Miracles! That's how I want to start off this weekly letter. Wow I have seen so many incredible miracles this week. The Lord is truly blessing us. We have been really working on building up our area, on finding and teaching and eventually baptizing! We have been walking A LOT, well compared to what we were used to, and we are being blessed for doing so! One thing that I love, that my incredible trainer taught me, is talking to EVERYONE. People are put into your path for a reason and it is our job to find out why! So we were walking down the street in Muscoy, (which by the way is a place where they don't walk their dogs, they walk their horses, or rather ride their horses down the street) anyway, we saw a woman out washing her car. We approached her and asked her if we could help her, she kindly declined and said that she had just finished, (seems like we are always too late!) But we chatted for a few moments, told her who we were and who we represent. We asked if we could share a message with her and she invited us to come over in a couple hours. We returned and taught her and her two kids and niece about the plan that God has for us. The mother Elvira, expressed how she has been wanting to go to church and wants to teach and raise her kids about Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. They are excited and eager to learn and invited us to come back on Tuesday.
Miracle numero dos: We were visiting Jennifer, one of our recent converts the other day, but she wasn't home. We got to the car and were about to leave but I felt that we couldn't yet, and I wasn't sure why, we then decided that we should leave a note, we did but I still felt uneasy about leaving there was some other reason we were supposed to be there. I was staring at a house and I said, "Hna, we need to knock on that door", and so for a third time we got out of the car and walked to the house. I had NO idea what we were going to say when they came to the door (for those of you who don't know, we don't tract, we are told only to knock on a door if we felt impressed) But this was an impression alright, so we knocked. About 5 of 6 kids came to the door with a woman and a teenage girl. We started talking to them about their neighbor (our recent convert) and then introduced who we were. They had never heard of our church, so we asked if they had ever heard of Mormons, they hadn't either. We told them that that was our nickname, based on a book that we believe, The Book of Mormon. (This is a great way to introduce the Book of Mormon to anyone by the way) I pulled my blue copy and flipped to the front pages where the pictures are and started describing what they Book of Mormon is based off of the pictures. Thy kids were all engaged and quite during it all, which I was so surprised! When I finished the teen-aged girl, named Diana, said, "fresh". I couldn't help but laugh haha. Long story short we started teaching her and she loves it! :)
I know that as we are obedient and follow the promptings of the spirit we will see miracles everyday. I am so grateful for the hand of the Lord in all things :)
I love you all a miss you!
