\u00c2\u00a0More experiences that President Anderson shared in his weekly letter…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153As we prayed before we got out of the car, I prayed in my heart that we might find a way to fulfill our goal of 3 blessings that night. So we got out of the car and walked over to our first lesson. They weren\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122t home! So we quickly took advantage of the opportunity and talked to this man on his driveway. We asked him if we could bless his home, and he said no thank you, but that another time would be better… We testified to him that it would bless his life a ton, and he ended up letting us in. We prayed with his whole family, and they all felt the Spirit, and all of them committed to baptism on the 25th of November! But that isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122t the end. We went to the appointments we had after that, and both of them weren\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122t home! A sign from the Lord telling us to harvest more. So we knocked 5 more doors, got 5 more blessings, and got 5 more families committed to baptism!\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d<\/o:p><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

As you show appreciation to God and show him through your hard work your gratitude, he will always pour his blessings on you:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153God noticed our hard work and it was right at the breaking point where he helped us out. On both Friday night and Saturday night we found someone prepared to hear the gospel at 8:30 at night. It was at times where we both felt like giving up but for some reason we kept going and just put our shoulder to the wheel and did the very best we could. The man we found on Saturday night was one of the most prepared people I have met. After the blessing he said \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153Other than my son being born, this is the best gift that anyone has ever given me.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122 He came to church on Sunday and he is preparing to be baptized on this coming Sunday.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d<\/o:p><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

God will inspire you again and again after you show thankfulness and gratitude:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u00a6 we saw a complex and we both felt good about it. We knocked one door and got thoroughly rejected. We heard voices on the 2nd level, so we walked up and found a man on his phone. Normally when I contact people on the phone they shoo me away, but Caesar gently pulled the phone away from his ear and listened intently as I identified us as representatives of \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Christ, there to pray for him. As soon as I said it, he told us that he was in dire need of blessings- that he had just found out he might have cancer, and was praying for help. When he saw us walk out of our car and to the complex, he knew that we were there for him. We had a super spiritual experience praying for him (and his wife on the speaker phone) and after, he accepted the invitation to be baptized on the 25th! It truly was a miracle and such a testimony building experience that Heavenly Father knows where we need to be, and if we listen to the Spirit, he’ll guide us there.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
