Hello hello <3
Man this week was over in a blink of an eye.
There is nothing better than being busy and boy is the Lord keeping us busy.
This week we had 3 exchanges and that always calls for a good time + all
the amazing people God has trusted us to work with. It was funny cause
yesterday in relief socitey we were talking about the Lord hastening his work
and how it is going to feel like, "Just keep up" and that is how we
feel and it feels so great!!
HIGHLIGHTS & UPDATES
Megan- She is officially the cutest
human and when I come home I think I'll just bring her with. At our Relief
Society sewing activity this week she just said, "After your mission, can
we like still be friends?!" DUHHHH!!! Anyway this week we were
finally able to have a lesson with her and because of the strong spirit we set
a date for March 23, which she gladly accepted. My favorite thing about Megan
is she is so humble and is willing to do exactly what the Lord wants her to do.
Rodriguez Fam- They all attended church
again for the 2nd week in a row. We made a really big leap with Carlos. He has
committed to attend the Positive Change Support Group (ARP) so that he can give
up his bad habits to prepare to enter the waters of baptism. THIS IS SUCH A BIG
STEP FOR THEM!!
Victoria- She is our dear friend with
the sweetest heart. We started teaching her a couple weeks ago when we decided
to randomly stop by. She loved the message we had to offer and wanted to learn
more which lead her to coming to our relief society activity and coming to
church this past week. She loved it and felt so welcomed. The lord is aware of
each of his children and knows exactly what they need.
Scott and Rick- Scott is someone who
thought he was baptized in the Ashford ward but wasn't and he invited his
friend Rick to join us. Rick has been reading the Book of Mormon daily and
carries it with him everywhere he goes because without it he feels lost. This
week we were able to set a baptismal date with Scott for May 18!
Steve- We randomly got a call from
someone yesterday and he said, "I would like a BOook of Mormon and few
other materials, When could we meet?" Turns out he had met with
missionaries about 10 years ago and last night we went over and taught him a
very unique restoration which he really enjoyed and really recognized us as
servants of the Lord and invited us back.
EXCHANGE MIRACLES
Real quick because we always see so many.
- My testimony was strengthened on the timing
of the Lord, it is perfect. We went to go see someone name Cliff and right when
we showed up he was hoping out of his car. If we would have been any earlier,
he would have been gone, any later he would have been taking a nap. Cliff
enjoyed our message and attended church in another area yesterday.
- I was a Hermana for the day and may have
felt like i was not in the United States but it was such a good time, as we
were cruising around with the windows down, i was waving at everyone and
smiling and all of a sudden people start yelling, "IT'S A ONE WAY!!"
needless to say the GPS took us down a busy one way road but the Lord protects
his missionaries (;
So now that you are all wondering about my
subject line, this week at the sewing activity we were making dresses for girls
around the world and as I was using the sewing machine, the needle broke and
fragments shot into my eye!!! But I didn't go blind so that's good news (; I
just like to make things dangerous lol. That's the conclusion we came
to(;
SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS
This week I was reading in the New Testament
in Matthew 8 and Jesus Christ is performing a lot of miracles and ministering
to the sick and afflicted and a centurion comes and asks him to heal someone
with palsy and Christs response is..
"And Jesus saith unto him, I will come
and heal him."
Christ didn't think twice. He just went. He
knew that others were in need of his help, in need of his strength, and in need
of his healing power.
That is the same in our life, Christ is there
at all times to heal us. He knows who we are, he knows what we need, and he
knows exactly how to come and heal us. I know Christ lives and he has a lasting
effect in each of our lives.
Keep killin it out there in the world!
