Still in Philly feat. Miracles and stuff

So it's been a pretty solid week! I've seen so many miracles It's crazy, first let me give u the rundown on who my investigators are. We have Aaron, we asked him to be baptized and he said he would if he felt church was true when he read the Book of Mormon. Then we have Wayne, he met with us and he speaks mainly Vietnamese, and he is Catholic. We taught him one lesson, asked him if he would be baptized and he said he would if he felt the church was true, but that he felt the spirit super strong he just needs to read the Book of Mormon! THEN we have Sherriff. He is an amazing man!! We go teach him for the first time, and he goes "I know this church is true, I'm willing to do whatever I need to be baptized" we taught him the lesson, and he just keeps saying he is willing to do whatever he needs and that he knows the church is true. So we ask him to be baptized on the 24th, and says "of course, this is the right path for me, I am willing". HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT!!!!!!! Then it got even better, so he has been living with his fiance, and we tell him they can't be living together in order to be baptized, and we kinda gave him a rundown of the law of chastity, and this is what he says. "I just rented a place today because I felt like living with her before being married was wrong", and this is our first lesson with him! The Lord truly prepares people to receive the gospel, and people recognize that truth, just like Sherriff. I truly know this work is true, and I'll be honest it's been hard just having to remember a lot of street addresses, and knowing which trolley or bus to get on (we don't have a car) but miracles like that help me remember why I'm out here. Love you all and miss you!
