This week was one of those rough missionary weeks, but that's where the title of this email comes from! Having a positive attitude, and of course my ridiculous sense of humor, really helps you to get through the rain and know the rainbow is coming soon! I am so blessed to have a wonderful companion that also is so positive. I'm not perfect but I'm getting perfect at trying😁
We still saw amazing miracles this week! The first was that we committed Shane to live chastity and pay tithing and he committed to both!! As far as tithing he said "Just tell me when and where!" He is really accepting the atonement into his life, and he sees the positive difference, he is a great example. He is still getting baptized on the 14th , and he is getting the Aaronic Priesthood the same day as his confirmation!!
We got to teach Mary Armstrong for the first time, and she has seen a lot of life changing things happen to her lately, and she ha been looking for more in her life. She was way open to learning about the gospel. She was truly touched by the spirit, and I was as well. She shared with us a story about how she felt that Heavenly Father and her family were looking out for her, and she knows that He guides our lives.
One amazing miracle we saw this week was something that testified to me that Heavenly Father always looks out for us, even when we make mistakes. Like this week, we met a girl on the street that wanted a Book of Mormon, but neither Sister Bishop nor I had one!! I know...WORST MISSIONARIES EVER! But like I said,,even when we misstep the Lord provides. The next day we met a woman who works with the aforementioned woman!! She was totally willing to give her a book, and I seriously almost cried out of gratefulness. The Lord wants us to succeed! He will expend every effort, as long as we do so as well!
Other than that not a ton happened. We had to be in by 5 on Halloween, and we had to clean, but then Sister Bishop and I moved our mattresses into the living room, and had a mini sleepover!! She is becoming my best friend, I'll probably cry when she leaves!
Keep looking for opportunities to serve others! I can promise it will bring you immense joy, and it will lift your soul. I've seen it time and time again.
Love and miss you all! Tell me about all your endeavors!! I have being so selfish in talking about myself haha😜
