No Excuses

Hey hey hey!!!

This week was another bomb week!!! Still keeping super busy and loving the work:)

Elizabeth came to church!!! This was the first time she's come in at least 3 months. It's been a struggle getting her there because she has some health problems. But we worked with her all week to rest up and eat good food so she'd be healthy on Sunday. And it worked! Sunday morning came around and we called her at 10:30 and woke her up. She was so tired and was saying how she just wanted to go back to bed, needed to shower, and didn't have enough time to get ready. But were like, "well we'll be at your house in 2 minutes with a dress and we already have a ride scheduled to pick you up so no excuses!!" It was so funny.
She showed up right as church was starting and was looking really nice in my yellow dress! After church, we talked about how she liked it and she was so glad she came. "And I got so many compliments on your dress!" So I just told her she could keep it as a gift. She was so happy! "Now I have no excuses!"

We were walking around Harmon Hills (the sketch apartments that I love so much haha) one evening and there was this lady hanging out in a lawn chair just vibing to some music and drinking. We started talking with her and she was SO funny. She told us how beautiful we were and was so confused that our names were Sisters. Her daughter came out and they started talking about how they need to go to a church and are interested in hearing a message! So we're going to go back this week:) We also met this other family that had a similar story (minus the music and alcohol haha). We're going to start teaching them too!

I know Heavenly Father is preparing people to hear His message. Sister Stevenson says, "the field is white already to harvest"- not brown and ready to plant but white! There are so many people who are ready to accept the gospel, they just haven't heard it yet! The Lord is leading this work. This is His church. It brings so much joy into my life! He has a plan for us and knows what each of us are going through.

Hope you're all doing good! Have a great week!! Love you!
