Letter from Sister Kara Cook
Holy cow this week has literally been insane! But get ready for some miracles because between all the quarantine and conference calls and virus there is a beautiful silver lining….
Wednesday we had like 30 mins left of the 5-7 and we knocked into this very kind man who had the best intentions but talked to us for a good 20 mins and was not interested at all. As we were walking from the door, we were a little unsatisfied because while he was nice it didn’t really fulfill our purpose. We knocked a few more doors which didn’t lead to much and at 7, we decided to knock one more door. This supper sweet girl opened the door and she was so excited to see us and learn about the church and we set up a time to meet again. AND THEN later that night she texted us and said, “Well it was wonderful meeting you, I prayed this morning that Jesus would help me enrich my prayer life and wow talk about how quickly he answers ?” SO TRUE! GOD IS SO GOOD! ….the bishop called….He said that there was a part-member family that just moved into the ward and they had JUST CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM THEY WANT TO BE BAPTIZED! This literally never happens!! We called them up right away went over to see them, they are so cool! He grew up a member but fell away a while back and she has been exposed to the church a lot of times but was never ready until now! And they have 3 little boys one of which is old enough and wants to be baptized with his mom! GET THIS! We called them last night to say a prayer with them and they were like, “sorry, one sec while we pause The Restoration” THEY WERE LITERALLY WATCHING THE RESTORATION FOR FUN AND WE DIDN’T EVEN TELL THEM TOO OR SHOW THEM HOW! It was so crazy!
Anyways, we’ve had lots of other cool miracles because our mobility has been limited we’ve been calling random people from white pages that live in Medford and we actually talked to this guy who has been taught by missionaries before. We had a good 30 minute conversation with him about the Book of Mormon and at the end he was like, “wow I think I need to give this another try” and we were like “YES YES YOU DO ITS TRUE! ” We’re going to give him a ring in a few days and see how his Book of Mormon reading has been going. NOTHING CAN STOP THIS WORK FROM PROGRESSING….Love you all!
