Miracles Happen

This week has been interesting to say the least! It has been interspersed with wonderful miracles and slightly disheartening things... But the hard days make you appreciate those miracles even more! This week Sister Bishop and I were able to travel back to Manchester from here in Vermont for new missionary and trainers meeting!! We were able to be taught by the Mission President, and the

Assistants to the president. One of my favorite things they talked about is to never get down on yourself and think our mission isn't successful! Our mission is a baptizing and rescuing (less active

members) mission as long as we have a good attitude and expect miracles! So that is one of my goals, to pray for and expect miracles.

My amazing view of an amazing sunset.

And lo and behold, I experienced some awesome miracles. The first was that we were able to get a hold of a potential named Morgana. She actually called us! That really blew my mind because some people will never call back, but we were able to set up an appointment with her whole family! The next miracle came Ina rather sneaky way. We were trying to visit a member in St Johnsbury, but her address was impossible to find. We stopped by an apartment to ask if she knew where it was, and we were able to teach a lesson! Her name is Shannon ( shout out to my Momma!) and she is really looking for the support to change her life and become better. We were able to teach her that through the atonement of Jesus Christ, she can have that support and feel clean. It was an incredible lesson and we should see her soon. And Mary, who has Ben investigating for two years, went to church for the first time! So exciting!!!!!!

We did have a few investigators drop off the map, and one of them actually got a hold of some anti Mormon literature 😢😢 I sometimes just want to scream that you should only look at LDS. Org or Mormon.org! But there's so much anti out there....it's sad and slightly damaging to he work. 

I get to go to my very first Zone Conference this week! It's actually being held at the Joseph Smith Memorial ! I can't wait to see the birthplace, and I'm excited to feel the spirit there. I was actually asked to give a training there! I'm a little nervous... But I'll just pray that the spirit is there because that's the most important thing. But just pray I don't mess it up! 😁

I love this work so so so so so much. It's way spiritually draining, but in the best way. Every day I'm so tired I want to go right to bed,I feel like I've worked hard for the Lord! I love that I have such a supportive companion, and that we can help each other reach our goals! 

I have such a testimony that people can change through Jesus Christ. The spirit that comes into the room as you talk about the atonement is palpable, and I love my savior so much for the sacrifice he made!

 I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
