Week 4

I think this may be all we get this week... :(

I wonder if it started snowing....

We emailed from a members house last week because our cars were grounded. We're over here in Wynnywood right now though at the library where we're always going to do it. and yes, TWO hours! Ha-za!

We have MANY investigators and MANY potentials and MANY miracles. Man, I'll try and say all of them in the email.

Hey hey! my cord's finally working so pics are on the way. I'm seriously praying for your guys everyday. 

The branch is great! didn't have church yesterday cause of the snow. Gosh darn it, it all melted by noon though so we could have *sigh* Okies.....

Love you guys! We need to go and get on somewhere else cause this library is closing

She ended up writing more......

Hello everyone!

Man, is this work rather fabulous or what. This week we went for another round of the grounding of the cars. The Reeders (the elderly couple serving in Paul's Valley, the area right next to ours) were driving us back to Sulphur from our District meeting on Thursday and did it start coming down. 'Twas rather scary. Okay, wait. It really wasn't that bad, but as I said before, my dear Okie's cannot drive in the snow. For a while on the highway, every fifty feet or so there was a new car that had slid off the road. No one looked hurt. Just a lot of embarrassed faces. 

So anyways, for most of the week Sister Cottle and I have been on foot. It's been so great! We keep trying to catch this potential, Ronnie, at his house. Well on Saturday we were walking by to stop in and he was "conveniently" pulling out of the driveway. Well, he wasn't getting rid of us that easily. We went for an adventure in his yard and overhang, on the hunt for a shovel. Nothing. Until Sister Call showed her wierdly gutsy side and we ran over to a neighbors house where we had spied a couple of metal gardening shovels, and proceeded to explain who we were. You know, just a couple of drenched oddballs with name tags, asking to borrow some metal shovels. (No one shovels around here). With our biggest smiles we promised to shovel her's as well. Well, Ronnie's sidewalks, driveway, and porch got shoveled. 

I absolutely love the work. I know it's what I'm supposed to be doing for the next year and a half (and, in a way, for the rest of my life). I know that he's aware of me every second of everyday. And he loves it. He loves seeing what we need (and then sometimes we don't even need it) and then showering us with those rather lovely tender mercies. He's seen Sister Cottle and I's small sacrifices, being it walking in the ice and sleet for only a FEW miles, or knocking just one more door, and he chooses to bless us and make that blessing EVIDENT. (He's always blessing us. It's not just always right in front of our faces) How did he bless us you ask? Well, drumroll please....by giving us FIVE new Investigators this week.

!!

Ah, I sure wish that I had time to tell you all about them. Three are roommates in their 20's, and the other two are single moms. 

Something that I've realized that I need to work on is having more faith. Faith that he has prepared someone out there for us that day. That there is a reason that we went out tracting that day. A reason that we're walking down that street. There IS someone. And right now, tracting is fabulous. I honestly enjoy doing it. But I've just been in the mind set that, well, it's just something that we do, you know? Just missionaries doing our stuff, trying to find people to teach. Well Sister Call, you have been called to Oklahoma for a reason and if we are being obedient, the Lord is going to trust us to put his child that he's been preparing for perhaps years in our path. We need to make sure to follow every prompting we receive for that is how he can communicate with us. We need to make sure to talk to that person that is putting groceries in his car that we simply feel like we should. If we don't do it and he's prepared, well we just lost our opportunity to teach him and the Lord is going to allow the next set of missionaries in the area to teach him. I'm sorry if all of this doesn't make the best of sense, it's just something that I've come to truly realize this past week. I know we're here for a reason and we just need to open our mouths to everyone!

I absolutely love you all! Keep the letters coming please, I had no idea that they were going to be so great or be so meaningful to me! 

Have an absolutely fabulous week. And feel His love every day.
