Farmington New Mexico –

We stopped tonight in Farmington NM. If we had not told the wonderful couple that has watched over our house for the last 17 months and our family that we would not be home until Saturday afternoon, we could be home in time for dinner tomorrow. But instead we will probably drive home via the St George area where we can say hello to some of the couples we served with in the FFLM and other missions.

I want to share an experience from a blog of one of the amazing above average missionaries serving in the Fort Lauderdale mission that illustrates one of the reasons it is having so much success. The combination of faith, exact obedience and hard work makes the missionaries close to the spirit. We were indeed blessed to have the opportunity to get to know and serve with such missionaries.

“I also saw a huge miracle in our area, as I was on exchanges in our area with Elder Faniaka. We were going to an appointment that we had, but we turned down the wrong street. Then I looked and saw this man on the side of the street and the Spirit absolutely prompted me to pull over and talk with this man. I kept driving, but then I heard the Spirit tell me the same thing a second time. So we stopped the car, parked, and began heading to this mans house. We knocked on his door, because he had gone inside. Then his whole family came out, we prayed with them, and they explained they had been praying for more peace and strength and this prayer brought that. Then they all accepted baptism! It was amazing to see the Spirit guide us to this amazing family.”
