Miracles

This week was a week of miracles. First off transfer calls came and I am staying here.  My new comp is Elder Alldredge. I served around him in Vincent. He is like my second brother. He loves Utah and he played Ball in high school. It will be a fun transfer!!! 

Second Miracle, Kelly-ann, Wendy, and Princess will be baptized on Saturday!!!! I am so excited! They loved conference as well. 

Third Miracle - we had a zone meeting this week and I taught on goal setting and miracles. I was prompted that we should all kneel in prayer before we set the goals so during the middle of my teaching I said before we set these zone goals lets kneel in prayer because these are not our goals but Gods goals!! The Spirit was so strong as our zone humbly knelt in prayer to call upon God for miracles to happen and solid goals to be set. We set some wicked awesome goals. And we have already seen many miracles. 

For example...

Fourth Miracle of the week... . I had a really cool experience I want to tell you about. This week we contacted a man at a members home named Lamar. He lives in the sisters area but since he was there he joined are lesson with Brother James a recent convert. We were teaching him about the temple. At the end of the lesson he asked if he could get our number. Saturday night he called and said he had read the tract, (restorand knew it was true. He told us he wanted to meet up soon and so we could talk about Baptism. Elder King and I were so happy. Sunday morning was amazing we called to go see him and to bring the sisters along so we could introduce him to the sisters. When we talked on the phone there was some miss communication and when we were driving to go to his house we saw him walking down the road very far from his home. We stopped and asked where he was going and he said you mentioned something about Conference and I was walking to find the church. We were amazed. We pulled off the road and parked at a park near the road. We walked over and in the shade of a tree we had a very spiritual and powerful lesson. He said he has been searching for truth. We talked only about the Book of Mormon and his family. He loves his little girl and wants to be a good dad and a great provider for her. He does not live with his girlfriend but he wants to get married and buy a house for them. I have never seen such a broken heart and contrite spirit in my life. He even started reading right there in front of us. He was overcome with joy. We asked him if he would follow the example of Jesus Christ and be Baptized. He started to cry he was overcome by the Spirit. He then with a huge grin on his face said I would love that. We set a date for Oct 29. We officially now have handed them over to the sisters. But it was truly a miracle. That day he did come to Conference, and he received and overwhelming feeling of joy. He loved every minute of it.  

The Lord is ever so present here in The Great Grenada Zone. He is blessing us for our desire to be exactly obedient and faithful servants of God. I feel like the great scripture in Alma 26:11-12 

when Ammon the great missionary was speaking he said I do not boast in my own strength, nor my own wisdom, but behold my joy is full yea my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. Yea I know that I am nothing as to my strength I am weak. Therefore I will not boast of myself but I will boast of my God, For in his strength I can do all things, Yeah and behold many MIGHTY miracles we have wrought in Grenada for which we will praise his name forever.

I absolutely loved Conference. I loved the talk about the truck and how we all need to gear down and work together. Also I loved the simple but yet powerful words of our beloved Prophet Thomas Monson. I love the power of the Atonement that no matter where we are and what we have done. We can change. I loved the that President Uchtdorf taught us how he drinks a Diet soda as well. If he does we all should it makes life happy. haha Dad you're now justified in the Diet Mt. Dew. But most importantly I want you all to know that I know Jesus Christ lives and loves us all so much. 

Love, Elder Dixon
