Have You Ever Wondered....

Hey Everyone!!! It has been another great week in the work of the Lord! We saw a lot of miracles and tender mercies this week and I seriously just feel like I have been on cloud 9! AND today is my companion's 21st Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS BLAIR! Not too many people can say they celebrated their 21st birthday by serving the Lord....so we are definitely enjoying this day :) OH and real quick-CONGRATS TO JESSICA AND JASE FOR CREATING ONE BEAUTIFUL BABY! SOO happy for you guys!

So we had a SUPER awesome day @ church this past Sunday! It was another super great Missionary Farewell and it brought up so many different emotions for me! It was exactly 7 months ago on Sunday that I gave my last farewell talk and said goodbye to my family and friends as well. It is amazing to see how much has happened during those 7 months and to see myself sitting in the pews with a name-tag on instead of standing at the pulpit.....crying. haha

But we FINALLY got one of our less-actives that we have been working with forever to church !!! WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO! AND she even walked to church which was a HUGE deal for her. You could just see how happy she felt after taking the Sacrament for the first time in years. It was amazing!

On Saturday we just felt prompted to go to this huge park by our Church-Bucklin Park- and go chalk out the Plan of Salvation! IT WAS SUPER COOL. Not going to lie, we did a boss job of drawing it out. We wrote really big in the middle of the sidewalk "Have you ever wondered...." and then under every step of the Plan of Salvation we put one of the questions of the soul, (i.e Where did we come from? What is my purpose in life? What happens after this life? etc) We didn't want to put our phone # down just cuz Bucklin Park can be a wee bit sketch.....so we just wrote out "Check out Mormon.org" EVERYWHERE! So who knows. Maybe one of these days we will get like 9 mormon.org referrals from it :)

After that we felt prompted to drive down to Calexico but we couldn't contact any of the people that we normally do. So we decided to go visit some people on the ward list and we had a huge miracle happen! We went to go visit this guy Joe but we found out that he doesn't live there anymore. BUT his Sister does and she is a suuuper less-active member that hasn't been to church since 2002 and wasn't even on our ward list! We talked to her for awhile and she really wants us to come back and start teaching her AND her non-member sons who are 11&9 yrs old! YAYYYY I'm super excited to finally teach some kids w/ parental support! And young boys who can be potential missionaries in the future! After visiting with her we were just like little kids on Christmas haha

It is just absolutely amazing to be apart of the LORD's work and to see His children developing and strengthening relationships with Him. I love hearing stories from back home of my family and friends being super amazing Member-Missionaries and I just KNOW that the Work of Salvation is truly hastening! I hope that you all continue to feel of God's love especially during this time of Thanksgiving, and will continue to share that love with all of those around you!

I love you all!
