Crazy Week of Miracles!!!!


We have an investigator with a baptismal date!!!!! She is so amazing, and I love her!! Her father and sister are recent converts, and her dad is actually now the Gospel Principles teacher! I'm so grateful for the opportunity Heavenly Father has given us to teach her!!!
I went on my first exchange! It was a whole day in Boulder City! We had 20 street contacts, which was 5 more than our goal!!! It was exciting to talk with EVERY SINGLE person we saw! I really learned that you can never know who the Lord has prepared to accept the gospel! So many people, who were super mean to us at first, accepted our invitation to pray with them, or set up appointments, or said that they would come to church with us! The members who came out with us were also so amazing. One of the members was a convert of 40 years!! She had such a strong testimony, and it was great to hear her conversion story. On that day I was able to bear my testimony about baptism, and address one 12 year old girl's concerns. The spirit was so strong, and I felt him guiding me to ask her certain questions, so I could figure out why she was apprehensive about being baptized! We set a date with her, and her 7 year old sister is so ready to be baptized, it's crazy!!! I felt more intune with the spirit than I ever have before, I bore my testimony to seriously every person we talked to! The Lord helps us to overcome our fears! I really felt so blessed! I know that the Lord LOVES ALL of His children, and I have the sacred duty to preach His gospel!!!
We also have this amazing family that is coming to church! They have been coming for the last 3 weeks, I KNOW that they have been prepared to accept the restored Gospel. We haven't gotten the chance to teach them yet, but we are praying for a miracle this week.
I can now have a kind of conversation in Spanish!!!! It is amazing! I'm so grateful!!!!
This week I encourage y'all to pray about a question you have, and then search the scriptures to find an answer! I know that the Lord will guide us, and He will help us.
This week I read a lot about the Savior's atonement! It amazing, that no matter what we are going through, or how hopeless we feel, we have Him. He knows us, He loves us, and He is our best friend!!! I'm so grateful to know that because of Him we can have eternal families, live with our Father in Heaven again, and be forgiven for our wrong-doings.
I love you all!!! Have a great week!!!! <3
