Hello all!
This week was great! The bikes were wonderful and so fun, but now we have a car. I'm driving a Dodge Grand Caravan! Missionaries in a mini van. So great :) It's a lot more to clean, but we could fit bikes in it if we wanted to! It really tests my ability to park lol
But we got the car on Thursday, so Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday were the only real days we bikes. But those days we saw miracles! Things happened that would not have if we were in a car, so we are debating on still using them :)
So we were tracting one day, and then randomly my nose starts bleeding., we frantically knock on doors, waiting for someone to answer to see if we could get a tissue or something. No one was
opening, so we sped walked down to where a member lived and she was thankfully home and helped me out. Then we left with some referrals she gave us! So we were able to talk to a lady that she said was super nice and she let us in and talked for a while. If my nose didn't randomly start bleeding, we would have never known she knew the members and she probably wouldn't have let us in! So even though we would have tracted into her anyways, it was good to get some background info first. Everything happens for a reason!
Vanessa, the grandma who adopted her grandkids who we gave school supplies to, is really great. We stop by every once in awhile and now we've started to help Vito, the 7 year old, with his homework because Vanessa isn't really educated and can't help him. She said she was so grateful and asked if she could do anything for us, and we just said that she could let us teach her, and she gladly accepted. So hopefully we'll be able to teach her the restoration next time and she will see how this wonderful gospel can help her and her family!
We had a lesson with Tamir and Cade Cohen this week about the Book of Mormon and it was awesome! Claudia, their less active mother shared her testimony about the Book of Mormon and the blessings she's received from it and she came to church yesterday! It's so wonderful to watch people grow and learn to love the gospel more and more. Tamir and Cade, 15 and 13, both go to their dads house on the weekends, but both of them love us coming over and we can really see their
testimonies grow in learning more of the gospel!
We had exchanges this week and I got to stay in my area and my STL, sister training leader, sister price, exchanged with sister campos. I learned so much and was able to see more clearly ways I can improve and make my efforts magnify in this wonderful area. I'm so grateful for sister price! She knew what to do in every situation and just gave me a huge example on what kind of missionary I want to be. She's so patient and depends on the Lord for everything she does and says and is truly and instrument in the hand of the Lord.
On Saturday we had Jesse's baptism! His family from St George came down and it was so wonderful to see the little boy that we taught glow and beam from excitement to make those covenants with God. I am so blessed that I was able to help him and be with their family on this very special day :)
