What a crazy week! So much has happened this past week! Such wonderful things! First off, I was able to go to the temple! I LOVE the temple! Second, we had a HUGE miracle! More like a little angel girl named Alyssa :) We were doing some tracting in an apartment complex and after we knock on a door there is this little 9 year old Alyssa behind. She asks us if we are Church people. We say yes and she asks us what we do. So we start talking to her about the gospel and the Book of Mormon. We show her the picture of Christ at the front and quickly says, "can I have that?" We of course give it to her! and then she turns and walks away... We are just in awe at this little girl who is walking away from us and we quickly say, "Alyssa can we come talk with you and your parents more about this?" She then takes us to her parents who weren't free at the time so we part our separate ways. But just a little bit later we see her again! She then ends up taking us around the WHOLE apartment complex pointing out people for us to talk to who will listen to us. She was an angel! She would stop and talk to the people she knew and told them "You need to listen to these Jesus people...(and then point to us) precede" and then she would have us talk to them haha When we left the apartment complex she was showing the pictures in the Book of Mormon to another little boy. So cute!
Funny Moment: In that same apartment complex a couple people thought we were from DCFS haha they would start talking to us about how their children are fine. It was really strange! Its kind of a sketch apartment complex.
Another miracle! One of our investigators who is preparing for baptism is AMAZING! Her name is Connie. Her husband has been a member since he was 8 and they have been married for over 40 years! and she is now getting baptized! Just a couple months ago she noticed she was missing something in her life and she started praying and then sister missionaries showed up! She has such a strong testimony! She knows it is true and is already sharing it with those around her! Please keep her in your prayers!
Lastly here is a little thought... Alma 62:41 "But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war [day] between the Nephites and the Lamanites [with our family] many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war [day]; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility." This scripture applies so much to us! It can be replaced with really anything that we are going through [exceedingly great length of the week, month, job,etc]. It shows how we can either become hardened or softened because of the experiences and situations that we are going through. Its about our attitude! Remember we are on God's side and with that we have every reason to smile and be happy! Because God loves us!
Have a blessed week!
All my love,
