that's the only way i can describe how i feel! just so happy! This past
week was AMAZING. no seriously guys, miracles happened every day. just
small and simple miracles that have just made me so grateful to be here
and to have you guys as my family.
We
were able to get a referral from a missionary who used to serve in this
area last week for the smith family. holy cow! talk about being
prepared. They took the discussions for a while and were working really
hard to all be baptized together but then they moved to Texas on what
has supposed to be their baptism date.. Things didn't work out in Texas
and so they came back to Missouri to the same house they lived in
before. We would have never gone back there because on their teaching
record it said they had moved, but because the sister who is home now
kept in contact with them we were able to know that they are back! they
are super excited to have sisters be teaching them again and i'm so
grateful to be teaching another family! Teaching families has been the
greatest times of my mission. I never realized how big a blessing it was
until i was talking to a missionary about the Smiths and he said that
he has always wanted to teach a family. I thought about it for awhile
and realized that i've been able to teach atleast one family at all
times on my mission. whether it be the parents, the child in the family
who wasn't baptized yet, or the spouse who wasn't baptized yet. and then
i remembered about how before my mission i would just always say how i
was excited to teach families like how the missionaries had taught mine.
That was definitely a wish of my heart that I've been so so blessed to
be able to do. I'm excited to be able to help the Smiths and for the fun
memories that are ahead of us!
other
miracles we saw this week are mostly about the sisters that we get to
go on exchanges with. They all have been working so hard and been
striving to be diligent and the Lord is just pouring out blessings to
all of them! and also with the ward members here in O'fallon! They all
are such amazing people and really strive to share the gospel with their
friends. The He is the Gift video has been a huge help, it has helped
them be more comfortable with sharing their beliefs with the people
around them.
This
is an exciting time to be a missionary and to be sharing the gospel!
The Lord has prepared soo many people to accept the gospel at this time.
I'm
so grateful for all of you guys and all of your love that i feel every
week out here! This past week i just have been overwhelmed with love for
all of you! you guys are the best and we make a pretty good family.
even though we're a different one, i think we're pretty great.
love
