Miracles

SACRIFICE BRINGS FORTH THE BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN

ITS TRUE!!!!!!

This week was one of the most amazing weeks of my mission wow so many

miracles!!! So lately sister Hanson and I have been struggling with

church attendance- having our investigators come to church and so

we've been praying to know what it is that we need to do. Last week

during our weekly planning we decided that we needed to do a fast. Not

a fast of food but we wanted to sacrifice something to show the Lord

that we were truly committed and that we really needed His help. We

came to the conclusion that we would wake up every morning at 6:00am

and read in the Book of Mormon until 6:30 when we normally wake up to

start our exercise. Friday morning the alarms went off at 6:00am and

we popped up begin our scripture study and it was then that the

miracles just started to appear everywhere. As Sister Hanson said all

weekend we've just been "walking into miracles".

I don't even know where to begin....well first we street contacted

Maria who we found out has a son and daughter in law that are both

active members of the church in Mexico- we later met her teenage son

Jesse who testified to us about how he would die defending Jesus

Christ and has now begun reading the Book of Mormon. Next we have

Marleen- a referal that we received from the English elders, we went

to contact her and soon found out that she actively attended a Spanish

branch in City Heights where both her mom and daughter were baptized,

she is not yet a member but is excited to attend church this Sunday.

Glayds is also a street contact that has a sister who is a member and

recently moved to Utah- she is excited to meet with us and wants to

come to church when she can get off work. We have the Rodriguez

family- another street contact of 7 people and it turns out that one

of the daughters is close friends with one of our recent converts-

they are also excited to attend church and want to prepare for

baptism. Yesterday we were walking up a hill to visit a part member

family in a trailer park (we've probably walked it 10 times before and

never met anyone that speaks Spanish) we were stopped by a man named

Juan who went on to tell us in Spanish that him and his wife were

sealed in the temple and haven't attended church since they moved

recently but he wants us to go by tomorrow to teach his three non

member daughters. We street contacted and taught another family of

five and are continually seeing the Lords hand in this work!!! We are

so grateful for the trust that God has placed in us as His

missionaries and are excited to continue working diligently and

obediently!!! There are so many amazing things happening in the Santee

5th branch!!!

I love you all!! Thanks for the letters and prayers!

Con amor, Hermana Koelliker
