MISSION TOUR
First off, sorry about yesterday. I didn't get to write
because all the new missionaries had to go to Yerevan
to get our residency cards for us to stay here in Armenia
This week we had some cool stuff go
down. We had our annual mission tour last Tuesday and Elder Catcher (of
the seventy) and his wife came to speak to us. It was really cool because
he met with us as zones which only have 20 missionaries in each so it was a lot
more personal. I was on the front row and he caught me sleeping a
little... Whoops! So he said I'm keeping my eye on you. Then he had me
stand up and ask what question I had coming into the meeting and we talked
about our mindsets. Its a little confusing but he asked where I would
want to serve and I told him Vanadzor because it has a KFC and he thought it
was a good reason. Maybe I’ll be sent there in a couple weeks. Who
knows? He talked about the ladder of faith and the differences that were
on each rung and where we all need to be is at the top saying “God can do this
and I can be an instrument in his hands”. It was really cool. Elder B and I are doing our best to
incorporate what we learned in our missionary work
I also just wanted to share a miracle that
happened this week that resulted from something that happened a month
ago. W were teaching a man named S, sweet 75 year old papik, who wanted
us to come back everyday since we met him. After the meeting we left and were
walking to hop on a marshutne to go home, when we met a man named K. He
said call whenever and I'll come to church. A couple weeks passed and
nothing really happened. So last week one of our appointments fell through and
so we wanted to follow up with K. Problem is we have three people all
with the same name in our phone. We decided to just call all of them. Why
not? The first one was off and the second one didn't answer, but the
third one did and said that he wanted to meet with us. It wasn't the same
K... But we thought ‘why not’ and agreed to meet him at the church. We
brought a member with us and K brought two friends with him who we picked up as
investigators as well! It's crazy how the Lord works. We met a man
randomly who didn't end up panning out but then it led to getting three new
investigators!! It was so cool. The Lord really does work in mysterious
ways...
My testimony was really strengthened this
week. Remember that miracles never cease to happen; I know that for a
fact. We see miracles everyday in the mission field and I bet if I was
paying attention I would've seen them before. This church is true and he
work continues to roll forth. I hope that everyone is trying to
strengthen their wards wherever we are to help this work progress. Love
you all,
