Let the spirit in! :)

 

I don't really know where to start. This week was a roller coaster ride. I got sick and then Sister Curtis got sick, but despite it all we were still able to see a lot of success. We went to Mary's house for dinner on Thursday evening and her son was there. We haven't really gotten to talk to him since Mary was baptized I was grateful for that opportunity. After Dinner we just shared a scripture from the Book Of Mormon, then the spirit took over. We were not planning on asking him if he wanted to learn more but we did and he was so willing to read the book and learn more. Mary just piped in while we were teaching explaining to him what the Book of Mormon was and why she knew it was true. It was so awesome! She was just glowing.

There is a less active that we met this week Named Erica Quick. I love her. I see so much of my self in her. She is really struggling right now. I have been feeling like someone has been praying for us and I just wanted to find them. Well we found her. She said she has been praying for us to come. She is 23. She is awesome! She wants us to be her best friends so that she can surround her self with good people because her work environment as a waitress is not very good, there is a lot of temptations. She will be such a good example to her family by trying to get back into the church. I love seeing people change their lives around through the atonement. I know that the atonement is really. that Heavenly Father really does forgive us and turn us into the person that he needs us to be, the person that we are destined to become.

The past few weeks have been hard for me, I have had to rely on my Heavenly Father more than I ever have before.Therefore I know that he really does know each of us personally and wants each of us to return to live with us again. The trials that we go through are never one alike but there is someone who understands it all and that is our savior. he suffered for everything we go through and that is why there is no one better to turn to in times of trouble than him. My favorite scripture is in D&C 84:88. I know that I have many angels on the others side who are bearing me up. Who are with me every step of the way. I know that Everyone at home is praying for me as well and I can feel all those prayers.

I know that I didn't really write about much this week but i guess that is really all I have to say. It seemed like I had a lot more. One other thing we went fishing yesterday with Brother Barton. IT was a much needed stress reliever, I caught 6 fish in one hour! It was pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Pure luck. I would throw in my fishing pole and two seconds later I would catch a fish. I really truly love being a missionary. I love Bedford Virginia and I know that it is where the Lord needed me to go. I feel so blessed and grateful that he let me come on a mission. Despite everything going on right now one thing I catch my self saying ALL the time is "life is good..." Because truly it is no matter what there is always something good to come out of every day!
