Dear Family and Friends
Well it's transfers this week! It has literally been the craziest week my entire mission! SO MANY MIRACLES!!!! We sent a goal for 40 lessons and we hit 39, a week ago we had zero on a baptismal date and by tonight we will have 4, we had 6 new people at church, and I am going to be a District Leader in Winter Garden North!!! It's crazy that I'm barely out of training and I'll be a district leader! I feel a little inadequate. However, I know that whatever God asks us to do He will sustain us and support us! I don't have to be and won't be alone! And when it comes down it If I give of my all, taking heed to the Lord's counsel I can rest assured that my Father in Heaven is proud of me! Anyway, I am sad to go but glad to grow! I'm excited for this opportunity!
Alright, so there have been countless miracles this week and I can't share them all but I'll share one crazy experience and then two just awesome miracles! The first happened as we drove out to a lesson with
one of our less actives! He is coming back strong! We taught him an amazing lesson concerning how he and his wife could be sealed in the temple and the steps they need to take to get there! The spirit was incredibly strong! As we testify of the simple truths of this restored gospel the spirit will back you up and touch their hearts! It was amazing! Anyway this family lives way out in the country and we had to use a map to get out there! It was crazy dark and we had to swim through the swarms of misquotes to get to the car! We get inside and start backing up and something starts crawling over my companion! We turn up the brightness on our iPads and find at least 25 of the biggest cockroaches I have ever seen crawling over the windows, seat belts, sealing, and floor! We had a 30 min drive back to our place inside this car of roaches and we could only defend ourselves with our restoration pamphlets! Haha I have never felt so uncomfortable ever! Hahah but we survived it was just so nasty! Hahah oh how I love the mission!!!!
Another miracle that has happened this week is with Amanda, many weeks back I was able to give her a blessing, I had cried during the blessing and for that reason she began to ask questions about the church! The sister missionaries began to teach her! She has been gaining interest and the sister invited her to pray about a baptismal date on Friday night! They promised her that if she asked in faith she would receive an answer! She prayed and she as the scriptures promised received an answer! She is no going to be baptized on Christmas! First of all, I will never be ashamed of crying ever again! Hahah and secondly it's another amazing reminder that if we ask we shall receive! God is so eager to bless us and help us with every righteous desire that we have! Why are we not asking him for help?
One of the most rewarding miracles we have seen is with Sarah! When I first met Sarah she was an atheist and now is is going to be BAPTIZED!!!!!! She prayed sincerely about a date and she wants to be baptized on December 31! It is amazing how many prayers have been answered! I know that God hears and answers our prayers! He truly loves and cares about us all! He is our Father and wants us the best for us! He hasn't forsaken us and his arms are outstretched to aid us! We have been able to see Sarah quite often this week and have had great lessons with her concerning obedience and how she can prepare for baptism! I LOVE being a missionary! Hopefully president let's me come up for the baptism! Well, that is just a small portion of the miracles we have seen! If we set goals and pray and then act in faith, God will work wonders among us!
Your amazed miracle witnessing missionary,
Elder Tracy
