Family and Friends,
Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a blessed day yesterday remembering Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice and triumphant victory over death! We had a great day and were able to share a lot of Easter messages with people which was super awesome!
We also got some pretty awesome news! We were told that we will be inside for at least two more weeks, and we're excited to see what kind of blessings come our way this week!
But this week has definitely been full on a lot of tender mercies and little miracles that keep us going when the going gets rough!
There was this lady who when we got here we tried contacting and it was not successful. We tried knocking on her door and some men opened and told us she was of a different religion and shewed us away with their hands! And so ended up having to stop teaching her, which was kinda sad because the other Elders had told us that she was super legit and had so much potential! But fast forward to this week and she had reached out to one of the other Elders that had taught her but had since been transferred and he put us in contact with her and she's right back on the progressing path! We're having multiple lessons a week and she even participated in the world wide fast this past Friday which was super awesome! We are really excited about her!
We then have been trying new ways to find people, and so we went on a Facebook page for Lancaster, PA and did some digging around and found a Latina! We then just sent her a message hoping for the best and she actually responded and we have a lesson set up with her tonight!
And just like 30 minutes ago, we just get this random call from this man named Jose and he said that he was returning a call! He was confused who we were, but we were able to set up a lesson for this next weekend! We then looked in our records and there was no number and then we looked in our call history and we have never contacted him! So not really sure how he got our number but God is good!
But something that really hit me this week as I was going back and studying the conference talks from this past session I was hit by the line in President Dallin H. Oaks talk where he said that the spirit world now has many mortally trained missionaries who are there right now helping the work progress even faster! And I got to thinking if they think the work is fast right now, just wait until the coronatine (Corona + Quarantine) missionaries get up there! Then the work will be going by so fast!
I love you all so very much and stay safe!
