this week was great. we had more appointments than we normally have which was a big blessing because it rained a ton! we were able to teach about Jesus Christ in the week leading up to His resurrection. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary around Easter because that is truly the message we are trying to bring to the world. The message that we have a Savior who lives today!
we had a miracle yesterday with our investigator xiaohua (the one from china). she told us about 3 weeks ago she was really busy and couldn't meet us until after easter. we were heartbroken because things were going so well and normally when people tell us that, we come back and they never want to see us again. we went back yesterday and she was happy to see us! we were so happy! we shared the easter video and made an appointment for later this week.
another miracle we had was when we were passing by a former investigator of the elders. president phillips had given us a name of an investigator, michael, that the elders also used to work with who had a lot of potential. we found his information and tried to contact him, but he is at the hospital for something going on with his ears. we called and passed by a few times but he was never there. when we passed by this other former, denis, he was so happy to see us and told us that his friend, michael, was in the hospital but would want to meet with us too and that we can all meet together! it was an answer to our prayers because we had no idea how we were going to get in contact with michael.
also something funny was on easter we had a man call us and tell us he was John the Baptist and then tried to bible bash with us on the phone (we just told him we had an appointment and hung up the phone).
sunday was easter and it was wonderful. i love the easter seaon. it is hope, renewal, and spring. I know Christ lives!
i love you all! have a great week!
love,
soeur paine
