What a week! We have just seen so many miracles! There are a few families that we are teaching that I am just oh so excited about.
There is this cute
little family we met recently and all the girls talk about is coming to church!
Seriously, IT'S ALL THEY TALK ABOUT! We are so excited to have them there this
Sunday :) and they are all reading the Book of Mormon together. It is just a
beautiful picture, and I know that this is the best thing they will ever do as
a family. I'm so happy to be able to teach them these amazing truths that will
bring them so much happiness in life!
We met another woman lately that I
am very excited to teach. She was standing outside waiting for the bus, and I'm
glad she was because she said normally she would have just ran the other
way. She currently doesn't have a belief in God because of some hard
things she has experienced in her life. But by a miracle we were able to meet
her and taught the Plan of Salvation to her. She said it would be amazing to
know that there was someone out there who knew her perfectly the way we say
Jesus Christ does. It really hit her and now she is doing her best to read the
Book of Mormon and said she would even say a prayer! It is amazing how
simple and profound truths, like the Plan of Salvation, will help people make
small but significant changes in their lives. I know she will never be the same
because of it. I love being a missionary!
That leads me to something else I
learned this week. Elder Nielson of the seventy came and visited our mission!
It was amazing!!! As he and his wife were teaching us at zone conference, they
stopped and said "Well, we didn't plan to talk about this, but I guess we
need to" and by divine design they talked for a good long while about what
it means to be a child of God, how we can understand our divine worth, and how
important it is for us to remember that everyday. That is something my
companion is helping to teach me right now, something that we are blessed to
learn from the Plan of Salvation, and something that if truly understood will
change our whole outlook on life. I urge each of you to get on your knees
tonight and pray and ask God what he thinks of you. Spoiler alert, I already
know the answer. He thinks the world of you! He wants you to succeed and cares
about your every need.

great in the sight of God"

I love you all, just keep smiling!
