A lesson to remember

This past week was great. Time continues to FLY by! This past week (as always) was full of MIRACLES! There is one in particular I would like to highlight

MICHELLE AND CHARLIE- A FAMILY!! How we found them was a miracle. We taught them the restoration/ picked them up on Thursday and that was great! but on Saturday we taught them the Plan of Salvation and it was beautiful. I will never forget the spirit that filled the room and the light in their eyes as they came to understand that they had a loving Heavenly Father who has a plan for them. As we taught it they bore testimony of how they felt it was true, how this makes sense and how other religions only have pieces but they can't make sense of it all. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon, and to know that I have a loving Heavenly Father. It was a lesson I will never forget!

FUNNY STORIES

we were teaching Seenu (our indian investigator) and I invited him to "pray for strength...." and he looked at my funny and he said "Pray for stank? as in smell bad?" hahaha it was funny and we all got a good laugh out of it. but no. please don't pray for stank. 

ALSO 

I almost killed a racoon for someone hahahaha. we were having dinner at a members and their neighbor came over kinda frantic saying there was a racoon in their backyard who was dying slowly for some reason. and all the "men" in the neighborhood were gone supposedly, so me being from Idaho, I offered lol. I guess that fact that i was in a dress with curly hair made it look like i couldn't do it. I'm not too mad about it haha sometimes you just gotta suck it up and do what you gotta do lol. 

I am very grateful to be serving the Lord. I know this is His work. The days are long but at the end of the night I always feel uplifted and a peace comes to my heart and I know what I am doing is right. Sister Bingham is an amazing companion and I am so grateful that I get to learn from her. 

God is a God of miracles. Sometimes the most profound miracle in our lives is not what we initially would expect, but a miraculous change of our hearts. Becoming "humble meek, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father" (Mosiah 3:19) You are His greatest work. 

We have really been slacking in the picture department! sorry!!!
