we have had a really awesome week here. so many miracles and blessing we have seen. its always a little bit of a relief when you see p-day roll around. i am pretty exhausted! we are going to be going out east of town in the "mountains" with some missionaries who have been struggling a little and spend some time with them. it should be a lot of fun. we are going to take a lunch and go see if we can find some thing worth bragging about! :) and then hopefully have some time to lay around, write letters and take a nap. should be a fun day.
I got your tape and pics on Saturday and i have loved it. i don't want to listen to the tape too much because then it gets over fast, but it is a lot of fun listening and hearing all the inside jokes and all about life there. I'll get on a tape this week for you, i started one about a month ago but then got lazy! haha, the atonement covers it so I'm good! you asked in your tape if members feed us every night and yes they do. don't worry mom, we do our best to call the night before. :) it's really nice to not have to think about meals at night but some times it sucks. we eat so much. everyone feeds us everywhere we go so its really hard to keep your girlish figure when everyone is wanting to stuff your face! haha, its a real blessing though and there are so many sweet members who would do any thing for us. pretty humbling!
well we had some thing amazing happen this week. we were planning for the next day on weds. night and we were trying to think of who we needed to go by or where to go and so we walked over to our area map on the wall and elder ricks said to pick a spot that felt right then we both told each other and they were the same spot. complete luck or divine inspiration we weren't sure until the next day. we started to head over into the trailer park that we had decided and we pulled in and it was typical A.J. rows and rows and rows of trailers. we started drive and we were looking for people to talk to and we seen some one down at the end of a row so we tried to turn around to go talk to them but there was a pole in the way we were forced to go straight. we went around the next corning and standing in her drive way was a lady named Becky. we got out and the first thing she said to us was. " I am a less-active member and have been for a really long time. I am going through a divorce right now and just moved in here. can you help me come back to church?" haha, one min. later and she would have been gone. this was a park that we had never been in before and because of a prompting that was followed with faith we were led to Becky. she came to church on Sunday. met the bishop, RS president and stayed for all 3 hours. first time in a church in over 10 years all because of a simple prompting. it was sweet to see and be a part of. she will do great and has great desires. :)
we found 3 new investigators this week. 2 of which were just talking to people on the streets and one was a member referral for a PMF who is ready to be baptized. we have several who are looking pretty promising for September! SO many blessing!
It was a awesome week that has completely drained me of all my energy and some how we keep going! :) this work is real, if it wasn't i wouldn't be having any fun or seeing any success. Both are happening so i figure something is going right!
It is a amazing growing and learning experience that has changed my life. thanks for all your love and support. your prayers for me are felt and appreciated. keep safe this coming week and i hope you find everything well and you continue to prepare for this coming week and month. your great. keep it up!
