I just want to give you a list of miracles this week!
First off! J. CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!! It only took 6 months to get him there--BUT HE CAME! :) I'm so happy!
So we've been struggling to know if we should continue to teach L. and N. one night this week we decided we weren't going to go over to their apartment. Suddenly--we got a text from one of our members telling us that they were AT THAT MOMENT over at L. and N.'s having a lesson from the Friend and eating brownies. They said they were waiting for us to come over to have a prayer with them. Every time we consider dropping them--the Lord keeps us going over through some small thing. L. and N. came to church yesterday. It was awesome.
I guess I don't know what more to write about. As always we are seeking for people to teach!
Can I just tell you how much I LOVE having studies with President A.?
I love it.
Today we read the story found in Helaman Ch. 5. This has become one of my absolute favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon--and today just added more! We are literally bringing the Gospel to those that are in darkness. We are called to cast the devil from their midst and help in the healing process. I don't know--during the whole study I kept thinking about being someone the Lord can rely on. Being so completely humble, selfless, purpose driven, and full of faith. It takes praying until we believe together. It takes improved teaching skills. It takes constant sacrifice so that our faith will grow. It takes studying the scriptures and understanding the Atonement. It takes--simply giving it over and loving the people.
I'm grateful for repentance and the ability to continue growing. Step by step--line by line. I love this Gospel and I love the trials this work brings. How else could we obtain salvation? I'm so grateful for my Savior.
We've been on a Christmas kick this last week because it was ALMOST CHILLY for a couple of days! It reached as low as 72 degrees! :)
Have I ever told you how much I enjoy family history work? I did. But I want to say it again! I love family history work! I am committed to it when I get back! Everyone that can--please hold me accountable for this. Thanks!
Love you ! Hurrah for Israel!
