A Turkey Named Gustav

This week was an adventure! We saw a lot of miracles just from working hard, and trusting in the Lord. 

We saw an awesome miracles with the Silver family. They are less active, but the love having us over. We hadn't been there in over a month, but they invited us over to dinner this week. They have a few barn animals, some chickens, horses, a cow named Bess, and.....a giant turkey. He actually didn't have a name, so I asked him if I could call him Gustav....he gobbled like crazy! Haha:) 

Anyways, they actually invited over a non member friend! We were able to get to know her pretty well, and she said she wanted to have us share a message! MIRACLE. They also said they would like to have us over on a weekly basis! We are so excited for that opportunity, and we know it will help them so much. 

We had a lesson with Ellen this week. She is really gaining a testimony of Christ through the Book Of Mormon. She said she is learning so much about his grace and love in it, and it makes her feel great as she reads it. The Book of Mormon really is like a piece of heaven, as one of my wonderful companions called. It can help us feel the love Christ and Heavenly Father has for us, and it has helped me come to know Christ personally, and how he can help me. 

Sunday this week was extra amazing. So many members bore testimony of Christ not only cleansing us from sin, but taking away our burdens and grief. It reminded me of the scripture in John 15: 

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Christ is our brother AND our friend. He cares about everything in our lives, big or small. i know that he loves us and wants to make our lives better. We just have to let Him be our friend, as the scripture says, by keeping His commandments. It can be difficult, but He will bless us for it. 

Have a wonderful week you beautiful humans!!!
