Riceys Mission blog: The miracle Ice Cream

This week there was some amazing miracles! We were able to do many member visits which can be hard when families are very busy here, but we went right before dinner time so it worked out! We see how much the ward members need strengthening and we plan to visit everyone before they show general conference which is sat. and sun. We want to prepare them and follow up with their daily scripture and gospel study. That is something that is hindering their ability to feel the spirit.

We went on a walk with the lady I met on the subway and went on a hike with Sister Holmes. We talked and she has been stressed so much her body hurts and she’s sick. We just were her friends, because in the past when we tried to share a message, she would tune us out. But this week she said she wanted to come to church sometime! She is amazing and I know that if we really care about people we will be there friend first. (Pablo in PMG finding)

On the way home from walking with her in a park, we decided to buy some ice cream and it was buy two get one free. We didn’t know what we were going to do with the third one but we got it anyway. Well sure enough this was the miracle ice cream because right when we got to the elevators my knee hits sister Holdayways water bottle in her left hand, and the extra ice cream flies out of her right hand. I remember thinking how weird that was, and that sister Holdaway was so clumsy!;) but right when that happened, a man that is walking out of the elevator as we are stopped to get the ice cream on the ground sees us and asks if we are the missionaries! We introduced ourselves and he is a not active in the church and he really loves the missionaries and really wants to go to Utah to see his missionary but he has lost contact. We got his information and plan to meet again. The ice cream was a miracle and meeting Mr. Han was not an accident or coincidence!

Guess what!? Our two investigators came to church! One is 18 and the other is 15. We picked them up for church (took a taxi to their house and bus back with them) and the ward was very welcoming! For a second I thought they would be swallowed up but they met a lot of people and became good friends with the recent convert we work with that plays the piano for us! And the member’s testimonies were soooo sweet and exactly what the girls needed to hear. Everything worked out perfectly for them and they had a wonderful experience. That was a miracle!!

This week was amazing!

The weather is getting real cold now :) not ready for the winter!!!
