Friends,

THE CHURCH IS TRUE! THE BOOK OF MORMON IS THE WORD OF GOD! AND I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!

Yesterday we are out visiting one of our Less active friends. We gave her some homemade cookies and shared a scripture with her. I love leaving knowing that I was able to brighten their day. ALWAYS LEAVE THEM BETTER THEN WHEN YOU FOUND THEM. on our way back to our car we saw a man walking our way so we kept walking his way passing our car. then he crossed to the other side of the road. Great now we get to make things awkward... so we say hello as we cross over to him. This is always a gamble because a lot of the time it is awkward because they just speed up like they didn't hear us or shew us away. (we get some funny stories from that) But Kevin stopped and said hello. HE IS A MIRACLE. This man was so prepared. We had one of the most easy natural conversations with him. He was very religious and shared things with us that we all together connected back to the gospel. He talked about angels always being around us so I shared D&C 84:88 with him and he loved it. later on in our talk we shared a BOM scripture with him. As sis currie read it I gave him a BOM open to that page she he could follow along. 

His comment after went a little something like this... "Wow that was powerful. When you handed the book to me I was filled with this power and happiness." That my friends is the power of the BOM. The field is white. Our friends are prepared. Those who are ready will see the light and know. We didn't have to do anything but hand the BOM to him for him to know that it was true. He felt it because his heart was soft and he was prepared. 

This week has consisted of many visits to a pharmacy because my poor comp has been so sick. We used a little of what all my comps call "My who-do-voo-do" but that only went so far. So she has been sleeping a lot and coughing out a lung or two. And I have been cleaning, studying, and trying to entertain myself. But here is the cool thing. Even though we were only able to go out a little we saw some of the most amazing miracles ever!

 We were having dinner and were finishing up when the neighbor of sister Moobury (who is an elderly widow in the ward) came over to check up on her and see how she was doing before she left for her trip to Hawaii. We invited her to sit down and have some food with us. She did and stayed for the message as well which was us teaching her the restoration. We committed everyone to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. She agreed to do this as well and agreed to letting us come by after her trip. The Lord knows our hearts and how badly we wanted to be out teaching this week so he gave us special miracle to be able to do so.

The other cool part to this story was before dinner I had to thought to EDPEP (role play) teaching the Restoration. Then low and behold.... we got to teach it to someone who needed it. 

We invited 3 of our friends to be baptized this week!... none of them accepted a date but were able to express concerns that they had. From this we will be able to help them come closer to our Father and eventually make those sacred promises with him that will bless them forever! 

SUE AND DANIEL CAME TO CHURCH!!!!! Yeah yesterday was a great day! Deedee is praying about a baptismal date! We have a lesson with Matt and Erica Tuesday and we are going to invite her to be baptized! Prayers would be appreciated! 

Missionary work is the most rewarding work. This church is true. I know it with everything that I am. I know that Father talks to us through the scriptures, so read them. We are so loved and are always enough!

Alma 53:11 is a great scripture I came across today. Take time and make an oath with Father to bring you closer to him. He will help you and it will bless you!

Keep on keeping on in the Harvest!

Love you all so much,

Sister Kate Draney
