She Needed Something More



From Cambree King
Serving in Honduras

Sometimes the miracles in the mission are hard to find, but there are truly miracles each day if we search for the hand of the Lord in our lives.

This week we taught a sister. Because we can’t knock on doors for safety, we found her through contacting with the elders. They knocked all of the doors for us and we did all of the talking. She is the sweetest lady and was very receptive. Her husband can’t walk, so he is confined to his bed most of the time. We went to teach her an actual lesson yesterday and it was incredible.

When we walked in her house, she just broke down in tears. She said that she had plans to go to a birthday party and wasn’t actually going to be there for our appointment. She explained how she has been really depressed lately and just needs something more in her life. She said she knew that in this moment she needed the peace and comfort that would come from our visit. It was incredible and the spirit was so strong. We invited her to be baptized and she has a date for baptism. At the end of the lesson, she asked if we could pray in the bedroom with her husband as a family. The spirit was incredible and these are the moments to live for in the mission.


 The Lord works miracles according to our faith. We truly prayed on where to contact with the elders and what doors to knock and our prayers were answered. It’s not easy to find people who are willing to open their door here in Juticalpa, and it was truly a miracle.
