The Lord Knows!

This past week we also found another great family to teach, and it was a pretty neat experience finding them. Last week in the afternoon we were walking to one of our appointments and I noticed on the other side of the street a young boy in a wheel chair who was struggling with moving himself along the sidewalk. I told my comp we were going to be a little late to our appointment because I wanted to help this kid out. We crossed the street and I told him to kick up his feet and pull in his hands because we were going to set a land speed record. We got to talking and he told us that his name was Percy and that he was a member. He was baptized a year ago by an Elder Mayo. I asked him about his family and he told us that his parents weren’t members. He had a great conversation on the way to his house and we asked to talk to his folks but they weren’t home right then. We made an appointment to return and on our return visit, both of the parents were home. We started talking to them and they welcomed us with arms wide open. We found out that they weren’t married yet so we instantly told them about the “matrimono massivo” that was coming up. They both told us that they have wanted to get married for so long but haven’t had the money to do so. It was truly a miracle, we gathered all of their documents and did their health examine in no more than two days. We have began teaching them and helping them to gain the same testimony that their son Percy already has. This week we are going to challenge them to get baptized. The Lord works in so many ways and knows who is ready to receive the gospel and progress in this great plan.
