The Power of Prayer


No matter what your beliefs are we all offer prayers that can be answered by our faith through the power of prayer. A couple examples...when we thought our laptop had been left in the garage before departing for the office we looked everywhere even returning to the garage but no computer. We were at wit's end so Jean and I and the Elders who were in the office for a Zone Conf all offerred a 'computer prayer.' I returned to the car and hesitantly said to myself I would take one more look. And there it was, in the car where I had looked previously. Then,the office Elders were having trouble getting a baptism candidate to return their call after repeated tries. This went on for some time and finally aftter a couple weeks they deceided to offer a prayer in this persons behalf that they might be able to make contact with him. As the prayer concluded, it wasn't but 5 minutes and their phone rang with guess who.....? There is, in the mission field nothing that takes place without having a mighty prayer first. I can recommend it to everyone, because it works if you only believe in it and have the faith that it can happen. The photos this week are the Apartment and the office Christmas trees, each a whopping 2 feet tall! My 'work station', the new Warsaw 2nd Branch building and Chapel that they just moved into a couple weeks ago. Our young Single Adult representatives, Dominac and Tasha and one of the three primary children on Primary Presentation Sunday. And a couple additional differences here in Poland....the light switches are on the outside of the door rather on the inside like at home; They don't seem to like cold drinks and you ever hardly see ice, other than on the streets and when a red stoplight is about to turn green it turns yellow first where it is the opposite in the USA. Finally, they have the very coolest windows, (and some doors as well) in the apartements and offices, they open as usual but they also open a 2nd way by turning the handle the opposite way they open from the top about 6" as well. Hope you all are getting with your exercise programs cause we aren't......no time nor facilities. Maybe later on.
