I am so happy and I want to let you all know of the wonderful miracles we have seen in our area this past week. There are too many that I don't even have the time to begin to share all of the amazing miracles, blessings, and answered prayers.
Last Saturday, our ward planned a fireside to invite investigators to tour the church building and learn more about the auxiliary organizations. It was so sad when it was an hour after it should have started and we didn't have any investigators arrive yet. We were disappointed and then we had a great idea. In the front of the church were about 30 men playing basketball. We jokingly said we should invite them instead and close the gates so they can't leave.
The Elders and Bishop were joking that they could use us to invite the men to come into the church for the fireside. I suggested we say a prayer first. So we prayed and then went out to the basketball court and we were surprised they accepted our invitation. Sweaty, wearing basketball shorts and tank tops, and most without shoes, they entered the chapel. We had a fireside and most were very interested. It was a good experience and a complete miracle to be honest.
I felt the Spirit, and asked myself, did that really just happen? The last people we were going to invite ended up being the people that Heavenly Father had planned all along. Heavenly Father guides us and humbles us at times when we may be choosy about who we think needs the Gospel in their lives.
There are countless other miracles.
I love you all. The work is doing great. The time goes so fast. Thank you for all the prayers and keep the letters coming. I really appreciate them even if I can't always reply right away. Thank you Sister Leete for the cute halloween card and thank you Sister Bair and Carpenter for the visiting teaching. I appreciate it so much and it is always uplifting. Thank you Sister Young for the letter. I think of you all, always.
With love,
Sister Santa
