Hey Everyone this week was crazy, "let me explain no there is too
much, let me sum up":
~Wednesday we got a referral for Bryan Jones. His brother Bill wanted
us to visit him in the hospital. We went and talked for awhile and He
wanted to meet again. YES! 1 New Investigator!
~ Thursday we went on crazy exchanges and found another super solid
investigator...for the YSA sisters. Her names Iris.
~ Friday we went back to visit Bryan and he wasnt in his room, the
nurses kept asking if we were family, finally they told us Bryan died
Thursday. YEESSSSSSsssss! 1 New Investigator ...... for my Grandpa!
He'll do great, Spirit World's the Best of all the amusement parks!
~ Saturday we met with Excel for bible study and his favorite
scriptures are in Isaiah! We read from the BOM and he ate it up, he
kept saying of that sounds like this scripture in Mathew or
Revelations. We will be meeting with him again next week.
~Sunday, General Confrence was awesome!!! Take that Satan, Everything
was soooooo good! We met with Iris as well.
So many amazing things happened this week, I cant tell all of them but
I do have a couple short stories I wanted to share, so if you don't
have time you can pick one and enjoy!
The day we went on exchanges was spiritually insightful. Sister Chase
went to Indiana University and I got Sister Mac for the day. We felt
like we needed to go to the park and so we prayed and went. ...There
was like 2 homeless probs high people in the park and that was about
it. We walked around for an hour with no one is sight so we desired to
leave. As we were walking back to the car we say this young black girl
walking a said hi. We soon found out she was looking for some kind of
faith builder and asked to meet with us! Now fast forward to Sunday,
we are back in the park with Iris for a faith building lesson. We
talked about the Grace and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and what that
means for her. She was so happy you could just see it on her face. We
had to cut things short because she was going to the late night mass
(yes shes Cathlic). As we walked we told her about how we came to be
"sisters" and she asked if we had a shorter name. Yep thats when we
mentioned Mormon. I got all tense inside expecting her to freak out or
run away or something, but her reaction was quite the opposite. She
got soooo excited she nearly made me pee my dress! She looked at us
and stated with so much joy that David Archuleta is Mormon! I have
never fan girled so hard in my life! She is looking forward to meeting
with us again, she feels "compelled to learn more about Mormonism". I
was on such a spiritual high last night, it feels so good to be an
instrument in the Fathers hands.
The prophet we have today means everything to me! His word and work is
all from God the Eternal Father. Be sure to go back and read his words
and listen with an open heart for the spirit. The only way to
happiness in this life and in the next is by living the words of our
Prophet Thomas S. Monson. If you feel hard and unreachable I would
encourage all of you to listen to the primary hymns, magic will
happen, I promise!
I love you all and I wish you the Best! Have a great week!

P.s. Funny Story:I was on exchanges with sister Mac and we were
driving back to bowling green and the GPS was going crazy! Probably
the most sketch thing I've done in a while, 1st off we had just been
talking about how much we hate the walking dead and its like 9pm
and we are driving on dirt roads through the corn with no street
lights! Anticipation kept
building the further we went through the dark, we were passing all the
super creepy old falling apart farm houses when we make a turn into
.... wait for it....FOG! WTHeck i almost
peed my pants, I was going to loose it. Its a good thing no one was on
that road that night, cus I would have been charged for man slaughter!
I was freaking out and sister Mac was freaking out and we were in the
middle of no where waiting to die! It was a great night. :)
