Flooded with Only Blessings

We are so grateful Irma passed by without hardly a wink.  We had some wind and rain, but no more than I have seen here before.  We pray she is as kind to Florida.

The sisters in one of our zones had a wonderful experience recently.  For two months they had been having trouble finding investigators and the members weren't helping at all. The sisters worked and worked, and were as obedient as they knew how to be and the area was dead.  They decided to have a purification fast, and ask The Lord what they needed to do to repent.  They received revelation that they needed to focus on the work, and not on distractions.  They began with this new focus and within days they had 23 referrals from the ward.

This zone is on fire.  Coincidentally (of course, we know it was not coincidence), there was a sister in our of the wards who, almost thirty years ago, had been taught the gospel and baptized by a missionary but was now less active.  But it turns out that the missionary who had baptized her thirty years ago was now the stake president and she was living in his stake.  The stake president discovered she was in her stake and told the sister missionaries who re-activated her and taught her husband the gospel and baptized him.  The stake president sat in on the lessons and now he is re-animated about missionary work. The ward is so excited about this new complete family in their ward that they are all focused on the work.  The Lord sure comes through when we give the little bit we can give, he floods us with blessings.
