This week was crazy awesome. I felt super sick all week and for some reason can't get over my cold. I received a blessing and so things have gotten better but for a while there I was super plugged up and felt like I was going to die...partly.
But back to the awesomeness. I think I told you about our investigator Dean. Well he is the budda guy who always asks about where our prayers go, how does god hear them, who is god, where is god??? And all this ridiculous questions that are important, but I don't really know how to answer because I don't know where God is all the time or exactly how he hears our prayers or if they go up in bubbles etc. But about a week ago I ended up just asking him what would happen if Jesus Christ had never came to Earth and suffered for our sins or what would happen if we didn't have a God. And then after I asked that I was like "shoot, why the heck did I ask that cuz now he will just think that he would go back to Budda or some other religion!"
But...It was way cool. On Wednesday this week when we returned to meet with him, he told me that he had been thinking about that question I had asked him all week! I was amazed. It actually worked. He said he has been trying to read more and to say his prayers with more intent and he said that he had a dream. I'm not sure what all happened in the dream because he didn't share all of it with us, but he wrote it down and had it there in his notebook! It was amazing to see the spirit work with him and to see him begin to change. He has stopped worrying so much about how it all works and his faith is starting to grow. We then went back to meet with him on Saturday and we watched the movie Finding Faith in Christ and though it was kind of cheesey he said how he liked how it focused on the positive things that Christ was able to do rather than the whole crucifiction or gorrey things that are in some movies that the world puts out. And he finally came to church on Sunday! He said that he fasted and he also really enjoyed the testimony meeting and being able to hear from all the people of all different ages. We were then able to give him a small tour and show him the baptismal font. I am so excited to meet with him further. I know that as we have been praying for him that the spirit is working in him and that he is able to find answers for himself. This is a miracle.
In other news we were able to find several other potentials while tracting and are going back to meet with one of them today. The Lord has prepared these people and all we have to do is find them, or be examples so that they can find us!
Take care everyone!
Love,
Sister Beames
