Blessings from the Storms of Life

Biking, Tracting , Service, and Flooding ... of Blessings
We did a lot of biking this past week, one day we rode our bikes 24 miles, that was a lot of biking, we went tracting on last tuesday and we found a 62 year old (Earnest Brishke) He said he is good where is at but is having a bad day, he told us that he has a broken back and he has no heat in the house, he has logs but they are too big, he can't split them becasue of his back, so we went the next morning to help him split wood so he has heat in his house, we did it about for an hour, than it started to pour rain, we headed back, when we got to our apartment we played in the rain for a little bit, there was a little flooding. then we were told to stay inside becasue of the bad weather, possibily a tornado but there was not a tornado. but there was a lot of flooding in some areas. Earnest called us the next night and told us how grateful he was that we did that for him, that he has been thinking all day about us. we went the next day and taught the restoration with him and committed him to be baptized and he accepted. he told us he was selling his house, he had people clean his house for him, when they were cleaning his house they stole his computer, tools, T.V. and his social security papers. He doesn't have that much money anymore. We are working with him and going do all that we can to help him. His date is for the Feb. 19.

Faith

This past week we have been teaching and focusing on faith with all of our investigators, to help them to build faith to overcome the thing that is keeping them for being baptized. because with faith all things are possible. Just working really hard, and with all the baptisms we had that really got them going and got them really excited. when we go over to members houses we go over to teach not to hang out.

The Blessing of Fasting

I fasted and prayed to have more faith and bold, while I was teaching one of our investigators I already could tell, I was more bold in a loving way and I was more clear. I can't really describe it but it was really amazing of what had happened. I know that fasting and sincere prayer works and Heavenly Father is watching and will always answer every prayer.
