This week was grand, we saw so many miracles. I appreciate all of your prayers & love, if anyone ever tells you they can feel your prayers I hope you believe them :)
Before I tell y'all about my week, I would like to share with you that for the first time in my nearly 21 years, I held a duck. He was so cute Sister Smith and I named him Pequito Leché. I love him! We had dinner with our Stake President's family and when I first came to Cochran he told me I could hold one of them and he remembered! So before we left he went to get him for us!
All week we had been trying to set up an appointment to finish teaching the Plan of Salvation with a girl we have been teaching. On Saturday she told us she wouldn't be able to attend church this weekend. We felt sad because we hadn't been able to see her all week. So Sister Smith and I went out all day to find someone who could! We spent all of Saturday inviting people to come to church, I think we had about 20 people accept! We had prayed to find someone who would be willing to come to church and throughout the day two different men randomly pulled over and invited themselves to come. Haha! It was so great. We were really hoping for miracle. So, come Sunday... Unfortunately neither of the two men were able to make it or the 20th people we had invited. I didn't lose hope though, because I know God is funny. About 10 minutes before Sacrament began, a girl walked in by herself. We didn't recognize her and she looked slightly lost. She mentioned it was her first time attending this Church and was looking for Tucker, a recent convert. Tucker invited his friend and she came!!! Y'all Tucker is awesome. She stayed for church and she said she really likes it because everyone has their own voice here.
On Monday, we had a change of plans about 3 times. So, we went out searching for another opportunity for a miracle and we somehow ended up at a less active families home. On our way back the girl we had been teaching just so happened to drive by on her way to work. She stopped for a second to talk to us. She is so awesome and God's timing was no coincidence.
Later that night I felt prompted to go to an old referral we have not seen several months. She lives about 30 minutes away and we got to her house just as she and her family were leaving to pick up a pizza for dinner. She was so happy, when we asked her why she said the big man upstairs has been good to her and then she told us something funny. She said, "my boyfriend in Perry just called me and told me this sister missionaries stop to by to see him. Then he said he was sending them to me". We don't cover Perry, its about 45 minutes away from our area and we had no idea who her boyfriend is, but God knows everything so we laughed because God sent us to her. We gave her a Book of Mormon and headed out.
1 Nephi 17:13
"And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led"
This week was awesome, I am excited to Skype my family this weekend but for the rest of y'all.. I hit my 11 months last week so it'll be about another 7 until I see y'all. But I do love all of y'all and I hope you have a happy week!
