Our ward here in Washington is doing a 40 day fast, which basically every member chooses one day to fast. So I signed up for today, which I wasn't sure what I was doing it for until the missionaries called the night before. They asked me to fast for their appointment they had with an investigator, that she might be open minded to the teachings of the Gospel and just for everything to go well in general. They also asked me to fast that they might find more investigators to teach. I of course gladly accepted and did my fast starting and closing with a prayer.
I thought about what I was fasting for all day and really kept the prayer I started with in my heart that the missionaries might be successful in their meeting with the investigator but also they would be successful out in the field today. I also kept my brother in-law Logan in my mind and heart today as he is out serving the Lord in Buenos Aires, Argentina on his mission. What a hard but rewarding job it must be to serve the Lord every day for two years. I really came to have a deeper love and respect than ever for all they do for the Lord and His Church.
Anyways, the missionaries called me tonight to let me know the meeting went very well, but not only that they also found 4 more investigators that have committed to prayer and reading The Book of Mormon. My heart could not be fuller, and my testimony more strengthened by there good news, it brought tears to my eyes. It just goes to show how powerful fasting and prayer is, and how essential it is in the Lord's work. I'm going to bed a happy girl tonight :)
