"Wow I wonder what Hermana Eastman will write about this week.. there's no way she can have MORE miracles."
FALSE!! I CAN!
Go back in time with me... 4 days ago. We're driving down the road and hna Thornbrue sees a quaint green trailer out in a field. She says to me "one day we should go knock on that door."
Fast forward to Saturday.. we have time to go finding (lots of our week has been finding time because we want to save souls!) so we go out looking for this quaint green trailer. You can't get to it from the main road so we wove through some back dead end trails to find it. We went up to the door, knocked twice, the dog barked but no answer. So we left a Restoration pamphlet in English (because we were getting an english vibe) and walked away. But as we were walking away we stopped to look at the sunset. It was super pretty! And hna thornbrue wanted a picture. And as we were taking pictures in theyard of this green trailer, a guy comes out, pamphlet in hand. We were kind of embarrassed to be caught taking pictures but we went up to him and he asked who we were. When we told him we were missionaries who felt we needed to knock on his door, he paused. And he said "well you're in the right place because I'm a believer." And he told us his journey (very similar to Paul in some ways) to believing in Jesus. He shared with us his fears about everything going on in the world, about how it seems the prophecies are being fulfilled. We shared with him the Book of Mormon & I got to tell him about Alma the Younger and testify of this message. AWESOME!!! Our new friend told us our visit wasn't a coincidence, it was an answer to prayer. He wants to introduce his family to us. He wants to learn more. His name is Robert, and he was our miracle man this week.
What's even more beautiful about this story is that it's one of many this week. If I can tell you anything it's that I'm so happy to be doing this work. This really is the work of the Lord. It really is a work of love. Don't believe me? Jump into this work! Go to the temple. Teach with missionaries. Share your testimony. Invite someone to church. Pray for miracles. Pray to see the Lord's hand. And my goodness I promise He'll show you.
It's amazing!!!!!
