I have seen a miracle over the last week or so. A week or so ago the 3rd ward sisters and I made a wonderful trip to Strathroy.. we went to strathroy to find a guy named Eddie that the 1st ward elders had given to the sisters as a referral. We knocked on Eddie's door no answer... well the lady (amber) on the left of Eddie's Unit opened her door.. And thought that we where knocking on her door.. Sister Olsen and Sister Lavatai said we are Missionaries from the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints and we share a message about God it had been a little windy that day and a tad bit cold.
So she said come in and get warm and we spoke to her that day for a while and we taught her a bit of the 1st lesson. and asked if we could come back and teach her more the next day. she agreed and we showed up the next day.
when we arrived the next day her 5 year old son Matthew was there and he was a busy boy but totally adorable and I was glad that he was able to be there. the next appointment I did not go and matthew was there and he asked the sisters Where is Crystal! so they called and told me Matthew adores you he loves you. So the next appointment I was there. Well the sisters where saying that before we went into the appointment they where going to ask Amber if she would get baptized. Matthew had been exceptionally rambunctious that day and just seconds before they where to ask amber if she would be baptized I had this prompting by the holy ghost to take matthew into the Kitchen where he was getting celery for him and i to snack on to help him wash it off. while I was in the kitchen helping matthew the sisters asked amber if she would get baptized. She said......YES! the sisters when we left said to me thank you for taking matthew into the kitchen. I was like I felt a prompting that I was to take him into the kitchen. It was the lord trying to make the moment right. so we went to see her on friday. The sisters and I had a wonderful visit with Amber.
They have set a baptismal date of December 19th... Just before christmas how amazing that will be. We where going to meet Ambers mom on friday we had given our lesson and amber's mom called and she said to her mom are you going to come by and meet the people from the church. her mom had forgotten but we chose to wait to close with prayer till amber's mom had gotten there. When Amber's Mom (Nancy) arrived before we closed with prayer.. Amber says to her mom will you come to my baptism... (Score we had not even said anything to her) So her mom's response was a couple things... first off did you not tell these ladies you where already baptized she said yes..and then her mom said well if I am not working midnights then yeah sure I will go to your baptism... So the sisters had arranged a ride for her for church today! And her and her 3 kids Emma who is 7 Matthew who is 5 and Nancy who is just a tiny baby all went to church today... And the sisters said she really liked it... so after her mom said yes if she didn't have to work that she would go we asked if it would be okay if we closed with prayer and if amber's mom nancy would join us and she said...YES We prayed and left.
On our way back into london Sister Olsen said it was a Miracle!!! And that if I had not been willing to go with them that one tuesday to strathroy when we went to find Eddie that they would not have found Amber who had been prepared by the lord to hear the message.. I Am super happy for Amber's family who she reads and prays with every night... that is right she reads the book of Mormon to Emma Matthew and little Nancy... And I am also happy for The sisters...
I have been blessed to see this miracle happen... I love you all and hope that you have enjoyed this blog entry as much as I have enjoyed being able to go and see Amber and Matthew with the sisters.
here is a story for you! Amber said the other day when she was having a bad day and just felt like crying that she was reading to emma matthew and nancy and she had this comfort feeling come over her.
Anyways I am off to work.... Wish you all well
Love you all
CRYSTAL
