This week, we have felt really blessed. The Lord has definitely been watching out for us. I have definately witnessed His hand.
The
week started out awesome when and appointment went through. You are
probably wondering how that is awesome. Well it also managed to mess
with our plans for the rest of the day. Because of that we had to really
sit and think of where we needed to be, because obviously it wasn't
where we had planned. After some thought, discussion, and prayer we
finally decided to try someone back who had hung up twice when we tried
to call. Obviously this is why what happened earlier happened. As we sat
and talked with this lady we found out that someone had been prank
calling her house and so she had been hanging up the phone to try to get
the to stop. As we sat and explained to her what we did as missionaries
she couldn't believe it, as we changed our focus to Christ and how he
can help us in our lives, tears came to her eyes, she told us that no
one had every really explained things about God to her in such simple
terms. She had lots of questions, mainly because she couldn't believe
that two 20 year olds girls would give up there life to talk to people
about God. As we talked about trials and God, she explain some of the
things that were bother her, and we got a chance to introduce to her the
Book of Mormon. We also lent her a CD of songs about Christ, which she
loved! there was the most powerful spirit there, stronger than I have
felt the first time meeting someone before.
We ended up going back over last night and teaching
her about the Restored Gospel and prophets. Again the Spirit followed
and it was strong! She again couldn't believe that the leaders of the
church were voluntary and that the church was teaching the same thing
all over the world in different countries. It is funny, because we go on
a lot of tangents, because she has a lot of questions. There is no
better way to teach than addressing peoples questions and talking open
and honestly with one another. She is so awesome and definitely just
looking for more in her life.
Other than that there were many things that happened
this week, but one other especially close to my heart was Leti. We have
been talking with her quite a bit and the other day we went over and
she was struggling with some homework, normally i would help her, but I
had never taken the class before and didn't know how to use the program.
We didn't want to distract her and so we just told her aabout prayer
and how it can truely help us with anything. She asked us to pray for
her that she could have help on her homework, so we did. We then
encouraged her to pray and left. The next time we went by she had
received a witness that prayer really works, she took our advice and
said that it helped a lot and then she told us that she was planning on
coming to church this Sunday and then she came! It is amazing what happens when people realize that they can talk to God and that he really does care.
So many other things that I could say, but I don't
have the time as if i was sitting face to face with you all. But I have
been Studying about Unity and the importance of being United in a common
goal. As I study this i am in the war chapters of the Book of Mormon,
and if anything witnesses to me about the importance of Unity with God
and with one another it is those Chapters. Staying close and Unified
with God makes us the winner, every time. As we try to be more like
Jesus we automatically become more in Unity with God. He love us and he
answers prayers, i have seen it, I know it to be true.
The other day i was asked if i personally believed
in miracles. As an answer to that i replied absolutely!I God is watching
out for us. love you all, and hope that you can find time to draw
yourself closer to Jesus Christ. It will benefit you more than any other
way that you could spend your time. As we get closer to him we can see
the smaller miracles happening all around us. Have a great week!
