Answers to Prayers

This week wasn't the greatest. Sister Herrick was still overcoming her sickness the first of the week, so we didn't get a lot done. She is doing a lot better now. We had a really low day on Saturday, when our only progressing investigator randomly decided to drop us, and we realized that we had no one to work with. That was hard for us both. However, through prayer and the Lord's help, we had a much better day on Sunday. He really helped us see that we aren't at a complete standstill in the work. We had a surprise in the morning when our only other real investigator, showed up at church for the first time since we started teaching her a couple of months ago. She only stayed for sacrament meeting, but enjoyed it and I think she felt the Spirit. We visited her later that day with our recent convert, Donnaliez, and they really hit it off. They have a lot in common and were able to relate well in their situations. Our investigator expressed that she will "definitely be at church next week" and that she will be staying the entire time. She also excepted a baptismal commitment for her birthday in April. All of this truly was a miracle and an answer to our prayers, because we had recently been questioning whether she was truly prepared and interested at this time; we got our answer! The Lord had to bring us low so that we could be humble and see how blessed we really are with those we are teaching. I know He will continue to help us find those like our investigator and Donnaleiz who are prepared and searching for this gospel. We will, with His help, get the work going again here in San Fernando. 

Love,
Sister Bratt
