I don't even know where to begin so sorry if this email ends up making no sense, because it probably won't. Haha oh well.
This
has been a week of miracles! So amazing! One thing I'm learning is that
the only way for God to perform miracles is if we act in faith. The key
word is act. There are so many people that we talk to and after the
conversation we say "wow that was a miracle!" But would it have been a
miracle if we decided to not talk to that person? Nope! If we didn't act
and talk to people, we would see no miracles. But they are all around
us!
Here's a list of miracles:
1. Our
car was broken into :( but we felt inspired to bring our GPS inside for
no apparent reason! So it wasn't stolen! Only Sister Van Valkenburg's
flash drive was stolen!
2. This one is pretty cool. We were
on our way to a meeting at the church. We get there 15 minutes early and
see this random car parked on the speed bump. We creepily pull up next
to it and roll down our window to talk to the driver. Come to find out
she's not a member and just comes to the church because it feels good
there. We give her a church tour and set a return appointment. She's
been looking for a church and is super cool. After she leaves we look at
our phone and see a text pop up that was sent at 3:30
in the afternoon to tell us that the location of the meeting had moved.
It was 8 at night. And we had been using the phone all day. If we had
got that text we never would have gone to the church. It was a miracle! I
couldn't even believe it! God's hand is in His work.
3.
There's a member of the church here who doesn't come often because him
and his sister are only 17 and 11. And his parents aren't members. But
I've always felt strongly that we needed to work with them. One day last
transfer Sister Crane and I ran into him on the streets but weren't
able to talk to him. Ever since then I've felt really sad and have been
secretly praying for a second chance since he's never home when we drop
by. Yesterday we ran into him on the street but it was in the middle of a
crosswalk! I was so sad we couldn't talk to him for longer! So I said a
prayer that we would run into him again. And within the hour we ran
into him and were able to talk to him more! It was a miracle! Especially
since we wouldn't have been walking if we hadn't run out of gas earlier
that day. Incredible! Heavenly Father is so good!
In
order to see miracles we have to act and use our faith. But excersizing
our faith is different for each person. As long as we act in faith
Heavenly Father will bless us! Don't forget how much God loves you! I
cannot even express to you how much effort He goes to for the well being
of His children. You should see our multiple area books... and the
billions of meetings we have. Just to know how to help any and all
people. Don't doubt for a second that He loves you!
To answer some questions:
Yes
I am working in both wards now, it is fantastic! I love it so much! God
has a lot in store for this area. Haha and yes a lot of exciting things
have happened this week...see above :).
Have a wonderful week!
