Full Circle

Hello there!

So we've had a very busy week. We had MLC as well as training/president's interviews for all the sisters. So we went around the mission to give the training for the sisters. It was awesome! Definitely a packed week though. We did not have a single day this week without meetings. Plus we had an exchange this week, so Thursday and Saturday were the only days we had to work in our area. It really does test our faith to not get to be with our investigators, but we trust in the Lord that if we take care of His sheep He will take care of ours.

I got to go on an exchange with Hna. Prestgard this week! We were companions for 2 transfers in Solvang. Did I tell you she got transferred to Simi Vally? We serve in the same branch and she covers our old area. It was so amazing to see the power of the Atonement on that exchange. She has changed completely and looked so happy. It was amazing to see that. She told me about an awesome miracle from Solvang!!!!!!!!

Okay so do you remember the story I told you last Thanksgiving how we ate with some members and they had us sit next to their son Judson who was less active and his wife who was a non member? Well they live in Louisiana and we got to talk to them for that whole dinner and it went so well. During the message we shared with the family the spirit was so strong. That's one of a handful of times where I've felt so much like a representative of Jesus Christ. You could tell they were all really feeling the spirit, and the way they looked at us was how I imagine the Nephites looking at the Savior, as if they would bid him to tarry with them a little longer. But we left on time because we wanted to be obedient. I remember that whole day we were really exercising our faith with everyone we talked to, even more than most days. We had a great day but I didn't really see the fruit from it until Hna. Prestgard shared with me yesterday that Judson and his wife had been taking the lessons from the missionaries in Louisiana, and his wife was baptized. I cannot even describe how overjoyed I felt to hear that. I can only imagine what other fruits have come from the seeds we've planted that we just never see. I remember how obedient and faithful we were that day, and the Lord did not forget that. Miracles happen.

Well, that's all for this week. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week :)

Study Preach My Gospel and read your scriptures!!!
