We are continuing to see the Lords hand here in the Tomball
2nd area and the Klein 2 zone! We are still trying to do what we can to help
out some of the surrounding area so that they can also see more success in the
areas.
So about 2 days this week we were in other missionaries areas trying to
help them out. And we saw some good stuff. One of the areas we felt needed some
help was up in Magnolia! We have some great missionaries up there, but they
have just been having a harder time this last transfer finding! They are
working so hard to find. So we decided to go to there area and see some
miracles!
And as always the Lord provides! I went with one of the newer Elders
in the mission named Elder Hanks. He is a good Elder! So we talked about how we
were going to go knocking from 6-8, and we had them pick the area just previous
to going. And we went out! It gets darker a lot faster, and so the neighborhood
we went to had a lot of big dogs, and its so dark you can't tell where they are
you can just tell they are close! But we continued to knock even with the dogs
out everywhere, and we were probably knocking for about 1 hour and 50 minutes,
and we had about 4 people say that we could come back and visit.
During this
time we were talking a lot about the need to have the faith to find. I was
talking to him about how we need to have the belief that people are prepared
and then we will be blessed for it! And the Lord blessed us again.
At 7:50 We
knocked on the last door we had planned on doing and a couple walked outside
and started talking to us saying that they have been looking for a church. We
were on there porch for the next 40 minutes teaching them about parts of the
restoration and the plan of salvation. They had worries and fears about not
having enough faith, and so we were able to talk with them and by the end the
spirit had testified to them. It was so amazing! They asked us if we could come
back and keep teaching them! They were very sincere!
So as we went out together
that night to find those were prepared the Lord provided! I hope it was a good
experience for Elder Hanks. He seemed to come out of it more confident, so we
are excited to see the miracles continue!
Also this week we met with some more of our investigators.
Our top investigators right now are Nikki and Pamela. They are two young girls
in a part member family in our ward. One is 9 and the other is 11. And these
girls have been taught over the past several months, and I think that they are
ready for baptism. I was very surprised with how much they knew and could
remember. We went through the baptismal interview questions with them, and some
of them we had to word a little different so they could understand but they
then answered great! So right now with them we are planning on having
there baptismal service on Feb 7th. So we are excited to continue working
towards that with them!
The Lord is just blessing us so much right now! I am
just so grateful to be apart of this wonderful work! This gospel changes lives!
We are so blessed to be apart of it. I would just please again invite you to
continue to look for service opportunities, as well as chances to bring others
to Christ.
I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
Elder Joshua V. Christensen
