Activity a Success!

Hey everybody! It sounds like you are all doing really well. The activity went so good! We had about 50 members show up and 13 missionaries to "attack" Crevillente. We split the little town up into 6 zones and made a group for each one. The missionaries split up and went out with members because it just works better that way. The first half of the day I went out with Jose Garro our deaf member because I was the only one in the group that could communicate with him. It was a little hard because I had to do all the talking and I´m not used to that but he really was a big help. It seemed like all the people I talked to knew him and I think that was a big reason they even let me talk to them. It was funny though because I´d be talking about something like how Jesus Christ established His church when he was on the earth and then Jose would just shove a word of wisdom pamphlet in their face and I´d have to try and apply it to what I was talking about haha. I definitely had to be on my toes. For the second half of the day I went out with the branch presidents son. He is a deacon and was a little timid to talk to people but I think he was a little more comfortable by the end. It was a good experience for both of us. Well after all the work we did that day we ended up with 57 referrals! That is a ton of people! We have a ton of work to do over the next few weeks but I´m excited to get started. The members really want to be involved so it helps a ton. I know we are going to get some baptisms out of this. I hope its while I´m still here but if I leave Crevillente with some baptismal dates I will be just as happy. I want to tell you about a miracle that happened on Saturday. Towards the end of the day, the branch presidents son and I headed back to the chapel and I went in looking for my companion. A member told me he was in one of the rooms teaching a lesson with a different member. We had a testimony meeting right then so I just left him alone to teach so I didn´t walk in right in the middle to interrupt. Well the meeting passed and everybody was leaving so I ended up going into the lesson with my companion. I introduced myself and sat down. While we were talking I found out that they had called the church earlier that day and one of the members picked the phone up and had invited them to come see what it was all about. We asked them what inspired them to call the church that day because normally members aren´t there to pick up the phone. He said at his home the phone book fell off the shelf and opened up to a page. When he looked down he saw the churches name and decided to call. It was that simple. We testified that it wasn´t a coincidence and that really coicidences don´t happen. Everything happens for a reason and they were there to hear the truth. So now we are teaching this couple and they are really interested! It was fun to see something like that happen. I know God is a God of miracles and that He works according to our faith. The members and missionaries had faith and they showed it through work. Thats why God blessed us. I hope I have a lot of success stories to report over the next few weeks. I appreciate all that you do for me! Thanks for being the best and have a great week. I love you all. Love, Élder Langston
