Monday: taught 5 lessons on a pday, including a miracle less-active find in the park!
Tuesday: we invited two people to baptism. One of them said yes and the other one said he would pray about the date that we mentioned.
Wednesday: I was poorly describing the apostasy and our Ami said, "they didn't have the keys (of the kingdom):" an amazing example of how God can enlighten the minds of his children. We invited her to be baptized, however, she declined. We will invite her again next week.
Thursday: the Ami that we invited to be baptized on Tuesday accepted his date after prayer and meditation.
Friday: gave a less active a blessing and her heart was softened and she committed to come to church.
Saturday: another baptismal invitation, and another commitment to prepare for a specific date accepted!
Sunday: if hearing the voice of the prophet of God was not enough of a miracle, here's a big one for you: we were talking to a lady in the park and she started telling us of her pains and afflictions. We testified of the power of the atonement and my companion offered her a blessing. I was, at first, taken aback. However, I thought of the savior and what he would do in our situation, and subsequently started a blessing. A rustling park was immediately calmed as my companion announced upon this woman the words of her father in heaven. It was truly a beautiful experience. We hope that she will listen to the counsel she was given and progress in the gospel.
I was also very grateful for the chance at I had to watch conference. My only thought about conference is this: those men are not just the leaders of the church, but the leaders of the world. To listen to their inspired counsel is to listen to the voice of the lord. I know that I received answers to my questions and I know that God wants to speak to his children. All we have to do is be humble enough to listen and follow.
Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
