This past Saturday
and Sunday has been one big miracle. This Saturday, we again visited a brother's home. On the phone, he said you can come, but my wife
is not interested. So we went. When we got there, I felt right at home.
Their home is very western and modern. Additionally, they were in that
"Saturday afternoon" mode- This brother was still in his pajama
bottoms watching "Get Smart" while eating his late lunch that his wife
prepared- Mutton Curry (but it was Kerela style because that's where
their family is from. Kerala food means nice coconut flavors.) His
children were running around playing and I played snakes and ladders for
10 minutes while he was finishing. Then, we started talking with
him and his wife, and naturally the discussion led to the Restoration of the Gospel and the Plan of Salvation. We were there for about two and
half hours reading from the Bible and Book of Mormon with him and
answering the different questions they had. By the end of it, his
wife, agreed to come to church with the full family! I don't know
how her heart softened in two and half hours, but it truly did. When we
first met her last week, she was pretty stiff, but by the end of
Saturday, she was laughing and smiling with us! And yesterday, they all
came with their three children! And it turned out the
church members they sat next to were the children's classmates. And
another family from our branch are from the same part of Kerala as their
family! Needless to say, they had a wonderful Sunday and the branch
members were all very happy and welcoming to them. These are the moments
when you feel like everything is worth it. I can't help but give
gratitude to Heavenly Father for allowing me to be an instrument in His
hands. And we are looking forward to continue teaching their family and
help them prepare to become an eternal family!Saturday, April 5, 2014
Miracle 134: A Miracle from India!
This beautiful miracle is from a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in INDIA! Miracles are happening all around the world.
