God guides us through life

Hello Family!
    This week was another week of miracles and awesomeness and stuff
=)  So, I can´t remember if I told you about Rudolf H, but,
basically he is an 82 year old Croatian who didn´t beleive in God.  He
has been through a lot of wars and literally seen his entire family
get shot and his entire home town get lined up and gunned down.  He
said that if we went through what he went through we would know that
there was no God.  Well..... He beleives in God now and is getting
baptized in 2 weeks =)  We got him to Pray and read in the Book of
Mormon.   He told us that whenever he prayed he started to feel
important.  Then, one night, he said after he prayed everything was
very clear; he said he could look back on his life and see how God had
saved him and guided him through all of the terrible experiences that
he went through.  He said he now knows that there is a God.  After he
had that amazing experience, he went to bed, while he was sleeping, he
had a dream, guess what he dreamt about?  Baptism =)  He said that in
his dream I baptized him, so, now he wants to get baptized.  He is
getting baptized on the 31st of December, we´re way super pumped.
    This week we also had an AMAZING lesson with Wolfgang.  We had the
entire branch Presidency with us.  We ended up committing him to get
baptized this Saturday and gave him a blessing so that he could
accomplish it.  In the blessing, he was promised that if he didn´t
lose track of his goal for baptism, read and pray, he would have no
desire to smoke and he would be able to be baptized.  He told us he
was going to make it this time.... Then the next morning he had
received a bill in the mail he wasn´t expecting and it was too
stressfull for him so he smoked almost the entire day......  I just
want him to get baptized already haha.  One of these days he will do
it... but, it won´t be this Saturday =(
    Other than that, most of the other people we are meeting with are
the same.  My companion decided that he wants to go home.   We´ve been
seeing so many miracles, I can´t beleive he wants to go.  Anyway, he
is leaving on either Wednesday or Thursday.     This is the
Lord´s work, and we are still seeing miracles.  Thanks for everything
you do for me!
