My dearest, darlingest friends and fam bam,
This week was fraught with miracles, spiritual power, and loving service.
First, my new companion is the bomb diggity. Sister Hamilton has been out 6 months, is from Pleasant Grove, and has become a incredibly good friend in a matter of days. She has answered all my prayers! She is a bold, powerful, miraculous missionary, and she has helped to be able to have more fun and be more effective. She is really needed in this area, especially for her incredible music talents. We have the Festival of Choirs coming up, and she has been able to compose a cool arrangement for the missionaries in our ward to sing! She is a beautiful singer and a just a wonderful human. And hilarious.....we have soooo much fun!
I promised you miracles! Here they are! Many came in the form of those who have been able to progress in their relationship with Christ. The first being the Segovia-Morse family! Aaron, Morgana, and Anthony came to sacrament meeting! We met with them Saturday and the lesson was incredible. They have been reading the Book of Mormon almost every day, and they said that they know it is true. It is amazing to see how much one week has changed their attitude and how the Book of Mormon and prayer has softened their hearts. They loved church and participated actively in Gospel Principles. Their daughter Alana LOVED primary! As they left they told some ward members that they would see them next week! I love this family, and I am so blessed to help them on their journey.
Sister Curless, a less active, came to church for the first time since I have been in the area and I have seen her at least once a week. She had a really good time, and she told us her husband (a non member) is coming around and may be interested! We saw similar progression in Sister Noyes, another less active, and we decided to start all over with her She is starting to remember the wonderful blessings the Book of Mormon brings and she said she would strive to read daily.
Lastly, Shane is doing so well! He is even moving out of his home because it is too much of a party house, and he was offered a place to rent at a member's home! The light inside him continues to shine and he grows more and more hungry for the gospel. The bishop even mentioned a mission to him...so that's in his brain too!
Miracles happen every day. The atonement of Christ is what brings about those miracles. As we strive to be better every day, and love the Lord with everything we have, He gives us all we need and more. Any feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, or really anything negative does not come from our Heavenly Father. I KNOW this gospel is true. Why? Because everything in it testifies of Heavenly Father the Savior's love for all of us. They have reached out in love to us and given us the tools, such as the Book of Mormon and living prophets, to help us be happy in this life and receive crowns of glory in the eternities.Simply put in my favorite children's hymn: I know He lives, I will follow faithfully, my heart I give to Him, I know that my Savior loves me. He loves us all, and we need Him.
Needless to say this week rocked! Blessings are everywhere as we live the restored gospel! That is a promise heavenly father will never break:)
Love,
Sister Lescarbeau
