A miracle my companions and I have been able to see and be apart of is Miracle Marc. Marc is an older gentleman, served in the Vietnam war, and has been through some very serious health issues. Marc approached my companions and I at the laundry mat one morning as we were doing personal study while our laundry was running. He asked us what church we belonged to because he had noticed our name tags. We proceded to tell him that we were missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! We asked him if he had ever heard of the LDS religion before. He said he had and he used to work with a bunch of LDS people. We did a very simple lesson on the restoration then focused a lot on the B.O.M. He said he had heard of the book before, so we gave him a copy and a section of it to read. He was somewhat familiar with Joseph Smith and then right before we were about to extend invitations to him he asked "well I'd like to go to your services if I had an invitation..." We almost yelled "YOU'RE INVITED!!!" We invited him out that day, and every Sunday since then he has been at church!
He has expressed several times that he loves the church and he loves how friendly everyone is. He loves being taught and learning more and more about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He always tells us how grateful he is for us and how he will do anything we ask him to do because he knows we are called of God and are only asking him to do things that will improve his life.
Marc has accepted the gospel in his life. He is getting baptized on the 8th of February!! He always tells us that the gospel has changed his life. We are such lucky missionaries to have been able to teach him and have Miracle Marc be apart of our lives!!
