"For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things." 2 Nephi 2:11 This week has been a much better week than the past ones. We were able to meet with some of our investigators and had some great great lessons with them!! We had some miracles happen this week though. So the first miracle is that we were waiting at a supermarket for someone for an hour and we gave a few people some pamphlets that would take one, and then we went inside and got some water so we wouldn't thirst. The lady at the till was very wondering who we were and we gave her a pamphlet and we wrote our number on the back. That night she texted us saying she wants to know more! But the best part is that she came to church EARLY and she really really enjoyed church! Most people want to meet with us and have a lesson or whatever before they come to church. So that was definitely a miracle and after i send this email Elder Bandi and I are going to have a lesson with her! The second miracle is that we got bounced by someone we had planned to meet with and so we did some contacting in the area. We contacted some people and as we were leaving I saw this guy and something just told me to contact him!! So we contacted him. Harold is very very friendly, nice, a family guy, and it was like a golden contact, he even said he'd come to church. We invited him again on Saturday night and on Sunday HE CAME!!! He stayed for the whole of church and really really enjoyed it! He says he will be back next Sunday and bring his family! The Lord really will place people and opportunities in our path if we are doing the right things and are open for them!! The third miracle is an experience with tithing and fast offerings. So we visited Hezbon and Silvia and Silvia told us her miracle. She showed us a 20,000 shilling check for the family, but more specifically for June, to pay all of her school fees until she graduates from High School. And here a lot of families struggle to pay school fees for there children but that is definitely a miracle for them!! Silvia also told us how at Hezbons work there was a massive break down and the company was going to go bankrupt and he would be out of work. But one of the MP's (Or like one of the political leaders in the area) payed for the entire thing to be fixed and helped Hezbon keep his job and he even got a promotion from it!! The Lord really does us to PROVE HIM (Malachi 3:10) with tithing and fast offerings and see if he wont open the windows of heaven for us. I really love that word Prove. It is like a challenge, the Lord is saying "Try me i dare you!" before they were even baptized they started to pay tithing and fast offerings once we taught them about it. And they continue to do it, and now they are seeing the miracles of the Lord because of it!! This week has been so nice. We even gave Susan and Lilian baptismal dates of the 4th of March. Right on my little Brothers birthday! So that is how i plan to celebrate his birthday! Remember to keep positive and don't let life bring you down. When you are down it is a time to stand up, and go again. Never give up and keep trying. With anything! I have been able to feel the love, peace, and comfort from the people i care about most. I invite you to just ponder about these words: Opposition in all things. Think of how you can turn the negative oppositions in your life around! Have a great week and happy Valentines Day to all you lovers out there. I know i'll be spending it with someone special......Elder Bandi 😂😂😂 Love, Elder Merz
