This
week has been fantastic! We saw some pretty cool miracles :) We had a
great Book of Mormon class, the spirit was so strong and people even got
off early from work so they could make it! Talk about dedication.
THEN,
we felt prompted to put a certain person in our plans that we had met
recently to follow up. It wasn't at the time she said normally works
best but we felt we should go anyways, and there she was! She was out
sitting on her porch and we were able to have a quick lesson with her
right there and set up a time to come back! We are always put where we
need to be if we are listening.
And
this girl we are working with, sweetest thing, sits out on her porch
and waits for us to come when we have appointments. If only the world
was perfect and everyone remembered our appointments and sat there, ready
and willing, for us to come. But even without a perfect world, I love
being a missionary!
I
want to leave you with an experience I had earlier this week. It was
one of those days, not a bad day, but where I just didn't feel so
awesome. I was frustrated for no reason and just felt all wound up. My
loving and understanding companion, the amazing Sister Asay, simply said
"Go grab your scriptures." So of course I did and we sat down together,
starting with a prayer, and read my favorite story in the Book of
Mormon (Alma 18 when the amazing missionary Ammon teaches King Lamoni).
As soon as we started reading I felt an overwhelming feeling of peace
and could not even remember the awful feelings I felt. I know that peace
came from the spirit, and I know it came because the Book of Mormon is
the word of God. I know it is true and that by reading it we will be
able to receive more of Heavens help in our lives.
I love you all. Read the Book of Mormon and I know that you'll be able to just keep smiling!
