Hey, Everyone! :)
We have had some miracles this week! I have been praying and praying that we will be led to find someone who will actually be interested in what we have to share. Well, we set out each day with the hope we will be able to find just one person to teach. Day after day we had little to no success. However, we did get one referral from Mormon.org for a free copy of a Large Print Bible. Usually the people who order large print bibles are really old crazy people, so weren’t too hopeful for this one. We decided to give her (Leticia) a call regardless. We set up an appointment to meet her at Dunkin’ Donuts in Astoria. We got there a little early and waited for her. Leticia, an older Filipino woman, walked through the door, immediately came right over to us, introduced herself, and told us to get up and go order some food! She got mad at us when we only ordered a donut and proceeded to convince us to get drinks as well! We ordered our hot chocolates and she told us to go sit down while she paid. She brought our stuff over to us, sat down, and proceeded to lay out her entire life story for us! She used to be Catholic, came over to NY, met some Born Again Christian pastors last week on Friday and was baptized in their church the very next day on Saturday! The reason she wanted to meet with us is because she feels she doesn’t know how to apply the teachings of the Bible to her life. She asked us if it would be against her new religion if she met with us weekly to learn more about Christ. We told her that the Lord would be very happy that she is seeking greater light by studying with us! Leticia is such an adorable Filipino woman! She has a lot of faith in Christ and is willing to do anything to come closer to Him. We are fairly confident that she will progress in the gospel :) I am super grateful for the miracles the Lord is sending our way! Hard work truly does pay off even if it is in a completely different way than expected haha!
Well, there was a lot more that happened this week, but I guess I will have to save it for later ;) I love you all and hope you have a phenomenal week!!!!
