June 11th 2012- After All We Can Do

Hello Everybody,

 

I remember my last few weeks in Newbury, when Daniel was nearing his baptism.  Me and my companion would go out and get "Daniel Points" by knocking doors and talking to everybody.  Our diligence had an impact on Daniels preparation.  Here in Crystal Palace, we have been working really hard, but nothing much has happened until last night. 

 

On Saturday night I was really discouraged, because my companion had been sick all week.  We had spent a lot of time in the flat and on Saturday when we actually could get out and work.  We had three appointments which all fell through.  So I knelt down on Saturday night before bed and asked Heavenly Father for a miracle the next day.  I was hoping that we would have someone make it to church.  Which didn't happen.  But my prayer was answered in a miraculous way.  So we got a lift from a family in our ward back to our flat.  For some reason they decided to drop us off at the Bus Station instead of our flat.  It is about a five minute walk.  They could've easily drove to our flat.  But I wanted to be polite and thanked them for the ride.  As we walked through the station.  I saw a man with his girlfriend and he looked at us and said something to her.  I thought they were just making fun of us so I kept on walking.  As I sauntered down the hill, I was pretty dejected and sad.  All of the sudden right before we turned onto our road.  This man came up behind us and approached us.  He told us after that he wanted to talk to us so bad, but was scared to.  He almost walked into a shop and bought a water bottle, but he said he heard a voice that told him to come talk to us and get living water rather than bottled water which would run out.  So anyways after he approached us he told us he had been studying the bible and particularly about the power of healing.  He has a liver condition that potentially could threaten his life.  We talked to him about the restoration of the Priesthood and he asked us if we could come to his home and give him a blessing.  To make a long story short, we went to his flat, taught him about the Restoration of the gospel and committed him for baptism on July 7.  The day after his birthday, we gave him a blessing and the whole time the spirit was so strong.  His name is Adrian Littley and he is an awesome guy.  So many miracles made this happen.  So many little minute things had to happen to make this possible.  The Lords hand was definetely in it. 

 

Now we just need to get some "Adrian Points".  It seems that when we try our hardest nothing happens from our efforts.  But Heavenly Father blesses us with amazing miracles after all we can do.  I am praying that Adrian will continue with his faith and continue to be awesome.  I hope you all have miraculous experiences in which you can share the gospel with someone.

 

Love,

Elder Price
