Fill The Font

Howdy y'all, it has been an amazing Miracle filled week! You guys won't even believe it.

So at the beginning of the week we drove up to Idabel and it exchanges with them on Tuesday it was really cool to go back to Idabel like always. We had a lot of fun with them, we went to dequeen the next day and that was a little rough because they don't have a lot going on so it's pretty slow but we taught a couple lessons it was great. Once we got back to Gilmer we went on another exchange with the elders that live with us. We got to teach our friend ceejay as we showed up he was super happy and immediately let us in but he had all the lights off and it was super dark, he told us that he found out his uncle passed away that morning so obviously we taught the Plan of Salvation! He seemed to enjoy it and knew it was true but I don't think he understood the seriousness of it, he was a little skeptical to come to church but we invited them and he said he might come sadly he didn't. That night we got to teach Amy again and we thought we would teach the law of Chastity and it was really tough to teach a 17 year old that in a little awkward but the spirit was strong and it went well she is still planning on being baptized on March 26th and is super excited about that continue to pray for her. On Friday we had the fattest Miracle of the week, we had stopped by this less active member about a week ago and his name is Thor he is married and has two kids that are all non-members we taugjt the restoration and I got to teach the story of Joseph Smith and the first vision as I was reciting the first vision their eyes were filled with tears afterwards I asked them how they felt about the experience Joseph Smith had yeah. She looked at me and said how do I feel right now? I said yes, she said I feel God's love I feel truth I know that it's true the spirit was so strong and they are praying about a day to be baptized this is an answer from God and these people are absolutely prepared! Along with that Miracle we started teaching a members granddaughter and we taught her the restoration and she came to church on Sunday hopefully we will see a lot of these people enter the Waters of baptism! There are some of the Miracles that I get to see being part of the greatest work in the world God is good any answers prayers.

Alma 58:34 Now we do not know the cause that the government does not grant us more strength; neither do those men who came up unto us know why we have not received greater strength.

   35 Behold, we do not know but what ye are unsuccessful, and ye have drawn away the forces into that quarter of the land; if so, we do not desire to murmur.

   36 And if it is not so, behold, we fear that there is some faction in the government, that they do not send more men to our assistance; for we know that they are more numerous than that which they have sent.

   37 But, behold, it mattereth not—we trust God will deliver us, notwithstanding the weakness of our armies, yea, and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.

Love yall, Elder Thomas:)
