Hello my dear family!
I hope that everything is
going well for you! You are all amazing and I am very fortunate to be a part of
this great family! I hope that you enjoyed the General Women's mtg! I thought
it was absolutely amazing!!! The spirit was so powerful and it was really cool
knowing that even though we were in different places, we were all experiencing
the same things:) Thank you for the package that you sent this week! It was
wonderful!! Thank you for the letters:) Oh and I got a priesthood blessing last
night:) So I am doing much better with everything.:)
So this week was a week
of pretty amazing miracles! Let me tell you of a few of them:)
First of all.. Guess
what?!?! REBECCA CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!!!! Sister Fulbright and I almost
fell out of our seats as we were standing in the church hallway, and here walks
in Rebecca!!! over 30 minutes early!! I am so amazed with her desire to do
what's right even though it is really hard for her. She has so much faith! She
came to church yesterday, knowing that she was going to get really sick as a
result. Whenever we go to teach her, she gets sick because of the scents on us.
She is really sensitive and allergic to any scents including chemicals in
carpets, deodorant, perfumes, cleaners, etc. So that is a really hard challenge
for her. But she is doing amazing and I am so blessed to work with her!
Next, a miracle at the
hospital! So we had just finished dinner on Thursday night when we were driving
out in our area, going to try some less actives. We were driving by
the hospital and I got a strong prompting that we needed to go and visit Sister
Jones there, even though we had just been the day prior. So, we went.
We went up to her room number and the door was shut. A voice from the
other side said "come in!" as we knocked on the door. We opened the
door and to our suprise, Sister Jones wasn't the person in the bed.. You
can probably imagine our shock:) (Apparently Sister Jones had been
released Wednesday night) When we walked into the room, the lady said "Oh
sisters! I am so glad that you came!" We talked to her and found out
that she was a sister in a different ward, and that she had just had a stroke
that day, so she was taken to the hospital. She didn't tell anyone in the ward
that she was there, but she was praying all day that someone from the
church would come and see her. Kind of ironic right? Praying for someone to
come and see you even though no one knew you were there. Well. The Lord
works in mysterious ways! She was crying for most of the time because she felt
so touched that we came. She said that we were an answer to her prayers and
that she could feel that Heavenly Father was aware of her. It was a
very humbling experience. It was very neat being led by the Spirit without
even realizing that we were. Heavenly Father is aware of us! I know,
because He sent 2 strangers across town, to visit His beloved
daughter, Sue Quinette.
We went to the
zoo today with Sister Cooper!! She is so good to us! It was such an
enjoyable experience! The Omaha Zoo is really great! Apparently it is
ranked like 2nd in the Nation!
Wish me luck with
transfers this week. I am pretty nervous to hear what will happen. But I know
that regardless of what happens, I will be where Heavenly Father needs me to be
at this time. Thank you for your letters, love, prayers, and
support:) They mean so much to me and gives me strength to press forward:)
I love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week and enjoy General Conference:)
Hopefully you can have your conference ensigns done in time:)
With love,
Sister
