Great Work

 This week flew by! It was such a great week!

Miracles!

》Rick is our friend who is on date to be baptized and he is going to make that happen! When we told Rick what the word of wisdom was he was not happy haha! But when we told him it's required to be baptized he changed his mind! The Spirit softened his heart and he was willing to change his life choices to prepare to make the covenant of baptism! This was a miracle! 

》Eric was also struggling with some of the sacrifices required to be baptized but he had a change of heart as well! Just all of a sudden he texted us saying he was willing to change! I know that this work is in God's hands! My job is just to invite and help these people to receive
the restored gospel and He will do the rest! 

》There's this one family who requested to meet with us but we missed them every time we've gone. We were planning for a lesson when I thought of this family (We didn't have a visit planned for them or anything). One of our lessons fell through so we decided to follow that prompting and visit them! On our way there we were stuck behind a school bus that made so many stops, at every red light possible, and we were going to be late for dinner if we weren't at their house at that moment! But I just had faith that these were happening for a reason and that we'll arrive at their house exactly when we need to be there. When we got there, there were people outside and their door was open!! We were finally able to talk with them and set up a time to come back and we gave the mom a Book of Mormon!! Such a cool miracle!!

It's been raining a bit this week. Actually all day yesterday! And the rain here is odd haha! It was raining super hard at times and at other times normal but there was one time it was misting! It wasn't sprinkling, it was mist in the air! So crazy! And the only other way to describe the rain here is soft. It just falls so softly😂

Fun moments:

》Our district was wanting to do "vlogs" every week with how our day went. And we had so much fun making ours! It's so awkward, it's funny😂 Unfortunately, the file is too large to send! 

》Someone running back into their house when they saw us. She was trying so hard to avoid us! 

I have learned how important members are in these lessons! Their testimonies, experiences, and friendships are needed to these people who are new to the church and are learning about the church. Everyone is a missionary! I invite you to make an effort to talk to someone new in church this week or to share your testimony!
