Kate didn't have as much time as she wanted to write to us this week but I have asked her to send me the letter that she sends to her mission president simply because they are awesome. So this week we all get to read her letter to the president instead of a letter to us.
This week has been a week full of miracles. I have learned in one way that we are prompted and guided a lot more then we often realize. I would say to the point that we are always receiving spiritual guidance in one way or another. The trick it to be thoughtful enough to recognize it and act upon it. This is one thing that I have been earnestly been trying to do. Miracles have come from it and I feel better all the way around because I know that I am following my Father.
This week Sister Hiapo and I sis a fast of sorts. We both want to find teach and baptize but we know that we cannot do this on our own. So we gave of ourselves so that we would be closer to the spirit and recognize more of those promptings that we receive on a daily basis. So Mon- Wed we fasted from any and all negative thoughts. This is something that we should be doing anyway but I knew that as we did it together that we would be more unified and that the spirit would help our companion ship as well. Wow how it worked.
I know that Heavenly Father loves us because He does bless us A LOT. He sends us to those who are in need and they come through small and simple means. One such miracle this week was in finding Tere, a new investigator. We had planned to see/ find a LA member before dinner. But as we got to the street with their apartments we realized that we didn't have the building number only the app number. A thought came to my head to just go and try that building and see if its the right one. So we did. A woman answered the door, it was not our LA. But we declared to her. I know that this is the person that Heavenly Father wanted us to find. She is going through a rough spot and needs and wants spiritual guidance. We told/ reminded her that she has a Father in Heaven that knows her and loves her so much. We shared a scripture with her and talked a little about what we share. We asked her if we could come and teach her more. She was thrilled and said yes.
I know that Father is preparing people for us. I know that she is ready and that this will be exactly what she needs.
We also found a woman named Renee. She was potential that visited. It was very cool because we, as companions, we so unified as we taught her a door step restoration. The spirit was able to take our simple testimonies and questions to her heart. She was grateful for the message and invited us back to share more with her and her daughter.
Because we followed the guidance of "Talk to Everyone" we found and were given an opportunity of service. Every Tuesday we go and help a member of our ward with her apartment. As we were leaving last Tuesday we stopped to talk to an elderly woman. She asked us who we were visiting and we told her that we are missionaries and that help a woman with her apartment every week. She was very impressed that we would do that and asked if we knew anyone else that would be willing to help her. She has been very sick and is limited on a lot of things that she use to do. We eagerly said that we would love to. She was grateful and said we can talk to her as we help her. The Lord puts people in our path all we have to do is be willing to open our mouths.
It was a great weak. I have learned so much about the light of Christ and personal revelation. Both of which I an very grateful for!
I know that this work will go forward and I am honored and grateful that I get to be apart of it.
