A LITTLE MIRACLE

This is Luis with Elder Cloward and Elder Anderson on a P-Day activity this week

Luis Illescas is a great young man in our Branch.  He is working towards serving a full time mission but in the meantime he often does splits with our full time Elders.  He is a great missionary in his own right as he shares the gospel with many of his friends and often brings one of them to church or to church activities.  His facebook has many testimonies of the gospel.

In our District meeting, each week, we share a miracle that happened to us that week.  The young Elders have many wonderful miracles to share.  We had one this week.  We bought a TV and a DVD player to use in our JAS activities.  We called our Elders Anderson and Cloward to bring us a DVD to see if it worked.  They brought over a stack of church videos.  We laughed, "We only needed one."   "Well, you never know when you might need one."  they said.  And they were right.  A few days later Luis was on facebook at the same time Mike was and sent Mike a message that he needed a video about the Plan of Salvation for a friend that was at his house and had questions. We had just the video, thanks to the Elders.   He lives close to us so we said we would bring it over.  I had just baked cookies to take around to the Young Adults as we visit them, so I took a pile of cookies and we went to their home.  Luis wanted us to come in and help answer questions, which we did.  Mike did some gospel explanations in Spanish, even.  We passed out the cookies.  Luis put in a movie and we all had a great missionary experience.
