This week was a great week to say the least. We knocked many doors, biked too many miles, and served our Savior. I love being a missionary and sharing the good news that is the gospel. I'm slowly starting to feel more at home in Cypress and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the constant guidance He gives me.
Here are some cool miracles for y'all this week:
On Thursday night we were out finding. We pulled up to an apartment complex and I felt like we needed to go to building 1. As we got out to that building, we saw the apartment management so we quickly hurried to the side of the building because they'd kick us out if they saw us. BUT as we came to the side, we saw a woman walking so we went and said hi. She told us that she was going to buy a lottery ticket. I asked what her lucky number was and she said "1." We talked with her and shared some scriptures. At the end we said a prayer and she invited us back the next day. God guides us all. It only takes "1."
Another cool miracle we had was we were able to get in with a family we've been trying to work with. We were able to go over and share a message about Jesus Christ and the Atonement. The parents both had tears in their eyes after we had finished because the spirit was just so strong. I love feeling the spirit as a missionary in lessons. It just makes life better.
Lastly, I played a kid in horse this week while we were out tracting. When we finished the game, we asked if we could share a video with him. He watched it and afterwards said he felt something that was just different. It was the fist time he'd ever felt the spirit. We could see that he was feeling it. It was amazing as I had felt prompted to just go shoot with him and it turned into a gospel experience. I'm so grateful for the opportunities Heavenly Father gives us and for the fact that I haven't completely lost my jump shot :)
On Sunday night, we also got to go to a "WHY I BELIEVE" fireside and I was able to see my Huntsville people again. It made my heart full to see all my friends. Chukwudi (who Elder Potter and I found) even came up to me to invite me to his baptism next week. My heart was made full beyond all fullness. I feel so loved.
I feel happy. The gospel is true and the Savior loves us all. He lives and is here for us whenever we need him. The healing and cleansing power of our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ is real. He leads and guides us daily. I feel overwhelmed with His grace.
I love y'all and God bless!!
