7/21/14 Lovely Week

My companion gave me her huge rainbow glasses today, and for some weird reason I feel like Jared.  Strange . . . Anyways.

    This week has just been crazy.  I feel like God leads me through different trials to teach me small simple lessons about who I need to be. I love that God never ceases to bless us with miracles.  We really needed one this week.  We didn't have very much time to work, and I felt like what I was offering to God was only this tiny window of opportunity to bless us with a really big miracle. So I asked God to bless our meager efforts and make them blossom into 10 fold. We sincerely asked God for a miracle to help us bless someone's life, and if that could happen, we would know our effort to work for this short period of time wasn't in vain. The moment we got out of the car, a slightly older woman walked by with her grand daughter. So we stopped and talked to them, and she said 6 or 7 years ago she used to go to our church.  She said she would really like missionaries to come by and to come to church, then she asked us for a Book of Mormon.  It is very humbling when your prayers are answered so quickly, and even the meager effort we give is blessed abundantly. 

   Also, a member surprised us this week with a wonderful family that they have been working on.  They invited the family into their home, and we had dinner and shared a fun family home evening lesson.  They excitedly agreed to let us come by and teach them again.  They have a lot of questions about the church.  It is so exciting when that happens.  It is a lot more intense and almost a whole different ball game when you work with members.  I feel like teaching on the street you can be super bold and just straight up ask to hear the lessons or ask if they want to be baptized, but with members, you have to be more sensitive to their relationship.  I just want you to know I had a great week this week, and next week I will know about transfers.  That happened super fast right?  I don't get how time just keeps speeding up.  Scary!

Love,
