Called to the Work: The Power of Prayer and Fasting

This was the first full week in my area, Woodlake & Converse. It was for sure one of miracles.

I don't even know how to describe it accurately, but prayer works. We don't know people that well and so we have been meeting people, trying to build our investigator pool from 3 to more prepared people, having meetings to get to know what is going on in the area, and we had 2 mini missionaries, Hayley and Mariah. But through all of this we have been praying to find people who spoke Spanish, who are prepared, to be guided to know where to go, to know what to teach people, what to say to the leaders in the ward to help them be excited about missionary work and to feel peace and guess what? We found people who spoke Spanish, who are prepared and are being prepared, we knew where to go, what to teach them, exactly what to say to leaders, and feel peace amidst the craziness of coming into this area.

Then yesterday we had a special fast to know how to help the members in our area be excited and begin doing missionary work, and we received specific answers we had never thought of before.

If you are looking for help, answers, peace, guidance, or more purpose, try sincerely praying and fasting! You will find what you are looking for!

As Christ says, "Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened" (3 Nephi 27:29). When you act, He will open unto you the help, answers, peace, guidance, and more purpose you seek.
