Martyna Miracle

Its gonna be quick so I will jump right into it. 

On Tuesday night we were looking through the area book, we pulled out some names of a few old investigators from a few years back that we felt like we should call. There was one named Martyna that seemed really promising and stood out for some reason. but her phone number didn't work. The next day we recieved a self- referal of someone requesting the missionaries with a different phone number. Her name was Martyna. We were like no way it can't be. ( ps. almost everyone has the same name in Poland it is ver common to have the same name haha wierd). We called the number. It worked, but she didn't answer. We texted her and she said she really wanted us to come over, we asked when and where, she didn't respond, we resent the message the next day, she didn't respond. btw, everything during this day was not working out, absolutely no one would listen doors were slamming in our face one after the other. We were getting down...Elder Mulder Mentioned, something like dang," whats going on, I thought  that Martyna girl was going to be prepared and accepting". Then I was like " yeah this day sucks, but whatever lets just punch satan back in the face". He was like" yeah buddy, lets find her!" Then I said," If she is ready, then God will lead us to her". So we set off, onl knowing the street by which she lived.

We got there and it was lined with tons of big apartment buildings, we were like" heck yeah, lets roll!" so we started knocking. Probably about 60 doors slam in our face, ok probably 50, 10 of them closed it nicely. (not an exageration ha) We hit the next aprtment building thinking this is going to be the last one, we get to the top of the stairs, and knock at this door. While we are waiting we notice a picture of salt lake city in the hailway of this apartment building. We were baffled!! haha why would a picture of Salt Lake be in this ghetto apartment building in the middle of poland?! The lady answeded, she slammed the door :( A couple no answers later and a couple more slammed doors we hit the last one on the bottom and this young mother answers the dooor talks to us for a sec and invites us back in the folowling week!! That boosted our spirits enough, to say if we hurry we got time for one more before the end of the night. We go to the next building, scale the stairs knock the door, this young mother about 28 answers, warmly welcomes us in, super super happy and polite, sits us down gets us some water and food. and we are thinking, like what is happening here?! We ask her name, she says Martyna!!! We look at eachother start laughing super relieved , ha almost crying, and she was a little confused and then we explained how we were literally led right to her! and that she is ready to progress again, the spirit was soooo strong!!! We testified about how the gospel blesses familes and stuff and the spirit was so strong! she said she was going to ponder on Baptism and stuff, and we are meeting with her regularly! It was insane. We were so pumped so grateful and honored to be missionaries of God and literally led by him! Missions are awesome. If any of you are thinking about serving, do it, it will change your life for the better more than you can imagine.
