We had a really good week in Melton! I am starting to settle in here pretty well, and am enjoying it here so far! The beginning of this week was pretty normal stuff, but this weekend we have had so many miracles!
The first one I'll tell y'all about real quick happened on Saturday when I was on exchanges with Sister Stoker in Melton (SO FUN! I was so happy to get to spend a whole 24 hours with one of my mums!). We tried to contact a potential investigator who wasn't home, and then we decided to go around the corner to see a recent convert. We walked past a house with two people outside so we started talking to them. The husband is from India and the wife is from Fiji, and she has a cousin in Fiji who converted to our church, but they are both Hindi. We asked if they knew of anyone who might need our message and they directed us around the corner to a unit. We decided to try and contact the girl right away and knocked on her door. She answered and let us in straightaway. We started talking and found out her name is Gloria, she is from Adelaide, she has met Elders in Adelaide before, and she had an Arabic and English copy of the Book of Mormon with her! It was awesome! We taught her the entire restoration lesson and committed her to be baptised on December 27th! I know it was NOT a coincidence that we met her!
The next miracle is still in progress... Sister Lee and I have an investigator Mary who has been meeting with the missionaries for a few months. We had the challenge last week for each companionship in our district to set a baptismal date with one of our investigators and baptise them in the month of October. Sister Lee and I took the challenge and set a date with Mary for the 25th of October. Sister Stoker and I visited her on Saturday to try and solidify her date, and I was so surprised when we were talking with her and she had such a strong desire to be baptised this week! Unfortunately, the adversary has been working as well to try and keep her from being baptised. She wasn't able to make it to church and keeps expressing to us how much she wants this and how strongly she can feel something trying to stop her. We have been fasting and praying for Mary pretty much ever since we were able to solidify her date and I know that it can be possible for her to be baptised this week! I will update you on what happens with her next week!
I love you all and appreciate so much all of your prayers and support on my behalf. The Church is true!
Love ya heaps!
