FASTING AND PRAYER

That´s great about Maren. When i fasted, I wrote a whole huge list of things that i was fasting for. Apparently there is no limit on how many purposes you can fast for. I was also fasting for an investigator who is living with her boyfriend but can´t get married because the boyfriend´s divorce from his first wife hadn´t come through. She really wants to get baptized, but can´t for that reason. on Tuesday they told us that the divorce was finalized and everything was set. Now they just have to get married. Another purpose was that our recent convert was jobless and was looking for quite awhile. We fasted and a week later he got a job (really miraculous because of his age...50...nobody here wants to hire people that age). Another purpose was for an investigator who does not live in our area, but is attending church here with her boyfriend. She had a doubt about Coffee and wasn´t getting an answer. We fasted and that week she told us that she got an answer that quitting coffee was indeed a commandment and that Joseph Smith is a profet (she had been fasting and praying too...she´s evangelical christian so she already knew most of the gospel pretty well). The sad part is that she decided that she doesn´t want to leave behind coffee. So now we´re not teaching her, but God answered our fast in his own way...she no longer has the doubt about coffee. I was bashing my head for weeks thinking ´why can´t we help her? Why can´t we receive revelation for our investigator? Then it hit me. Hard. Really hard. Such that it hurt. She doesn´t live in our area. We were robbing her from other missionaries (in the states we called that poaching). We don´t have the right to revelation for her. Only for those who live in our area. Well that problem was resolved through fasting. And now you tell me that Maren is doing much better. I testify that fasting really works.
