I have nothing to tell you all this week! In truth this week was full of packed hours of missionary work. I talked to dozens of people everyday, and I rapped Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam. Just your average week in the mission field right?
Miracles this week!
1. It was Monday night. We had sat down by a family to share about eternal families and they just stood up and left. A different guy sat down by us not five minutes later and started asking us questions. He is a newly wed and he is Christian, but he has been looking for the purpose in life, and more happiness for his family. Boy did we have some good news for him! It's funny how sometimes you work as hard as you can all day, but then when it comes down to it, God is the one who decides when prayers are answered.
2. We met a cute 18 year old girl, who is out spoken, doesn't know if God is there, but you betchya she wants to find out. She is tiny and spunky and she is like my little sister. I bribed her with scratch and sniff stickers if she came to church. It worked! (Even though I forgot the stickers on Sunday) I am just excited for her and to help her get answers.
3. MARK PASSED HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW. He was ready two weeks ago. But basically we teach him a lesson. He says, "Oh, that makes sense" and then goes home and later that day tells us the scriptures he read that helped his testimony that day. I think he has a closer relationship with God than I do? So we are both just trying to keep up with him.
4. Also, on of our recent converts here in the Woodlands ward passed the sacrament this last Sunday, and then right after got to say a talk. (He wrote it on the bus ride to church) But it still was very powerful.
One thing I learned this week. Or am still learning. Is to laugh at myself more. Funny huh? When I get awkward in contacts, I laugh at myself, they laugh too, and then we are best friends. I also know that when I am tired and want to sit down for a bit. When I smile and keep going, God gives me strength.
Hey, love you guys! The church is true, and the book is blue! I love and pray for you all!
