Talk To Everyone

Holy cow! Another week gone by and we are just seeing miracles up in here!  So we have been able to see the fruits of our labors here! Last week was spent all tracting, finding, calling and such, one of the most exhausting weeks of my life! We had found so many people though, even with knocking the town for the 5th time.  Cray eh?

The best miracle that happened this past week was when I went on splits with President Moore. We went and met with this lady named Rita. We actually ran into Rita a couple months ago. Elder Westergard and I knocked on her door and it was one of her kids birthday parties and all she said was "Come back another time!" Did not even have time to get her phone number, so we have dropped by quite a bit in the past couple months and, we were pretty lucky, her husband was pulling up the driveway a couple a weeks ago and gave us her number. So we texted her and were able to set it up! So I went with President Moore and she just told us about her experiences with missionaries! Every time when she was feeling down in life, or things were just rough, the missionaries would just pop up out of nowhere! Said that she was even parked out in the middle of nowhere one time and they showed up! She was so curious about why that happens, because whatever bad feelings she had at the time, the missionaries seemed to just take it away! Crazy eh? So we taught the Restoration after that, and she said she knew it was true, that it made sense! So cool!

So that miracle literally blows all the other miracles out of the water! We have been finding and teaching quite a bit though! Even in a town of 3-4000, and you think you have talked to everyone, you figure out just how wrong you are really quickly.

God has just been so good though! I am sad to leave, but, I learned so much from this area! Working even though you have felt that you talked to everyone, giving it all even when there are so many hills to climb (literally). Such a refiners fire up here in the north!

I am excited for a new adventure though, especially in Kelowna!

Anyway, sure love and miss yall!

Love
