Aaaand another miracle (This might be a long story so bear with me). We were on exchanges and I was with Elder Ridgwell. We had a lesson that fell through and knocked on someone's door that we're teaching, but they weren't home. Then we saw a family across the street and went up to them and talked with them. It was a fairly normal contact, they were nice, and we set a return appointment the next day and walked away. Then the dad starts running up to us and thanks us over and over for stopping by. He says it's an answer to his prayers because his daughters are really struggling with life and he doesn't know how to help them. We asked if he felt his prayers were being answered and he said no so we left him with a cliffhanger that when we come back tomorrow, we will teach him a way to pray that he will get answers. He was really excited. So the next day rolls around and I'm with Elder Nelson and we stop by to teach them. He opens the door before we even get there and his whole family is in chairs waiting for us. The only way I can describe it is reverently waiting to be taught. So we start with a prayer and teach a little bit about the Plan of Salvation and how God loves them because the daughters are struggling with self worth. We then taught about prayer and how to pray (a lot of people in the south pray to Jesus instead of Heavenly father). Then we knelt with all of them and the dad (his name is Morris) said the prayer. When we ended he juts kept saying he felt it and the family all hugged and everyone was happy (because the spirit was there). It was such an amazing experience and we're going back tomorrow to introduce the Book of Mormon to them.
