Week #56 - PRAISES GO UP

WOW. This week was probably one of my craziest weeks on my mission. God is good, The Lord is my light and the spirit guides. SO BLESSED. 

So, here are some miracle stories for y'all:

This week a woman we found tracting a couple weeks ago asked to get baptized!! Her name is Carolyn and she is the best. She is a single mother and calls us her boys. She has progressed so much. There is just a light that people gain when they become invested in the gospel. She has that light now. Carolyn has such a great heart. We taught her the Word of Wisdom this week and she goes "Can we fast to help with it?" WOW. SHE'S THE BEST. So any prayers for Carolyn will be appreciated :) 

Another amazing miracle happened. Saturday we were out doing some visits to people that our ward council gave us. Everyone we stopped by did not want to see us, even got told that we could be shot at due to the sketchy neighborhood. Lol I love Huntsville. Anyways we were feeling kind of useless but we had a prompting to stop by an active older couple that's in our ward. As we pulled in the man came out to greet us. He told us that him and his wife had split up two days earlier and he just felt shattered. We gave him a blessing and the spirit poured itself out into his heart. He told us we were an answer to his prayers. The spirit has healing him. I felt so much love as God used us as instruments in his hands. 

We also had a member bring a friend to church last week, she loved it, and is now taking the lessons! Plus!!! A family in our ward has a wife and two kids that haven't been baptized yet and we were able to have dinner with them last night and are going back to teach them!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD. Sometimes I feel like he blesses me even when I don't feel like I deserve it. He is just love. 

Elder Potter and I are growing even more than I ever thought possible. There is so much truth I've beheld to know that this gospel is true. It is changing lives all over Huntsville. I just feel love from my Heavenly Father. This church is true and I feel so blessed. God is always there. Love you all and God bless!!!
