A week of miracles

This has been another great week! Our two main investigators right now, 신효면 and 구병철 are both doing great! They both are pretty excited to be baptized and now we're just working on helping them use that desire to keep the commandments and overcome any challenges. They are so amazing!!
 
We didn't have a lot of appointments this weekend, so we spent some time in the Subway because there's lots of people waiting around and it's warm enough for people to actually want to have a conversation. We ended up having pretty miraculous success within in the last couple days as we prayed to find people willing to listen and God seems to be answering those prayers. There was a pastor who walked up to us, said he was really interesting in learning about our church, and we set up an appointment for tomorrow. We also met a man yesterday that said he wants to find religion and to stop smoking and drinking. There was another man who used to have religion, but never really felt like he understood it or felt sufficient and we might be able to meet with him this week. I know that God really is aware of us and helps us to accomplish His will according to our faith!
 
We are reading the Book of Momon from start to finish this transfer as a Zone and one of the scriptures that stood out to me recently was 1 Ne. 21:15-16. It talks about how Christ will never forget us because we are engraven upon the palms of His hands. He cannot forget and He never will forget. He knows us perfectly and knows How to succor us in every need and every trial (Alma 7:11-13). Let's not forget Him, especially this season. A big part of that is not denying the fact that He not only suffered for us, but also for all those around us! Let's have faith that the atonement applies to them too and that there is nobody that is not worth inviting to come unto Christ through the restored Gospel. I know that as we have faith in the Atonement and seek opportunities to invite others, we will be blessed with the ability to do so!
 
Have a wonderful week!
 
Love, Elder Tolman
