This past week has been crazy busy. Missionary work is always the best when you are really, really busy :) This week we met a really sweet girl from the Sudan. She is an incredibly humble person and has a deep love of Jesus Christ. You can see it in her whole face. She has an incredible desire to follow Christ in everything she does and was really excited when we gave her the Book of Mormon. We are really excited to see her again soon!
We also had transfers at the beginning of this week but me and my companion are here in Geelong for at least another 5 weeks :) I really love this area and the people here. As a missionary you meet so many people from all over and it's fun to see people that you have met before running around town.
We actually had a really interesting experience with that (seeing people around town). We were in Geelong city centre a few weeks ago visiting a sister in the hospital. On our way we met a man who is a first time father of a little baby girl. We talked with him briefly and found out that his little girl was a bit premature and had to stay in hospital. He didn't really seem to want to talk with us so we left it at that. The 2 weeks we were without our car we walked and took buses. We got on a bus at the end of the day and there he was! Same guy we met outside the hospital! It was actually very awkward because he still didn't want to talk to us, but I said "hi" and asked him how his little girl was doing. He responded briefly then ignored us......awkward..... But thankfully the Lord gives us more than one opportunity if we need it :) A few days ago we were following up with a potential investigator but they weren't home so we decided to tract the street. As we were near the end of our tracting we saw him, same guy, walking down the street. His name is Trevor, his little girl is fine and he does ninjitsu-basically he's a ninja :) He was super friendly and a lot more open, and said "there must be some reason I keep running into you."
This sounds like a crazy random incident but these things happen to us everyday on a mission. I know that it is true, that there are more miracles today, in our time, than there ever were before in the world. And that miracles only cease, when our belief ceases. These little things, they really are miracles. It is through small and simple things that great things are brought to pass.
I know as we continue to work hard, we will continue to see these miracles and bring the message of the restored gospel to these people so that they can make the saving covenants with their Father in Heaven that will bring them back to him.
