Woot! And we also texted our other investigator (Radim) wouldn't commit to come to church. So I sent him a message and said Can't wait to see you at church. He came and stayed for the second hour! Which was a huge miracle as the second hour was on the sacrament which just so happened to be what we taught a couple days before! (not to mention we had planned something different for that lesson and felt bad about it so a few minutes before planning ended we changed to church and it came together fast) Amazing miracles, love the gospel! Oh and Katka at church talked about how amazing it felt there and how she liked it and then the branch president bore his testimony in rs and she was bawling because it hit home way good testimony on being an example to the unbelievers. Then Radim said he really liked sacrament meeting and the more he comes the more he wants to be baptized! We have a lesson with him tonight and we are so excited!
Times up sorry!
Well I love you and I know that this church is true. The Lord is in the work, He is in my life and He will be in yours if you will allow Him. It is worth it so give it a try! I love the Lord, and I love this gospel. It is such a strength. It is amazing how happy it truly makes me! It doesn't matter how many people shut me down or tell me I am wasting my time, I know it is worth more than the time I am putting in. This work is such a blessing and I love it!
Love Sestra Hicken
