Well as far as I hear the entire United
States is freezing cold while South Florida is heating up! Sorry to hear
that because we are chillin in 80 degree weather down here in South
Florida. As well to the weather, missionary work is heating up in the
FFLM! Baptisms are falling out of the sky and I am extremely grateful
for the tender mercies of Father to me now and my entire mission.
One HUGE miracle that we saw this week began on Monday! We got out
of a crazy lesson with an investigator and just as we turned the corner
there was a family. Instinctively and immediately I began to talk to
them. We blessed them and they accepted everything extremely willingly!
We finally got to follow-up with them on Wednesday and they were just as
willing to repent and be baptized. At the end of the lesson the ten
year old daughter pointed out some dirt on my shirt. I explained that it
happens all the time because we are always on bikes. Then they tripped
and said that two boys use to come over to there house all the time on
bikes and they spoke perfect Creole. They use to always go to their
church, the father of the family got baptized but they never got
baptized and stopped going since they moved to Plantation. We lit up and
explained that we are a part of the same church and then immediately
testified of Christ and invited them to be baptized that Sunday! The 10
year old daughter was interviewed on Friday [her birthday], and then on
Sunday six days after we contacted them she was baptized! Father blessed
us tremendously this week, especially as we exercised our faith in the
Lord!
So as children of God, let us never give up, but press forward with
faith and then Father promises that He will provide a miracle for us.
Nothing is too hard, with Father on our side.
With Love,
Elder Pond
