Referral Miracles!

Referral miracle week! So we ended up getting 3 referrals from the Facebook project this week, (our mission has a Facebook page and they´re doing an Easter campaign) which is just super exciting. One of the ladies was super nice and said that we could come back! That was cool. But better yet was our headquarters referral, who we went to see yesterday. He's a young man who saw an "I am a Mormon" video online and wanted to learn more and get a copy of the Book of Mormon. So he's already been reading the Book of Mormon (from an app) and is up through 2 Nephi 9. Say what?! He´s studying history and really likes the Book of Mormon so far. And he said that there are some things that we believe that he also believes but hadn't heard from other people before. And we've got an appointment set up for this week and we're really excited!

Also, our other investigator has been making some amazing progress. A couple days ago he made a major breakthrough in feeling the Spirit in a very rational way testify to him that God exists. He really feels like this is enriching his life and he´s just doing really well. He's also getting excited all on his own to share it with other people. He is giving a Book of Mormon to a friend and has a list of people that he wants to invite to his baptism! So we're finalizing our plans for his baptism!

I really liked this quote from President Eyring from his Conference address last October conference, especially when it comes to difficult or discouraging times in missionary work, "There is joy guaranteed for the faithful. From before the world was, a loving Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son loved and worked with those who They knew would wander. God will love them forever."

As I said in my sacrament meeting talk yesterday, faith precedes the miracle. The miracles will come as we trust in Him. One of my favorite talks, "But If Not" by Elder Dennis E. Simmons, talks about this. We will be obedient no matter what. Even if the blessings that we want don´t come, we will be faithful. And we do this because we can have a perfect hope that no matter what happens in this life, we will receive far greater blessings in the eternal world.

Hope all is well! I love being a missionary!
