THEY FOUND US!!!! Those who need Heavenly Father's help will be guided to it!! And i am SO GRATEFUL that I get to be a part of that help!!
Sister Brock and I went to our investigator (Steph) s home. We didn't have anything scheduled, but we felt prompted to stop by. While we were there sister Brock remembered this relief society activity at the church, so we convinced Steph to come with us, and her kids would stay with the babysitter that was there. While we were at the church for the activity Steph seemed really uncomfortable at first, but slowly started to get more comfortable, and she started talking more. She got so comfortable that sister brick and I didn't have to stay by her side the whole time. Shortly after Steph started getting more comfortable we heard someone come into the church house, which was weird because everyone we were expecting was already there.
A lady in our branch went to see who it was, and she came to get me and sister Brock. When we went out there were two girls we had never seen before. They were looking for a class and they were kinda lost. We introduced ourselves to each other. Their names are Josephine and Isabelle's. They asked if we had that specific class going on. We said no, but if they came back the next night we might be able to help them.
The next night we met at the church and we decided to give them a church tour. (a church tour is exactly that, most people don't actually know how an LDS church building is set up or how the service works, so you show them the chapel and classrooms that they will be in, when they'll be in there, what they'll do in there, etc.) At the end of the church tour we were in the relief society room and we asked if they had any questions before we actually taught them. Isabelle said "yeah, I've been wondering how I can get baptized?" then Josephine said “yeah, I would love to get baptized too, and can kids get baptized?" We told them yes, and the process of getting to a point where they can be baptized (receive all of the missionary discussions, and be interviewed) and they were so excited about it!! We then talked to them about the restoration, and all four of us almost started crying, the spirit was so strong!! That lesson was one of the most powerful and spiritual experiences of my life!! They set their baptismal date for December 12th!!!!
Heavenly Father knows the best things that will help his children, and even if they don't realize it... They are being guided exactly where they need to be! He watches out for us! He gives us the support and strength and comfort we ALL need!! I feel like a lot of (if not all) my emails talk about the great love our Father in Heaven has for us!! But it is SO TRUE!!! There is Nothing truer or more significant than the fact that He loves us SO MUCH!!! His great love for us is the source of EVERYTHING we have, ALL that we are, and without Him we would be completely and infinitely lost. We wouldn't even be here.
