By way of Miracle

We got these in the mail from Rachael for my birthday. This is my
look of pleasant confusion. Turns out it's cake inside.

And us eating it

We forgot to get pie for Pi day so we got creative with things we had around. I had graham crackers and whipped cream, Sister Erickson had pudding. Necessity IS the mother of invention.

And here we are with Dot. She's a real cutie.

Well this week went by super fast! Tuesday and Wednesday we were on exchanges, and Sister Limb  came with me in our area. Poor thing, I talked her ear off. I get a little excited when I'm reunited with old companions and I just talk forever catching up. Sister Barfuss and Sister Naylor can relate.  Tuesday we tried to show a lot of people the #hallelujah video but no one would watch it. People  think we are trying to brainwash them with a video. We did end up contacting a guy though that is actually a member and his wife is not and he was not on our radar at all. We didn't even know about him so that was really cool. We found him by way of miracle because I got confused when I was  planning and planned two people with the same last name that are not part of the same family. When we got there I couldn't figure out why we were there, but then when we met him I knew that it was no
accident and that Heavenly Father sent us there to find him. Who knows where it will go but now at least we are aware of him. Evidence that Heavenly Father is aware of us all.

Wednesday Sister Limb and I continued to try to share with people the video. Still not a lot of interest but some good conversations, and it is good know that we really tried to help people learn more
about Christ.

Thursday after District Meeting we got a call from Sister Stone telling us that Janelle had been given a generous gift of a trip to Hawaii and that she was planning to use the trip to study and pray. Well Sister Erickson and I have been been to Hawaii so we know there is no way she is spending her time there reading and praying haha. But there is a good long plane ride both ways, so we made a plan to
take some more reading materials over to her. We put it together cute with some string I had and  ended up taking it over the next day. She already had a Book of Mormon so we gave her a Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet, a Gospel Principles book (Sister Stone wanted us to), and a questions of the soul sticker. We also re-gifted some bookmarks we had been given and some other cute stuff haha. Re-gifting to investigators is the best. She LOVED it and was so excited to read and learn more. She is awesome, we love her.

We did service for a non member in another Ward on Friday and it brought me back to the good old days of serving in less affluent areas. There were tons of weeds and the house was in dis-repair. It's funny that it kinda felt good to see a little ghetto.

Saturday we visited Grandma Dot and she was much happier when we left. She was really down. She has rheumatoid arthritis and can see her independence slipping away. We shared the video with her  and helped her do a chore she was in the middle of. She was quite chipper when we left. It's so great to uplift people.

We have some solid referrals coming our way it seems so that is exciting. A sister in one of our wards has friends that live in the other wards boundaries but it's still us that covers it so yay! The teenage daughter wants to be baptized, the mom is wanting to come back to church and the  husband/boyfriend (not sure) we don't know about other than he is not a member so hopefully he will be interested. We just need the address so we can go meet them. Still working on that, the member has been trying to set up a different way for us to meet them than cold call so we don't have an  address. We also did some weeding this week for an older sister that just met a guy who is Jewish but is clearly interested in Christianity and is asking some questions. Who knows where he lives so we may not get to teach him but it is just exciting to see how he has crossed paths with her.

I love the Book of Mormon. It always cheers me up. I'm in Alma right now and it is my favorite part of the Book of Mormon at the moment because of the incredible missionary miracles. Whole nations  converted. It's amazing to see the ways the Lord works. He went straight for the Kings, who  proceeded to open the door for the gospel to be taught to the rest of the nation. It's incredible to me the works Heavenly Father can accomplish, "thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of his people." Alma 24:27. The Lord's work and glory is our salvation and our joy. He is the Light of the world. Hallelujah!
