Fasting for Missionary Work

Ok, I gotta make this quick so i can be obedient and get off this computer in time.

Our whole mission fasted for baptisms last fast Sunday, which was much needed, because we have a goal of 77 before the end of the year. At the rate we are going we are going to be 20-30 short.

We also had a complete answer to our prayers this last week after fasting for missionary work. We have a wonderful recent convert family that loves to do missionary work. Last Sunday, as we were fasting for missionary work, this family walked in with a non-member friend named Dillon. We had the chance to talk to him and sat with him in our gospel doctrine class. We had a dinner with that family the next Saturday and they invited Dillon over with us. We taught him the restoration and he had already been reading the Book of Mormon. I was dumbfounded. He again attended church yesterday and we had one of our other members invite him to dinner. In short - in one week, he has attended all 3 hours of church twice, been invited to and taught at 2 different member homes and is already reading the Book of Mormon. Wow, we are truly blessed; and I have gained a testimony of the power of faith and fasting!

Highlights: STEVEN CAME TO CHURCH. I was so happy. Even though the rest of our investigators cancelled, we had it poppin' while he was there.

SLY :)
