This week we have seen miracles!
We have
been on the bikes practically everyday, fixin' to see some miracles. We
had a few funny moments when we left the apartment in the morning,
hitting the bikes for a about 5 minutes, ready to take on the world, and
then having worried zone leaders calling us, telling us to go back
inside for a few minutes for shelter because of the weather. Silly zone
leaders. They're funny though, Elder Butterfield and Moe, just listening
to the spirit and trying to keep us safe. We had some good laughs as we
were riding back.
We were rather discouraged
for a minute when I got here because the area wasn't doing so great. But
with a good amount of prayer and faith in the Savior and each other, we
were able to set a vision. We've seen some miracles from it already! We
were biking down the street and this woman with her daughter is getting
out of their car. We stop to talk to them. Her daughter had a little
more energy and so Sister Jensen and I divided and conquered. She began
to play soccer with the little girl, Nevaeh, as Sister Call spoke with
the mom, Amber. She's been through a great deal, but she has the most
incredible faith through it and so because of that along with the
spirit, the Lord blessed us to be able to get in and teach them the
Restoration! I love it because people know their bible down here and so
being able to see so many dots being connected in their eyes, especially
concerning Christ establishing his gospel on the earth and then the
great apostasy, it's incredible. And it's incredible because it's true! I
love this true church.
And then later on that
night we were able to teach a Less active woman, Sister Bass and her
non-member grandson, Richard. The spirit was incredible. And they both
came to church on Sunday! It was actually stake conference and so I was
blessed to be able to see some members of the Mustang 1st ward, my old
area! It was very humbling and touching, especially seeing the Stott
family! (hopefully you're reading this now Stotts. Love you guys!)
The
Lord is in charge of this work. I know it's true. Sister Jensen and I
were really able to experience the promise given to Joseph Smith and all
of us in D&C 84:88 "Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye
shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life,
and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be
meted unto every man." Throughout our lessons this week, the spirit has
been present so strongly. The Lord knows the individual sitting in front
of you, of course He does! And so don't be prideful and get in the way
of the spirit but instead let him lead. I know He will if you allow him
too.
Once again, and I can't say it enough,
I'm grateful to be a part of this great work and continue to be so
after! It should never stop and if it does, that means that we're doing
something wrong. This gospel changes lives and it's just too important
not to share.
Love you all!
