This week we did lots of finding. Lots and lots of it! We did have a cool miracle though! In the mission we have to get 5 new investigators by Wednesday and on Wednesday we had 0. We set a vision for what we wanted to find and we prayed all day for the family we wanted to find. We set out and started knocking. We knocked for 4 hours. The last door we knocked we found the family we have been praying for! We found a family of 4 and all were baptismal age. They were all boys and their ages were 9, 11 and 15. It was amazing. We prayed and they loved it and we taught them and invited them to be baptized and they said yes! We were so excited! So we scheduled a return appointment with them. After the discussion, I said to Sister Smith, “I am starving”, because we hadn’t eaten anything all day and it was almost 8. Then she looked on the phone and Sister Boga texted us and said, “Hey! I made you lasagna, you can come eat it!” We were sooo happy!!! It was a miracle! I love Sister Boga so much!! She was so in tune with the spirit. It was such a great meal. She stuffed us to the brim! I can’t wait for you guys to meet Sister Boga and her family. Afterwards she gave me a bracelet she bought me. It was so cute! It was a miracle day!

Helping someone move. Doing Service

But it was short lived because that family dropped us. In fact everyone dropped us at the same time. L So we are back to the drawing table, but we know God is a God of miracles. Sometimes he gives us miracles, small ones even. If they don’t work out he is just letting us know he is there and that he loves us!

It makes me sad how crazy fast the world is becoming wicked. We are in the last days. With the whole same sex marriage. Yes we have gotten lots of questions. We haven’t had a training on how to best answer but we have passed out a lot of The Family: A Proclamation to the World pamphlets!! It’s been hard with the Warren Jeffs thing going on. Have you heard of that?! If not look it up. It’s been hard to get people to let us in because of that, or get them to listen to us. Satan is real but the power of God is more real. We already know we will win, we just have to keep up the fight and stand strong and wear the armor of God! We need to make sure we are the type of trees that have strong roots!

This week I have been studying a lot about trust. It’s kinda been the theme for my whole mission! I was reading a talk and a quote from it I love says, " When one follows the course marked by the road signs of the gospel of Jesus Christ and places his trust in the Lord, its influence is such that it is manifest not only in action and deed but by a marked and visible change in his very being. There is a special light and a spirit which radiates from his eternal soul. It can be described in words like brightness, light, joy, happiness, peace, purity, contentment, spirit, enthusiasm, etc."

I never thought about how trusting in God can affect your appearance and make your light shine even brighter. That’s something I am working on too is learning how let the light of Christ within me shine bright. It’s been an ongoing thing but I love it! I hope to one day trust in God so much that I just glow :)
