Hello all,
This was a week full of many small miracles. Nothing major, but
still little things that will help the work continue onward in the
Bellevue 7th ward.
Because she is hard of hearing, it is hard for Ashley to hear in
Church. She has special hearing aids that connect to a bluetooth
receiver. So with the aid of the ward's technology specialist, we found a
way for the microphone's signal to go directly to her hearing aids. So
she finally came back to Church after many weeks of having different
reasons not to attend, but never fully helping us realize the true
reason for not coming. She continues to seek for an answer.
There were a few instances where God truly placed us in the path of
His struggling children. On the Fourth, we tracted a few houses and met Edward. His house was one that neighbors told us may receive our message,
but we didn't go back to the neighborhood until then. So when he
answered the door he began to cry. He told us that he had just been
studying about God and praying for guidance. He told us that he had been
diagnosed with MS, but due to his pride, never did anything about it.
So now he is paying the consequences. We taught him about the Atonement
and that he can have all his feelings of guilt and shame swept away by
the Savior. He thought he had truly repented, but it didn't seem like he
had taken full advantage of the Atonement. A major seed was planted and
he continued to cry while we talked with him. Although he didn't want
to learn more just than, we will be going back soon...
On Saturday night we were going through the list our bishop gave us
of recent move ins. So we rang on one apartment and asked for the man
we were looking for. The lady started to cry and said that he didn't
live there and that she had been less-active for years and wanted to
return to the Church. She told us that we had come at the right time in
her life. So we are helping her come back. It's amazing how the Lord
works. Sometimes He leads us to one person through another person's
name.
So things are okay. People continue to progress and grow closer to the Lord.
The Church is true!.
