Well, cannot believe that this is already the last P Day in this transfer. Time flies in the mission.
We worked really hard this week, and ended up only bringing one of our investigators to church. To tell the truth, Elder Thompson and I were really disappointed, because we had put in a ton of effort to bringing people to the chapel, coupled with much fasting and prayer.
As we sat down a little disanimated, we started the meeting as normal. And then one of our investigators walked in a little late. We hurredly made room for her in our row. Five minutes later another walked in.
Then another.
In total we had only brought one investigator to church.
And the Lord brought six more.
And what is more, of this six we are working to get baptismal dates for this Sunday for three of them.
Miracles exist, and they come only when we work hard, trust in the Lord, and then wait on His timetable for them to appear.
I love what Elder Holland once said:
"Sometimes the blessings come now, others don't come for a while, and others may not even come in this life. But for the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, they come."
I testify this is true, and that it is always worth waiting it out to the end.
I gotta run now because we got to the internet cafe late today, but know that I love you. And more importantly, our Father in Heaven loves you. And if we stick it out to the end we will see Him, and join him in the realms above.
You are always in my prayers.
Elder Kennington
