So this past week has been full of amazing miracles, both big and small!! I've loved it!! Last Monday we had a great lesson with one of the families that we are working with and the husband was set to be baptized this weekend and he was!! It was amazing!! Just now have to wait a year so the family can be sealed in the temple (united for all of eternity)!!
Tuesday was just jam packed! We had two lessons right off the bat to go to that morning. Both of which were really good. We then had a lunch with one of the members that came with us to our appointment before lunch. We darted to the church building for the man that I mentioned earlier, for his baptismal interview! It was awesome!! We planned his baptismal service and got it all arranged! We then got caught up in some things that we had to do, but it was all right. Had some people cancel on us cause of things they forgot were happening that day. Tried some things out and we tracted. Door knocking. Haven't done that in awhile.
Wednesday was a good day. We were on exchanges and I was with a new missionary. It was pretty cool being with him. He was just so on to things about the work being brand new. We had a District Council that morning. Grabbed lunch and then went tracting. What a perfect way to break in a new missionary. Met some people that weren't interested which is always a sad thing. Had some service then we went back into studies. Cool little miracle here. We got a text from our dinner asking if it was going to be 4 of us. The Spanish Elders told us that they didn't have a dinner so we explained the situation to them and they told us to all come and that they planned on having 4 missionaries!! That was a cool miracle for all of us. After dinner we moved a car and went contacting. Made some awesome contacts and got in touch with someone that went on a vacation but is back. Re-exchanged and we shared about our days and it was pretty cool.
Thursday was a good day, but not at first. Woke up and I was just dead. Literally out of it. I haven't been having the best sleep for quite awhile. Made it through the routine and all that fun stuff. Went and helped move a fridge and clean under it. Put it back and went and changed to start our weekly planning. Got called away to do some things which postponed our weekly planning session. Got things done and had a great lunch with the man we helped move the fridge for. Went to the church and started our weekly planning. It went pretty well. Had to help out missionaries get places and to get things. Cool miracle there. As we were wrapping up our weekly planning, we were looking for a video to share for a discussion we were going to have that Sunday at church. We were watching and watching when the Elders came in and asked if we could take them to get something from one of their members. We asked if they could wait a bit and we watched the video and it wasn't the one we were feeling. So we loaded another, then another and then we said after this one, we'll go. That was the video we felt we should use and we left to take the Elders to get what they needed. We got there and as we pull in and park, two more cars pull in and it was the members!! Perfect timing or a coincidence? I think not! Came back into town and finished off our studies and tried some people. Had a great appointment to end the night which was awesome!
Friday was also a good day. District Council, to lunch, and then to service. Tried some people then had our studies. Had a pizza dinner which is always appreciated. Had a great appointment afterwards with the lady we contacted on Wednesday that came back from vacation. It was such a beautiful spirit that was in the home! You could not deny the feelings that were there!!
Saturday was a blessed day!! Had to do some early morning errands and then we got prepped for the baptism we were going to have. It was such a beautiful spirit that was there!! It was a small turn out, but a huge spirit that was in the room. It was awesome!! We then did some inviting to a ward party that was going to be that night and we went and invited! We invited a lot of people and one of the places we went and invited, we ended up being there for quite a long time outside that we were beat from the heat! After all the inviting we did some studies and then saw another baptism and then went to the ward party. Had a lot of people there and talked to quite a few people. It was pretty cool.
Sunday was also a really good day. Had meetings from 8-3:30. Had some surprises there!! One of the people that we were teaching disappeared for quite a long time, but he returned!! He came back!! It was awesome to see him just walk into church and stay all three hours!! Also, one of our recent converts challenged us to a 90 Day Book of Mormon reading challenge. That'll be fun. We did some studies and drove around the Spanish Missionaries. Had our dinner, drove them back, and then tried some people. Had really good visits. We even got to give a blessing which was really cool. It was definitely a good day!!
This week has been awesome and I have loved every minute of it!! Time is flying! I can't believe it!! I love you all and I hope you all have a great week!!
