Many Mighty Miracles

Hey! Sorry its a late one but this week was insane! Let's get started! 

Remember last week when we got a text from a young woman saying her friend wanted to meet with us? Well this week we met Bella and she's amazing! She's been going to church throughout the summer and went to FSY camp. She wants to be baptized and attend the temple so bad! We're so excited to help her! 

We also met kendra! She's a sweet 9 year old girl who just moved here from Grantsville with her family and she's not baptized. She met with the elders in Grantsville (and told us she likes sisters better hehe) and wants to continue meeting with us and progress towards baptism! We're grateful for kendra!

We also met lots of other people and had some interesting conversations. Weirdly in this valley I've met a lot of people who are let's just say... interesting. We had lots of conversations with people who tried to prove our beliefs wrong but we always had a answer to their questions or concerns. 

We had exchanges with the hermanas and hermana carrillo came to Erda with me! It was lots of fun and we found a few new friends to teach together! 

We also finilized Grace's baptims and made the program and everything. She's so excited for her baptism ! 

Yesterday, Sunday, was a day full of miracles! so many of our friends and recent converts were able to come to church! There's also a non member family that the missionaries have been in contact with a while who have gone through so much. It's a dad and 2 girls. Their little brother passed away a year ago from a accident and their mom died a few week ago from cancer. They've had so many challenges but we've been able to witness how these challenges have help them accept the gospel AND they came to church for the first time this past Sunday and loved it! Truly a miracle! Please pray for the Carreon family! 

We also met a non member at church and asked if we could come by sometime to meet with him and his family and share a bit of the gospel and what we believe in and he said YES so we're super excited to meet with him this week! 

Also side note, today we witnessed a couple getting married while I was getting my passport so that was fun

Spiritual moment♡
I was pondering a little bit about why we seriously saw so many miracles this past week and what we did differently and noticed how me and my companion strived to be exactly obedient this week. We were always pretty obedient but there were things we could improve on. Were we perfect? No. But as we strived to be better every day and strived to be exactly obedient we saw so many miracles and tender mercies from God and it reminds me of Nephi from the Book of Mormon and how much faith he had in God and how he was a great example of obedience and putting trust in the Lord. He still went through so much with his family but they were truly blessed as they were obedient.
Nephi said

"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
-1 Nephi 3:7

I love his example! Let us all strive to Go and Do and follow God's commandments with exactness! 

LOVE YOU + GOD LOVES YOU TOO!

Departing Testimony

This is crazy.  Brothers and Sisters please do not take this time for granted.  It will go by so fast and I hate that, but it’s ok.  I know that God has a plan and that this is His time. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to stand before you today to bear my testimony.  I know that this Church is true. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ.  I love Him so much. I have come to know that He truly is my Savior and that everything that I have ever gone through, He already went through that.  It's been an incredible experience to be able to testify of that every single day to everyone that I may see.  I love wearing His name.  I love representing Him and this is something that I plan to do for the rest of my life.  I will continue to be a missionary and I will continue to be a disciple of Jesus Christ because it's not over.  This is just helping me prepare for the rest of my life.   I am so grateful for The Book of Mormon...
