A lot of miracles happened again this week and one of the biggest was we were struggling finding new people to teach so we stopped in the middle of the road and prayed. When we finished praying my companion turned to me and said to choose a road. So I chose a road and we started to walk down that road and we made a goal that we would talk to everyone on that road... and that's exactly what we did. We talked to everyone and we made a lot of contacts that day. We made about 16 contacts that day and even went back to teach some of them.
