Mighty Miracles

Holaaa!!!

Wow I cannot believe it has been another week! Time is flying by SO FAST :( I love it here. The people are so great. I spoke yesterday in church. It was so fun! Lots more people than our little branch haha. SO GUESS WHAT. Travis is one of our investigators whose wife is a member and he has been investigating through 3 sets of sisters. Last monday we taught him about the Book of Mormon but i felt impressed to go into the Atonement. Turns out he understood the mechanics of the atonement but wasnt sure why it had to happen. Heavenly Father just put the words in my mouth. I bore hard testimony that God loves us and the only way back to Him is through Christ. That Christ stood in our place and bled from every pore for US. So that we dont have to suffer! He did the hard part! Now we need to follow him and repent and be baptized! I looked at him, we both had tears streamin, the spirit was so strong, and I asked if he would like to follow Christ and be baptized. He said yes!!!! September 6!!! God is workin might miracles. Its all the spirit. Isn't that so wonderful!! I love Travis. He has such a great heart and family. You can already tell the difference he is making and how his countenance has changed. He was prepared.

So that was amazing! Another miracle was we got the impression to visit a less active lady. She has been struggling with depression. As we sat there in her tiny living room, God took the wheel again. Through me He testified of His love for her. That she was a beloved daughter and He wanted her to come back to Him so He could heal her and take care of her. She committed to come back to church! And her teenage daughter was sitting in there. We all felt the spirit. Her daughter wants to come to church now too! Heavenly Father knows His children. He knows what they need to hear. I am so thankful that I am worthy to have Him work through me. It is amazin.

This is the hardest thing I have ever done! My body, mind, and spirit are exhausted by the end of the day. Rejection and disappointment ah it gets so tough. But when you look into someone'e eyes, and they themselves feel the spirit and accept to follow Christ? Worth it. This is the BEST thing I have ever done. If it wasn't hard it wouldn't be worth it. and lemme tell ya its SO WORTH IT.

So Liebs has had to go to the valley for meetings and Sister Carambelas and I were companions for a day I LOVE HER haha we had so much fun! I love my bike. His name is buckbeak. We probably biked 50+ miles last week no joke haha

I think my favorite scripture for this week is 3 Nephi 13 32- 34. Just put God first!! in EVERYTHING you do ask yourself, would God be ok with me doing this right now? I promise as you do that, everything else will fall into place! I love the last verse, its so cute!! Dont think about tomorrow. Let tomorrow think about itself! As long as you are doing what God wants you too, He will take care of it. That is how we receive true faith. By knowing that what we are doing is in line with what God wants us to be doing.

I love this work!! I love everything about it! We go to church for 9 hours every sunday! its fantastic! I am so excited for this week. We got big things and are helping Travis get ready for baptism! I love you each! Remember, God loves ya. I love ya.
