All Within an Hour


Oh the miracles are endless! To follow up from last week's cool
miracle about James.....yeah he gave us a disconnected phone number
and an address that wasn't his. Awkward. BUT we talked to the lady
that lived at the address he gave us and she we are now teaching her!
From Shamaya, to James, and now to ERICA (shout out to my little
sister! Yes I double checked and she spells it with a "C") and her two
children. They are a super cool family and we had an awesome lesson
with the Bain family (a new family that just moved into the ward from
Arizona who are awesome) and Erica's family. Pray that she will
continue to be awesome!

Another cool miracle- we went to the church last Sunday after all of
the meetings and we synced our Area Books on our iPads. A little
referral popped by the name of George. We had just synced a couple
hours before and there wasn't anything new, but we just decided to
sync again regardless. The record said to call him and that he would
be interested in a Book of Mormon. Well we called him and he said he
would be very interested in receiving a Book of Mormon because he knew
it would teach more about Christ and he is currently on a spiritual
search to follow God.......yeah you read that right! We arranged to
meet at the church, and then when we were talking about when to meet
he said, "Well if I start walking now I could be there by 5:00 (it was
4:20). See you then! Look for the old guy with a cane." We called
Bishop Rolfe and asked him to come join us for a lesson (Bishop Rolfe
is the former Bishop of 1st Ward that is an amazing missionary), and
sure enough at about 5:10 we saw a man with a cane standing outside
looking at the church.

We invited him to come inside and we were able to teach the
Restoration and throughout the whole time he kept on saying, "Yeah
that seems to make sense." He said someone told him that Mormons were
pagans, and he stood up for us and said that he wanted to learn more
and read the Book of Mormon. He just recently moved to El Centro
because he felt prompted to come hear, search for God's truth, and
read scriptures. He said that as he was walking he wasn't sure which
church was ours, so he would walk until he found one that felt right.
There are a lot of churches on the same street as the church, but he
said he didn't feel right stopping at any of them. Wow I'm getting
crazy excited just writing about it. We are seeing him again tonight-
pray that everything will continue to be led by the Spirit!

Alright well I'm off to the county fair! We have a friend from the
Food Bank that got us discounted tickets! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I can't
wait to see the goats!

meeting we had in San Diego. We thought it looked pretty epic.
