I just learned tonight that we are getting 24 Missionaries on October 30th! This will be our biggest group in over two years.
This is another miracle we have seen as a result of our Mission Fast that we held on August 27th! We prayed and fasted to receive all the missionaries we've been expecting and to help prepare the people here for the temple.
On August 26th, we were only going to get 7 missionaries in September, and about the same in October because of visa issues.
Only a couple of days after the Mission Fast, our numbers jumped to 19 in September, and now we will be receiving more than we expected in October!
The Lord is definitely blessing and opening the doors for this land to receive more faithful missionaries, and to prepare the people here for the blessings of the temple!
We are seeing more and more miracles!
That’s awesome, how wonderful! Do we know when the temple is due to open? That will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe hope for the temple is somewhere around April, but still not sure!
DeleteOne of these missionaries is MINE. We are busy getting him ready to send to you. He goes to the consulate on Thursday. I am so grateful for this blog. We already feel like part of your mission family. Thank you so much for the frequent updates. I know I will appreciate them even more when he gets there.
ReplyDeleteWho is your missionary? We have been praying for these missionaries to come!
DeleteMy son is Brady Bateman. ;)
DeleteSuch wonderful blessings. I am a tad sad knowing my Missionary Elder Parisot is preparing his last 3 months there. I know he loves it so much. I am so excited to see the growth and temple attendance. So many blessings.
