Week 12 - READ IT!


This week went by super fast! 

Last p-day was super fun, we went blueberry picking at a nearby farm with one of the members and her kids then went and got ice cream(which was super good), then had dinner and birthday cupcakes at another members house because it was her daughters 3rd birthday. I love the members here so much! They are so good to us. 

One of our investigators who is getting baptized soon called us this week and said he wasn't so sure about getting baptized anymore so we had a lesson with him about revelation and how to receive answers. The lesson went really well and I shared the story of how I really did not want to go to UVU and then months after I had started school there I received the answer that UVU is where I was supposed to be and God knew me and knew what was best for me even though I didn't necessarily like it. But I love UVU now and I am so glad I could start college there. The Spirit was really strong as I testified that God really does answer our prayers and He knows us individually. 

This week has been full of some really awesome lessons. On Friday we had three lessons in a row and we asked a member to come with us to all of them and it was so fun! I love when members can come to lessons with us, their experiences and testimony add so much to the lesson. There have been some cool miracles happen too. 
On Saturday we were planning to just stop by to one of our investigators' houses that night and teach a lesson hoping that he would be home and then earlier in the day we were driving from someone else's house and we saw him walking on the side of the road! We hurried and pulled over and talked with him and just taught him right there! As we were talking we realized that he wouldn't have even been home when we were planning on stopping by. I love how sometimes we are just in the right place at the right time.

I love being a missionary! Teaching lessons and seeing people change and come closer to Christ has got to be one of the most rewarding things you can do. This Church is true!! The Book of Mormon is my favorite book I have ever read because it makes me so happy reading it! There is so much to learn from its pages. So if you have never read it or if it has been awhile, READ IT. It will make your life so much better I promise.

LOVE YOU!!
