Cereal 🥣

10/17/2022

Yo! What a beautiful time here in Long Island New York. Just enjoying it before it gets super cold once again. It's been raining a lot so the snow might happen soon... nothing super crazy has been happening lately, still just trying to help our friends work towards baptism which is always exciting! There are 2 miracles I would love to share with you all, the first one is like such a crazy miracle that I am super grateful for. So we were out contacting people and we ran into a member that was from out of town, here just for work. So we talked for just a short little bit and he gave us 40 dollars for my companion and I to have a nice meal that night!! That was absolutely so nice having him do that since like honestly we don't have the greatest meals. So we decided to either have a very good meal for one day or have good meals for a couple weeks, we decided on the couple weeks.... so we went and got cereal! This is the best cereal ever!!!!!!!

The second Miracle I want to share is with a friend we are teaching. So the story begins with us walking out of the church to start contacting people and then he was just in the church parking lot sitting in his parked car on his phone. We went up and starting talking and then we were able to have a good conversation that lead to us showing him the church building. We were able to show him and then he had time to talk still since he was on break from work so we sat down in the chapel and taught him the Restoration. That lesson was one of the most powerful, spiritual lesson I have ever had!!!! It was amazing, it almost brought me to tears when we had him close his eyes and picture Joseph Smith's experience in the garden of trees as we shared it with him. We all opened our eyes after we shared Joseph Smith's experience and we asked him how he felt and what he saw and pictured, he described it and it was super amazing what he described and saw. We showed him a picture of Joseph Smith in the Garden and he almost fell off his chair and maybe almost drop a bad word... hehe but he said "that is exactly what I saw" it was amazing the Spirit was so strong! He accepted a day to be baptized!!! New York is so blessed and we see Miracles everyday! Love you all have an amazing week!
