Hey everybody! This week was AMAZING! I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I have seen God’s hand in my life so much this week, I am so grateful. In my personal study I got to study the missionary chapters in Alma! I learned that God prepares the people that we meet, and I have seen that come true each day this week. One of the verses says that they should flock unto us, I thought that was interesting but I have truly seen people flock unto me in my companion this week.
MLC! To start off the week we had MLC! As many of you know this is one of my very favorite meetings. I had a different experience this time, it was my job to train the MLC. My companion and I had the opportunity to talk about companionship unity. The spirit was so strong as we talked unitedly. I had the chance to bear my testimony on the power of being united with your companion and honestly it was quite emotional for me. I have experienced both the good and the bad and I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to help the missionaries that are struggling. I also got to attend an office staff meeting.. lol I never thought I’d be a part of that
Countless MIRACLES!! This week we were able to teach most of our friends. They are progressing! We are teaching a family and I love the kids… they love us too. I have a handshake with the kids We are teaching and old grandma who bore her testimony on the Book of Mormon to us
MADI and KASSIE! This week Madi was baptized. Aww wow the spirit was so strong. I’m so grateful to be a part of her story. Kassie joined us at the baptism and then we had a very powerful lesson at the temple with her and her mom( who now wants to take the lessons). Kassie is now on date for the 25th! ️She is another Madi… we are just the best of friends.
Eli Kady and Sam! This, like last week, has to be one of the greatest miracles ever. THEY CAME TO CHURCH! After one week they came. It was my personal highlight!! Last week when we first met, they told us that they would never come with us… the spirit is working hard on them.
TEXT! Last night at 9:30 my companion and I were playing the ukulele ( we have been enjoying it so much) when we got a text saying, ” My husband wants to join the church” Whattttt! We are going to be teaching him this week. Crazy right!
Lastly to add to the crazy busy week we had an exchange with the️ Star️ sisters. I love them! I stayed here in Nampa and we had a BLAST! We worked so hard and even found a new friend to teach. Her name is Briana!
Sorry for the all over the place email. To close I know that God prepared these friends for us at this exact time. I feel so honored to be a part of the gathering of Israel. I love you all so much and I’m grateful for your constant love and support.
