Dear Everyone!
It is transfer season once again and I
am staying here in the same area with Elder Virgínio for six more
weeks. I am actually really excited because I know that I still have a
lot to learn from him. I have to be quick again because of the new
missionaries that will be coming here to our zone but I just wanted to
share a quick story.
Miracles:
This
week it was so incredibly busy that I literally did not work in my area
for one full day. I was in 2 different cities, 5 other neighborhoods and
with 3 other Elders, but I KNOW that the Lord blesses our efforts and
our good works because everything worked out with the two young men,
Samuel and Tiago, that had been planning on being baptised this week.
That in and of itself was a miracle but then afterwords, after they were confirmed members of The Church of Jesus Christ, the Bishop called
both of them in to talk with him about receiving the Priesthood. We
then had the opportunity to give both of them the Priesthood. Tiago (13)
was ordained to the office of Deacon and Samuel (20) was ordained to
the office of Priest. And then, one more miracle, Samuel was called to be the
Assistant to the Bishop in the ward. It was absolutely incredible to see
two young men who are truly converted and who want to follow Jesus
Christ. This work is so incredibly fulfilling and worth every effort. I
love my Savior and His work on the earth.
Keep moving on because it will all work out in the end. And if it isn't working out, its not the end yet.
Love,
Elder Allen
