Week #19 - WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR, HE OPENS A WINDOW

Happy Monday y'all!!! This week was so much fun and we had so many blessings that were given to us that it felt like we were drowning in blessings.  I love being a missionary. 

I hope everyone had a happy Father's Day yesterday!  I know I am so thankful for my Father both on earth and in Heaven. I'm so thankful for a dad who taught me how to work hard and love the Lord.  Fathers are such a blessing that God gives us.  

Our biggest miracle was on Sunday.  We had 5 investagators show up at church and the best part was that the members took the initiative to invite them.  It was so awesome to see so many of our investagators come and feel the spirit.  We even had someone just randomly show up because his friend invited him and now we are teaching him the lessons.  God is so good and can send so many blessings to us. 

On Friday, we had a jam-packed day planned out and then everyone bailed on us.  Our lessons cancelled, dinner fell through, and it felt like we had everything just like open up.  Sometimes that happens all the time but I love how Heavenly Father will still lead us.  We went tracting and found someone named Cole.  He is 19 and searching for a church in the area.  He invited us in, then after the lesson asked us to come back the next day.  On Saturday, we went back and had such a powerful lesson.  He told us he could feel the spirit teach him and he felt enlightened.  Cole is so solid and I can't wait to see him progress.  When God closes a door, He then opens a window. 

My invitation is to read Luke 22:39-46 which teach us about the Savior's sacrifice in the Garden of Gethsemene. Then read Alma 7:11-13 and use the Book of Mormon to deepen our understanding and love towards the Savior.  I love how the Bible and Book of Mormon really teach us about our Savior and that they add a deeper understanding for us.  I'm so thankful for my Savior and for all he did for us. 

I love this gospel.  God is so good.  I'm so thankful to have the job of being happy and spreading light. God loves us all and wants us to know that. He is here and won't leave. 

Love y'all so much and God bless.
