Miracles # 1-7

mom note:  I didn't post last week's letter: it was super short and so here is this weeks wonderful news! and I didn't edit any thing so :

Well Monday was Memorial Day so no Emailing then and yesterday Elder Phelps woke up feeling AWFUL and sooo emailing got pushed to today!! On the bright side Elder Phelps is feeling better today!
Wow what a week we had SOOO much happen first off i will name off the meetings we had: our regular Sunday pile (3 hour block, 1 hour coordination meeting, emergency branch council, and then lunch... ;) 
on Thursday we had Zone Conference and that takes all day, All four of us missionaries meeting together to discuss lessons that we are attending all together in the week, and then our regular scheduled services. We unfortunately ;) had too much to do on Friday and Weekly planning fell through the cracks.
So now you have seen our mess of life, here are the miracles
#1 Sc**t ... He is amazing and wonderful last Wednesday we went over to his place to have dinner and teach him a lesson, he made us a roast in a crock pot... yeah we were spoiled!! we then had a rather scatter brained lesson that went all over the place, normal with him, that wended with us bearing pure testimony to him of The Book of Mormon. The spirit was there and it was good!
He works night shift and the next afternoon we got a text from him that said this "Hey Elders i want to thank you for all that you have done you have brought the Lord with you into my home and that is a rare thing. You guys have something right going on..." I stopped dead walking when i read it and had to hand the phone to Elder Phelps because i was speechless, he punched the air in excitement!
#2 The Zone Conference... Revelation any one? Not only was it great to see friends and others but I received Revelation that was hard to swallow for at the time, suffice is to say I need my mind in the mission till the clouds wipe it out of my mind. 
#3&4 Pa**s and B**ea, they are back on the horse! We taught them a lesson that we blatantly said was a reboot for them and us, we taught them about the restoration Via the introduction to The Book of Mormon and their friend Jessica was there and we invited her to be baptized and she accepted so she is now investigating the church also!
#5 The chance to slow down on Sunday and take the sacrament.
#6 our best member to us right now in the branch is Brother And Sister Mcallister. He is part of the Janesville (small outlining town in our area) city council and he had some friends over for a game night about 3 weeks ago. we went over the next day with their home teacher, well one of them the other was in Europe, and they told us all about it. Then coming home from Zone conference we all decided to be diligent and stop by a LA member in Janesville they weren't home but we walked around the corner to wait for the other elders to pick us up again, they had left to make the drop off seem more like we had no way home, we saw Brother Mcallister waving us down at the end of that street that we had turned down and hollering at us. We walked over to him and he bought us all dinner and then talked to us about some new developments with his Friends that he had over a couple weeks before, An**e and Br*d are the Parents, their little daughter had suddenly gotten very sick and nothing could be diagnosed other than she was loosing white blood cells fast. So he had offered to come over with us and his father in law who was in town and give her a blessing on Friday morning (why we didn't have Weekly Planning), the spirit was there heavily during the blessing and it wasn't very weird to them because they are active Pentecostals, they give blessings to the sick and afflicted at the beginning of every church service there with oil and everything just minus the priesthood.
#7 O***ia is the daughters name and within 24 hours of the blessing she was diagnosed with Strep Throat!!! the Priesthood is REAL!!!
#8 The Family has TONS of questions and we are going over to the Mcallister's to help him answer those questions here soon. PRAY FOR THEM THIS IS A FAMILY OF 6 PEOPLE THREE OF WHICH CAN BE BAPTIZED!
Well it was a busy week but a good week,
Have a Great Day,
Elder Daniel Keeley
