A miracle at UCO

Elder Wold is doing great! He called this week and told us about a miracle that took place. They were at UCO (University of Central Oklahoma) campus and they prayed specifically to find someone who was ready to hear the gospel. They felt that they should pray to find someone wearing white shoes and a pink shirt. 

As they walked around campus a girl in white shoes and a pink shirt with black hair walks by and so they stopped her. It turns out that she was wanting to find a church that lets the congregation participate in the church service. Elder Wold and his companion told her about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how members of the congregation get up and bear their testimonies and are are asked to participate in the church meeting. (Giving opening and closing prayers, and talks)

A few days later they met with her and talked to her about the church and she has been really receptive to the gospel.

Watching General Conference in Wichita Falls, Texas

Elder Wold is doing great and watched general conference with Elder Vogt and Elder Kestner and with the  Woodward family in Wichita Falls, Texas. He loved Conference and especially Pres. Nelson’s talk about repentance. 

They had interviews and exchanges last week and they got to go back to the OU campus. A random guy at OU asked them to come to his class on campus for a project he was doing. He asked them to talk about their beliefs for 5 minutes, so they touched on the restoration. Elder Wold said the students were interesting and they were able to clear up a lot of questions the students had about the church. 

A couple of crazy things happened in the last week. His locked up bike was stolen last Sunday while on a college campus. Someone cut through the lock. It’s the second bike he’s had stolen while on his mission. 

Also, in Elder Wold’s apartment one night last week, they were woken up at 12:30am by their fire alarm. It started blaring all of a sudden and so they walked around their apartment complex to figure out what was going on. They never figured it out and so they just packed their bags and slept at another mission apartment.

They were also able to go to a baseball game in Tulsa this week on pday. They saw a semipro team called the Drillers.
