So, we
saw several miracles this week! The Tudelas (a RC family who's been
struggling and the dad who was baptized Feb 14 is still not confirmed)
LET US IN. For the first time since I've been here they let us in their
house! We just said a prayer but all of them were there and then the mom
said "we want to have you for dinner! Will you come for FHE Monday??"
and of course we were stoked. When we left I stood in their driveway
staring at the sky thinking What just happened. That was for sure a
miracle. Hopefully that happens tonight!
Scott, our miracle
investigator who was so awesome, dropped us. My heart shattered into a
billion pieces but I know we did all we can to bring him back and it's
up to him now. Sara didn't get baptized, but she's on date for June 20
when her friend will be coming up from Idaho to be there for her. She's
doing good, but extra prayers her way would be much appreciated to stay
strong for 2 weeks. We had plans to give our other investigators dates
to work towards baptism but Satan was a lil snot and those lessons all
fell through. But we are not discouraged! I know that God blesses us
when we are obedient. It's hard to get out of member dinners on time to
go knocking, but we tried extra hard this past week and saw miracles
because of it. We found a new investigator Sharla who is letting us come
back later this week! She has a new baby and wants to know how the
gospel can bless them. We're excited for her.
I've realized
deeper this week as I study that sacrifice is a big part of our
conversion. We need to give up our old life, our habits, our activities
or lifestyle that is not in agreement with God's teachings in order to
truly change. Truly changing ourselves and coming unto Christ requires
sacrifice of some sort - be it of time, effort, money for gas to get to
church, etc. But one thing I know for sure is that there is ALWAYS an
associated blessing with that sacrifice. The Lord tells us to try Him,
see if He doesn't bless you. Heavenly Father is so aware of each of us
and recognizes our efforts. Giving Him all we have, our whole hearts,
all our soul, is how we can really find joy in our journey. I love Him
so much and I feel so blessed to be where I am and have the life I do. I
love each of you so much and hope you have the best week and remember
how much you are cared for by your Father in Heaven! He knows you :)

- We have one of our special missionary firesides this Sunday night in
Centralia! I was asked to be the pianist, so I'm playing for all the
songs (one of which is particularly difficult and prayers I can do it
would be appreciated), and I am accompanying someone else singing, and
then I'm going to be part of a little a capella sisters number which I'm
super excited about :) I LOVE our firesides. The Spirit is so so
strong.
we did service for this family one day in doing all their barn chores
and cleaning after horses. when we took a pic with the flash they all
ran away, so this is just me with the weeds.
All thru downtown there was rainbow flags hanging up. Not sure why. But. Oly.
Zone activity last week! smallest zone in the mission and we have the most fun
just a cute mailbox we found tracting
These are some of the Tudelas! (the RC family I may have told you about?)
