Mid January 2018

I kept my commitment!! Just so you know this is me accounting to y'all how passing out a copy of the Book of Mormon went! Just so y'all know it's hard for me too :) This was honestly the hardest Book of Mormon I think I've ever passed out. I don't know why but it was. 

To follow up on passing a copy of the Book of Mormon out to someone:

So there's woman who works at walmart who I just love so much and today I was like hey Debbie I wanted to give this book to you because it's brought me a lot of happiness and I know it will for you too. It's called the Book of Mormon and then I gave a little bit of an explanation of what it is and I asked if I could share one of my favorite scriptures with her so I shared 1 Nephi 11:17 and she was crying and was like you have no idea how much this means to me thank you so so so much I'm going to read this verse every single morning and then we hugged and she said that she would be okay to have missionaries come over and teach more about the Book of Mormon and how it can bring more happiness to her and her family!!!!! She kept telling me thank you. It's amazing to me that it really is the people that we are most nervous to reach out to or even don't think would accept it that really need it the most. I love being a missionary so much. sadly she's not in our area and is in a elders area that you could say I'm learning to trust... ahhhh you just love some souls so much and it kinda hurts sometimes. Funny how that is. But anyways please pray for Debbie! If you could pray that she'll recognize the spirit as she reads the Book of Mormon and that she'll have a desire to act that would be awesome! 

Nothing to much from this past week other than this amazing lesson we taught: 

We taught Cassandra this past week aka Sister Hernandez. That lesson was honestly one of the most spirit driven and inspired lessons I have ever taught on my mission. She has a baptismal date for the 3 of February and we are going to teach her tonight! She just want's to be right with God and is wanting and willing to do change. She is so amazing!! I'll have to keep you updated on her! She is just incredible!!! Please pray that she will feel His forgiveness as she repents!!

ALSO! We were out in Shallow Water one of our outlying towns and we had about 15ish more minutes left of the night so instead of going in early we were like why not try one more! So we went to go see this former and they had moved but there was this young mother named Stephanie who lived there! They had moved in not to long ago and kinda lost the as the Texans say "Church thing" as they moved and literally that very morning she was thinking about getting back involved with church and God. 8:50 miracles are real!! ...well in this case it was actually 8:35... But we live for principles!!! 

I know this is HIS work. I only know through prayer. I testify that God hears every prayer. He is not a dumb idol. He listens and He speaks. Not only was He listening to Debbie, Sister Hernandez, me, and Stephanie but I promise He is listening to yours! 

Ask Him what you could do for Him today, I promise there will be more meaning in your day as you accomplish what He has for you to do :) 

Lots and lots of love

January 2018

Not much time today but I want to share a really cool goal Sister Montgomery and I set. SO last friday we were on the phone with a set of sisters and we were talking about the Book of Mormon a little bit and I was like lets pass out 10 copies of the Book of Mormon tomorrow!!! mind you we both had a very tight day. I got the best look from Sister Montgomery after I said it hahaha. 

So Saturday comes around and we passed out 5 copies before 12:30!!!!! Complete MIRACLES. It is amazing to see how when we tell Heavenly Father what our plans are He will be there preparing the way. I love the scripture in D and C 88 about how Christ goes before us. That was completely evident that day! SO it;s about 8:20ish and we still needed to pass out one more copy in order to reach our 10 and after knocking on a door with no answer we see a man across the way walking his dog and as any stalker missionary, we run him down! Well by the time we got down off the stairs we thought that we would be able to catch him if we went a little further down so we get there and there is no man with a dog. yes I know sorry to burst your bubble too. but we start walking down to a certain building that we hadn't knocked yet and we pass this door and something just moved my head a little to say hey look at the pretty Christmas tree why not knock this one! So we stop and turn around and knock it cause why not right? well a man answers the door, aka Rick. He was from Bloomington Indiana! well one thing led to another and we shared a scripture of the day and ended up leaving him our 10th copy of the Book of Mormon. 

okay here's the awesome part we stopped by tuesday just out of the blue to see rick and we asked him if he had a chance to read any of the Book of Mormon and he was like yes! I read the whole book do you need it back now? He thought we were going to come back and take it from him and that we were just lending it! HE READ THE ENTIRE BOOK OF MORMON!!! We asked him what he thought of it and he said well sisters I can't say it's not true but I can't say that it is. So he's going to pray about it. He was flying out the next morning too so we literally caught him in perfect time! Miracles? I think yes :) 

Have a great week and know there is someone out there that needs you!! There really are many that will believe it's words! Go find one of them and let me know how it goes :)
