Teaching in Arizona
About a week ago I clicked on a referral for someone named Lawrence who
wanted to meet with the
missionaries on Mormon.org. I gave him a call, and he is completely prepared! When I checked his address, I saw it said Temecula California, and that's in the Carlsbad California mission where my twin brother is serving!

So I thought that
was awesome, but what was the real miracle happened today when I called him and
asked if the missionaries had stopped by and he said they had, and he had a baptismal
date for May 29th!
Excited, I congratulated him and asked, "Who are your missionaries?" (just out of curiosity) He then said, "An Elder Willes and an Elder Abraham." I then felt the Spirit so strongly at
that moment because I felt how interconnected God is in our lives. Seriously I want you all to think of all the referrals in the world: all of the missions, missionaries, towns and countries in the world and my twin brother is teaching the same person!

Heavenly Father is amazing and I know He is in every detail of
our lives, including the referrals we take. It's no coincidence that I got that
referral. I know that everything we do is part of God’s plan for you and I here
in the center. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries
of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in
these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to
come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round." (1 Nephi 10:19) he
thought that was amazing, but alas, he had to refer Lawrence to the young
single adult missionaries, but still he and I got to teach the same person.
That almost never happens.
Natalie and the other missionaries serving with her were able to meet US Senator John McCain when he toured the temple grounds last week! |
