Week 47 - Survivor of the avocado


May 6, 2019

Hey what's up everyone?! Sorry to keep this week short but we had district pday, had a cook out and went bowling so not much time to write! 
This week was great and just like always, the Lord is blessing us to witness many miracles. Here are a few!

-We met with the Yan family and had a great lesson. Forest has read the Book of Mormon stories 6 more times and knows the stories so well. Wen Yu is still just trying to grasp her head around all of this and is slowly making changes. 
- We taught Ashley the Word of Wisdom this week and she has a few things to give up but instantly said, "I know that when we make sacrifices, God will bless us." I am always amazed with the people we are teaching and how humble they are to accept God's will. Also about out to her because she is such a great example to her Boyfriend Sean who is returning Back to church. 
- We had our first lesson with Julian this week and to say the least it was so empowering and incredible. The spirit was so strong. For someone who is atheist, he was very respectful and willing to listen. He is truly seeking for truth and we know the Book of Mormon can help come to find that he has a Heavenly Father who cares about him and loves him. 
-Michael Bearse text us this week and included this in his text, "I was praying to God asking him to show me the love he has in his heart so i can get it back in mine!! And then  I met you and miss you." We thought this was remarkable, we were an answer to his prayers! (My favorite thing of being a missionary) 
- We have been meeting With Margareth, who is returning back to church and her daughter was back from school. We may or may not have talked her into a mission, so that's pretty awesome! Missions are the best choice you can make in this life. Seriously it's life changing. 
- the best miracle of the week, for those of you who don't know I have been allergic to Avocado ever since I was about 3 and almost went into anaphylactic shock. This week I decided to try it in the hospital parking lot and guess what.. NO ALLERGIC REACTION!!! I AM CURED!! I have now ate avocado 3 days in a row and it's pretty delicious. 

On a sad note... David decided not to meet with us anymore because he doesn't believe that prophets recieve revelation :( 

Something I have definitely learned on my mission is that God is exactly aware of who we are and what are needs are. GOD IS GOOD AND HE LOVES YOU

Have a fantastic week and know I love y'all! Keep on keepin on.
