Wow, this week has been eventful. To start off, our friend Moruf is doing really great. We met with him for the 2nd time this Wednesday and I am so impressed with the progress he is made. We taught him the plan of salvation and he had a question on why God would give us agency. Oddly enough, Moruf answered the question himself. He says, "I know, it's because God loves us". Every aspect of the plan of salvation, even the part where we experience opposition, is evidence of God's love for us. It is once we have this eternal perspective that we see our trials as opportunities to grow and to turn to Christ.
Our friend Martin is not doing so well. We went over on Wednesday to read the Book of Mormon with him and his Mum answered and said that Martin was stressing too much about the church. She requested that no one visit anymore and even gave us back his book of mormon. I was so sad to see Martin make that choice but we are praying that his heart will be softened and that he will reach out the missionaries when he is ready to do so.
Sister Mueller and I also had a fairly scary experience Thursday night. We were traveling back from a thanksgiving meal at a member's home and took a tight turn too fast and ended up having a head-on collision with a railway bridge. We got to spend a few hours in the A&E (accident and emergency) in the hospital just to make sure nothing was broken. Sister Mueller actually did fracture her wrist but both of our chests are ok (they though that with the airbag and the seatbelts that we may have hurt our sternum or ribs). We've spent the last few days just resting in our flat because of soreness and bruising but all in all we are doing alright. So many people have told us that it could have been a lot worse so I know we were being protected that night. We're planning on jumping back into things tomorrow, which should be exciting. Also, I'll attach a photo of our car after the accident. It looks pretty nice.
Well that's all for this week. This is the Lord's work and it has been amazing to see the miracles wrought by his hand.
