And that is a literal title! This past week we had such horrible wind gusts that there were several places where the fallen trees knocked out the powerlines. Or blocked roads! We actually even moved a fallen tree out of the road all on our own! (disclaimer:it was not on a power line):)
We have had a very busy week! Actually this whole six week cycle has been super fast! We get transfer calls on Saturday! It always happens just as the companionship hits its stride!:)
We saw a lot of miracles this week! Actually, we see a lot of miracles every week, because the Lord is just awesome like that!:) But we definitely saw some great growth, and I really felt like we were doing what God wanted us to. And because we followed His counsel, we were blessed!
A lot of the people we have been working with came to church on Sunday! The most amazing was the Silver family! All 7 of them were there together for the first time in 2 years. Sister Silver came up to me and gave me a hug and said " Oh look at the beautiful sister that brought me and my family back!". In that moment the Holy Ghost helped me to realize that I was able to be the Lord's hands in His marvelous work.
We spent a lot of time looking for people to teach, like knocking doors or talking to people on the street. It is actually so much fun! After you start to look at it as an opportunity to just get to know the people in the community it becomes more fun! We met so many nice, awesome people.I didn't get one door slammed in my face! Always an accomplishment!
We were able to go to our last Zone Conference with the President Stoker as our mission president! It was a great Zone Conference, it included a lot of talking about how the gospel can comfort us in any place in our lives. The scriptures and the words of modern prophets give us comfort and guidance straight from the Lord. One scripture was shared that really touched my heart:
"Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me" Moses 6:34.
Christ is truly walking by our side every day. The moment we learn to trust in Him, is the moment we begin to see that He can help us overcome all things.
Enjoy your week you wonderful people!
And enjoy some pictures!!! And the picture of all the missionaries is all the missionaries in our mission! It is over 200!!
LOVE YA
