It Was No Coincidence!

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!

She Felt Like She Should Walk Down This Road Instead

We had two really cool miracles here.

Yesterday my companion felt like we should look up this one potential investigator and, while walking up to the door, we stated talking to this lady walking her dog. It turns out that she used to meet with the missionaries and she said she would meet with us again! She said she had felt like she should walk down this road instead of going the way she had planned. It was such a cool experience!

And then yesterday we got a media referral but we didn't have time to call.  So we called the person who referred her this morning and she was just telling us about her friends background and the situation leading up to this point.  I could just feel that her friend was prepared by the Lord to receive the gospel. It just feels good to know that I am worthy to have the Lord work through me to bless the lives of others.
