Hello World!
This has been an interesting week. Also an awesome
week!!! Our mission president is really emphasizing the importance of
changing things up! So this week we tried something pretty
crazy.......service tracting! Service tracting is where we go knock on
doors in jeans and a T-shirt and offer to help in any way we can! Let me
tell you, it is SO WEIRD to be out doing missionary work in jeans. But
so cool!!!! We saw a lot of hearts soften and a lot of miracles! Doing
service is the best!
I hope everyone is doing
well! It's so fun to hear about life in Colorado! Time goes by SO FAST
it's weird to think that normal stuff is happening in the rest of the
world. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I will send some this time.
We
set a baptismal date this week for our incredible investigator, Denise
(name has been changed)! We love her so much! She's the one whose door
we knocked on after that guy screamed at us! It has been so amazing to
meet with her and see the gospel touch her heart. Please pray for her!
The gospel is so amazing. I've never been moor happy then when I'm
helping someone else come closer to Christ.
There's
one scripture that's been sticking out to me a lot lately "This was the
Lord's doing and is it marvelous in our eyes?" (Mark 12:11).
How many times do we just go through the motions each day? Wake up, go
to work/school/whatever you do, come home, go to bed, repeat. So many
times we fail to recognize God's hand in our lives. I promise you
miracles happen every day. It's just a matter of us opening our eyes to
recognize them. Life is so marvelous!! Sometimes I walk around and take
in everything around me and just think "Everything is so amazing! I
can't believe Heavenly Father has blessed me so much to be here!" Life
is hard, but it's also marvelous!
I'm a little
scatterbrained today so sorry this email isn't the best. But this week
has been amazing none the less! The other day we had dinner with these
members who are so awesome. They left everything behind to join the
church. Their families, everything. They also are so amazing at
following God's will. They felt like they needed to move to China so
they did just that. Sold everything and moved to China. There they were
able to have some amazing experiences! It just goes to show you that if
you follow God's will everything always ends up being a million times
better than you could have planned it.
Have a wonderful week!
