We are seeing miracles my my my. We were walking out of a
lesson with a Bermese guy and right outside of his apt was a lady standing
outside smoking and playing with her kids. We started talking to her and she
thought it was SO COOL that we were missionaries. She asked if we could come
inside. When we went in, she poured her heart out about how she is in a really
dark place right now and how her marriage is struggling and how she wants to
stop using drugs and strengthen her family and bring her kids up in a church
and become clean of her sins, etc, etc, etc. It took everything in me to not
teach all 5 lessons right there haha. We talked to her about how we can all be
forgiven of our sins and start over...which led into baptism. She kept saying
"I really need to do this" "I'm ready to change" "I
really want to do this". Talk about softened heart right? I can't believe
we literally crossed paths too. She accepted a baptismal date in June and is
already working so hard to change. She even came to church!:) I just kept
picturing her in the Relief Society with a calling...she fits right in:) Her
name is S*...she kept saying to me, "You look so familiar, I just
really feel like I've seen you before" haha I seriously think we have seen
each other before S*...let me tell you about the plan of salvation;) (jk I
didn't say that) But this is cool stuff people. I'm just so amazed how much the
Gospel truly does bless our lives.
Some other highlights of the week: We went to a baptism for the Westfield missionaries and I got to see soooo many of my sweet mission friends. That was so fun! All of us missionaries (there was about 16-20 who came) sang Come Unto Christ. Holy cow...the spirit was so strong. I will always remember that moment. It was so powerful to be standing there with some awesome missionaries, at a baptism, singing about Christ. Pooowwwwerrrrffffuuuulllll!
We also had the opportunity to help out at an assisted
living center. I seriously love those people! I talked to a lady who was 102
years old! WOW. We painted their nails, made them cotton candy, and served food
while they watched some country dancing. :)
And the craziest part...I hit 4 months this week....where
did that month go? Insane! I can honestly say that I absolutely LOVEEEE my
mission and being a missionary. I'm so grateful to be here! I know that this is
not me...at all! It's amazing to be an instrument in God's hands. So SO So so
grateful!

ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me."
