Miracle week!

This week was a miracle!!

Sister Cook and I have been trying so hard to do our best in this area and i feel like this week we really saw the blessings from it.

Miracle #1 on Tuesday we went to teach a recent convert we have been working with who has been struggling a lot lately. Normal she is always a lone at her house and but when we got there she was yelling something at someone up stairs, when we went in she told us that she had a friend upstairs. She initially said he wasn't interested, but with a little push she called him down stairs and we got to teach Arthur our first investigator lesson in probably 2 months. It was so AWESOME!

Miracle #2 on Wednesday almost the same thing happened. I was on exchanges with a Sister who was just reassigned here from Ukraine, We were having a weird day BUT it was like 8:00 and we had an appointment set up with a less active that we've been struggling to met with and we go over and he has a friend there with him! We started to teach the Restoration but Sawyer (the friend) told us he didn't believe in God, but that he wanted to and we just had this amazing lesson with him and it was sooo good!

Miracle #3 On Saturday we went on exchanges to with some sisters who are in a brand new area, and so we spend 7 hours tracting. and there is no exaggeration in that. We knocked doors for 7 hours and the rest of the time we were walking to and from referrals they had and street contacting people. By the end of the day my feet were killing me, i was SUPER burned (yes i now have a sweet t-shirt tan) and i was a little frustrated that NO ONE let us in, BUT then sister Cook came to exchange back and she had taught 2 of our potential investigators, and met and taught a new investigator. made mad a total of 5 that week!!!

Miracle #4

On Sunday Sawyer came to church! He stayed all 3 hours and an extra hour for linger longer. He was so awesome, he was participating in class and he was loving it (Except the singing) It was so exciting. And him and his Friend Jerry (the less active that we've been teaching)  made plans with some of our ward member to come to FHE and then go to the beach on Friday. It was so awesome!!!

Ahh it was just the best week in a LONG TIME haha we were so excited and it has just strengthened my testimony that God is always mindful of what we are doing, and that if we are working hard, and doing whats right he sees it, and will bless us for it.

Other then that....I had a really awkward encounter of a guy asking my on a date...  i tried to explain to him that i was a missionary and didn't date for 18 months, but that we would love to teach him about the gospel...he then said he didn't want to talk to us for 18 months until we weren't missionaries.... My companion and I had a GOOD LONG laugh at that later, but it was so creepy at the time.

Anyways I hope you are all having a good summer so far :)

thanks for always writing me

I love you all, and i love being a missionary :)
