HELLO EVERYONE!
Happy monday! hope you had a great general conference weekend! wasn't it so good?! this week was INCREDIBLE! we saw so many miracles and it was so fun to get to know my new area and companion:) Foothills YSA is wonderful!
Here's a few of the miracles from the week:
☆ First day in this area, we were walking down a street and ran into this guy named Carlos! Shared a scripture with him and he said yes to wanting to learn more! We then were able to meet with him a few times later that week (which actually was such a hassle finding him because he kept getting lost haha). But on our second lesson, we invited him to be baptized on April 22nd and he said yes! YAY! He's ready for a change in his life and so excited to have a big new family. Please pray for Carlos!
☆ We were leaving an apartment complex Saturday night and there was this guy that was about to get into his car. We asked if we could share a scripture with him and he responded with, "I do a lot of drugs." We said, "well, do you want to change?" He thought about it for a second and said, "Actually, yeah kinda." haha it was awesome!!
That next day, he came to the church to watch the Sunday afternoon session of general conference with us and loved it! After he texted us saying, "...idk you guys are cool if you want me back I'll come back lmk. It's literally like an alternate reality. I like it." WAHOO!! Yes, please come back! We need you! And now he's coming to fhe tonight!
☆ It seriously felt like we had very little time to be missionaries this week but each time we went out, the Lord truly magnified our efforts. We were able to find 12 new people to teach and talk to many others! I know if it wasn't for His help, that wouldn't of been the case. He is good
Alright, love you all!! Remember what President Nelson said this weekend, "Following Him is the only way to enduring happiness." It's true!! This is pure joy and it's just THE best! so keep putting Christ in the center and everything else will work out.
Have a great week!
Lots of love!!!
