Well this week flew by just like the rest of the weeks have done. We have seen a lot of really cool miracles this week and I am excited to tell you all about some of them. First off I just have to say how excited i am. Today was transfers and I am so glad to say I will be staying with Hermana Tippetts!! We have been getting along so well and really felt like we would be staying together but sometimes President does crazy things! First of all just so you know how much alike we are, the other day in planning we were talking about a less active that has some issues with keeping all of the commandments. My companion was like, I have been thinking about her and I have decided she is kind of like one of those underground pimples that you get, you have to like work around it and give it some time until you can pop it! I was laughing so hard because it was the perfect analogy for this less active. So we are going to work with her and then get to the commandments that she really needs help with and then just be brave and call her to repentance. It kind of made my week:)
So the other week we tracked into this guy on a random street and he seemed very interested, so we went back for our follow up appointment and he was there. We taught him about the Book of Mormon. He was telling us about how he has always wondering if life had more of a purpose than working and eating and sleeping, basically what the purpose of life was. He said that he needed peace and that he wasn't really happy. I was so happy that I could be there to share the Book of Mormon with him. I told him with complete confidence that the Book of Mormon could answer his questions about the purpose of life and that it could bring him REAL happiness and REAL peace! We were just standing there on the doorstep and as I listened I was just so confident in my answer to him that the Book of Mormon could help him in his life. I think through the last few months my testimony in the Book of Mormon has grown the most out of anything, so I hope and pray that you are all reading every day! Another experience that happened with the Book of Mormon this week. My old companion and I found this older lady named Magdalena. We weren't able to catch her at home after our first appointment and hrma Tippetts and I almost just dropped her but we decided to go by one more time and set up an appointment. She was there and we once again shared the Book of Mormon with her. We read in the introduction which is what we read with a lot of people about how we can read when Christ came to the America's and ministered to the people here, how we can learn about the plan of salvation, and receive more peace. We asked her if anything caught her attention and she just started to cry. She said she had always wondered why Christ had never come here if he had so much love. I know the spirit was testifying to her in that moment of how true it really was. It was a sweet experience and in that moment I realized what a gift I have had in my life to always have the knowledge that God really does love all of his children and he is going to minister to us all. We really are so blessed to have the Book of Mormon in our lives and the only true church.
Well I hope everyone is doing good getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am getting so excited for it, and you can be expecting a BOMB Christmas card from me and my companion! I love you!!
