Miracles are being worked

Hey all!

What a joy it is to be a part of this miraculous work! The past two weeks, I've been so grateful for the evidences I've seen that miracles are being worked: according to our faith, by the Lord's power, and through revelation. I can testify that God is always willing, through the Spirit, to dispense the knowledge and wisdom we need to work the miracles necessary for the blessing of those around us. These past couple weeks, I've been especially impressed by how much that's carried out through our studies. The Lord is ready and waiting to guide us, through revelation, to work miracles, and if we have the faith, they will be.

Elder Price and I saw that in action this week in our first visit with Sendy. She had been going through some really difficult things. We were just getting to know her, and Elder Price, led by the Spirit, started talking about the Footsteps in the Sand poem. She disappeared into her house and came out not two seconds later with a framed copy of it. She doesn't speak English. Apparently she had owned that poem for years but only that afternoon, after getting back from something very difficult, did she feel prompted to Google translate it. That was when she told us God had sent us.

Another instance where we felt an extreme measure of the guiding influence of the Holy Ghost was in a lesson with Hector and Anthony. Hector has been attending church unbaptized for 20+ years, and Anthony, his son, is working on his mission papers. We felt directed to share Chapter 1 of Preach My Gospel as a lesson directed towards Anthony, and we invited Hector to receive missionary lessons taught by his son, discussing his genuine concerns and doubts, as a way of helping his son prepare for his mission. The Spirit was felt powerfully in that room as we testified about the importance of missionary work. The next day, Hector accepted. We NEED your prayers for both of them. 

I'm so grateful to be a missionary!!! I love my life and know that this is the work of exaltation. Some incredible things have been worked by the Lord this week through His servants. What a privilege it is to represent the prophets and Apostles working out here :) 

For all those that have been following the situation down here in Texas, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. It was a little crazy last week, but we were fine (I just got a little caught up playing basketball to send a weekly out 😂). The worst that happened to us was a night where it got a bit chilly and going two or three days without a shower. Prayers were definitely answered on that front, and the Lord protects the missionaries. Some other folks have gone through crazy things though, I've never seen the food bank line as long as it was on Thursday, and Walmart is still rationing milk and water sales. 

I love you all! Thanks for your prayers and for the work you're doing. Please pray for the revelation that YOU need to work the miracles God's preparing for those around you, through you.

Happy, grateful, lucky, and blessed,

Elder Child
