This week was one of the best in the mission. I am a witness of one of God's greatest puzzles.
After freezing temperatures for almost a week, we had a 60 degree day here in Washington DC. We never study outside, so we thought we might as well take advantage of the beautiful day! We sat on a bench right in front of the temple where two young men walked up to us and asked, "Are you the Spanish-speaking sisters?" We said "Yes!! We are from the DC 1st ward!" And they said, "No way! We are less-actives from that ward!" HAHA they said that they haven't been coming to church for a few years but always liked to visit the temple. They said they knew the church was true, but that they had just slowly drifted away.
We had the BEST conversation ever and invited them into the Visitors' Center with us to watch the new videos we have on the restoration. RIGHT as we started walking toward the Visitors' Center, a young woman started walking straight toward us.
She was the sister missionary that had taught them FIVE YEARS AGO IN THIS SAME MISSION.
WHAT!!!!!!! How does that happen?!?!?!?!!! It was the most amazing reunion and the young men were THRILLED to see her! We had another amazing conversation, and she said she was just back visiting the area and would love to stay and watch the videos with us!
As we continued our walk to the Visitors' Center, guess who we ran into?? Sister Webster's recent convert and his cousin who is an investigator!!!!!! We all went into the VC together, watched the videos, had a lesson with the return missionary, two less-actives, and one investigator! The spirit in the room was bursting at the seams.
And to think it all started with a little prompting to study outside...
I love this gospel and I know it's true!!!!!
