Week 62

Hey everyone!

This week has been soo good! We have been working really hard to build our teaching pool! And we are definitely seeing the Lord's hand in our work and our efforts! It's been amazing!

So yesterday we had this CRAZY rainstorm! Like super crazy and we were under tornado warning and flash flood warning. But we decided that we should go see one of our families who is investigating the church and see if they were okay and still coming to church. Should we have traveled in that weather? Probably not? Did we see them and get them to church? Yes we did! And it was such a spiritual experience. the numbers were few because of the crazy weather but the spirit was so strong! And Donna and her little boy LOVED it all! It was pretty cool because they had to do the sacrament prayer a couple of times and I was able to explain to Donna why and how sacred the sacrament is. And then as I was doing that Elder Christofferson's talk in conference pooped into my head about how each piece of bread is unique like all of us. Every single person is unique and that is so true. So when I was able to take the sacrament it was a special moment for me. Because of all the crazy weather and conferences I haven't been able to take the sacrament in about 4 weeks... it's amazing how much partaking of the sacrament can help you and refresh you! I am SO grateful for the sacrament!! 

We also were able to set Donna and her boys with a baptismal date to work toward! They are so excited about the gospel. It's amazing to see how the gospel can truly effect someones life! And how good it is! This gospel is so amazing! Sister Doxey and I have been talking a lot about points of the gospel, and one that has stood out to me a lot is repentance. Because it's true - through grace we are saved, AFTER all we can do! And something we can do is to repent! Repentance isn't a scary thing, it's simply making a change in your life to help you get closer to God. And every time we do repent it is so worth it! It's the little things that can help us. So one little thing can be to just read from the Book of Mormon more, or have more sincere prayers. It's by small and simple things are great things brought to pass! What little thing can you work on this week?

Have a stellar week!!!
