Most INCREDIBLE WEEK EVER! Wow everyone I cannot even express to you the joy I feel as a missionary. I can not express to you how many miracles I have seen this week and how real God is.
First and foremost we had our BIG training this week! This is the biggest training this transfer where us and the APs got to address the entire mission. After lots of praying and lots of counseling we came up with the outline we felt God needed us to share. Being loyal to God, the mission president and your companion. I talked about being loyal to your companion and to be honest I was so NERVOUS! This part of the training was all on me. I didn’t want to mess it up. When I began speaking the spirit overcame me and I had the very words to say. It came out exactly how it needed to. Later that night I was on exchanges with a sister in Boise. She received news that her closest cousin passed away. I was there to see the pain come over her. I sat with her and comforted her until my companion, her companion and president and Sister Maxwell came to also comfort her. On the way home sister Maxwell, through tears in her eyes, told us how much she needed us in her life. She thanked us for the training and for this night.
The BIGGEST miracles
#1 
️KASSIE ️ Kassie is a friend we are teaching. She is 18 and has been taught only 3 times before. She is a lot like Madi! She is so prepared and so ready to receive this gospel. We asked her if there is anything holding her back from baptism and she said no! We hope to have a date set for next week.
#2 Eli and Kady! This has to be one of the best miracles I have ever witnessed as a missionary. We felt inspired to go to this appartment as we pulled in Sister Fa’ao’otoa remembered a door that was a few apartments down. We knocked and no one answered. The next day she went back on exchanges and met Eli. Eli is all tattooed up, has had a horrible life and claimed to be a Satanist….. but for some reason told us we could come back. The next day Sister Fa’ao’otoa and I went back. The circumstances we went to were not good at all but we felt safe and decided to wait 15 minutes to talk to them. We made the best contact ever. Gave them a BOM and prayed for them. He said he felt peace and so did his wife Kady. Kady said she would never come to church. We felt otherwise and asked if we could bring our friends( members). The next day we all went back and had the most powerful experience together. Our member related to them perfectly. We taught about our Savior. We left but the member stayed. A few hours later out members called us and said they are coming to church next Sunday! Then Kady texted us and told us the same thing. How in the world did that happen? The spirit of discernment told us to stay, you are safe and told us these are your next friends. God really does the unthinkable!
I know without a doubt that God is in the details of this work. I know that God protected us and I know this truly is the true church. I have never been happier in my life and I can’t wait to see what this next week brings. I love you all and am so grateful for your prayers! I hope you all have a wonderful week.
