Kacey was baptized this past Saturday and the baptismal service went so well. We absolutely love her and can't wait to go to the temple with her :) We asked Kacey how she knew this was where God needed her to be here and she said "The moment I knew I could be with my little daughter forever I knew it and knew that's what I wanted for my family." Yep just kind of made me cry a little bit. She is sooo amazing!!
Also I picked up Sister MacLay this week! It has been quite the week! Hahaha we just threw her into the mission. We taught 17 lessons her first week and she was quite the champ. I like to say she came pretrained...cause she did! So training is going well! TONS OF MIRACLES! Here's just one :)
So it had been a full day of lessons and we finally got to come in and grab a bite to eat before we had another lesson that evening with our investigator Jaide. So we put on some rice because that's basically all we eat just in many different variations haha. anyways the rice had been put on for about 3 minutes when Jaide texted us and said she was available to meet right then and we could catch her alone at the church before the member she came with would be done. We had been trying to figure out how to have a lesson with just Jaide for a while because she lives in one of our out lying towns and we always have the lessons in members home because we can't meet anywhere else. So this alone was a miracle but wait it gets better :)
So we were debating what to do because we had just put this rice on and it had like 16 more minutes before it would be done and we didn't want to waste it because we as missionaries are poor. So just imagine this little battle in Sister Allart's head. Well just as we always do as missionaries, People take priority. So we turned the rice off and jumped in the car left and taught a fantastic lesson with Jaide. Well we got back from the lesson and I went and sat down and I heard Sister MacLay in the other room: Uh sister? The rice is like done. I jumped up out of the chair and was like what do you mean it's like done? I walked over and tried the rice and lo and behold THE RICE WAS COOKED. The Lord has cooked our rice while we taught Jaide a lesson. May I also add it was cooked to perfection. So if you're ever wondering don't choose the rice choose the right and the Lord knows how to cook some good rice. It didn't even stick to the bottom!
Well that's all for now folks thanks for tuning into The Childress Branch: Miracles straight from the Lord.
SISTER Allart
