Bugs, and Blessings, Miracles and Mormons

Hi Y'all!  So this week has been banging!  We had an exchange and while on the exchange we went tracking- 1 because I felt like it and 2 sadly because there was nothing else to do!  But I'm glad we did because we were walking past this apartment and this guy yelled down to us, "Hey do y'all do Bible study?  We told him we study the Bible, so we had a quick lesson with him.  We asked him if we could come by tomorrow night with the Elders so they could meet and he said yes!  He gave us his number- we didn't even have to ask him for it!  The next night we went to his apartment with the Elders and we found a note on the door.  Now normally when there's a note on the door it's not a good thing.  So the note told us he had to take his nephew somewhere and was really sorry, but to call him. So the next night, the Elders called and said they were meeting with this guy- Lynn in 45 minutes and could we meet them in the park.  We met and had the first lesson which is the restoration and all that good jazz.  We asked him to be baptized and he set a date!  He's going to be baptized July 20!  He came to church yesterday and loved it!  He kept saying how he's going to come every week.  He told us that even if we hadn't taught him half of the first lesson he would still have wanted to be baptized! So miracles happen :)  Just like in 1 Nephi 4:6.  We are led to places- we may not know why but the spirit knows why.
Also, one of our members had a story in the Ensign published. Here it is:

I just think it's amazing how powerful prayer is!  The church is true and our book is blue!  I heard that the other day and started to giggle :)  I love you all- send me your favorite B of M scripture.
Hope y'all have a great week!  Love you!
