Meetings and Phone Calls, January 17, 2022

Hello everyone!! Not the most exciting subject line I know but bear with me this week was wild! 

We were running around like crazy all week going from one place to another and we saw many miracles from the Lord. 

Elder Davis and I are relying on the promise that the Lord will lead people to us or us to them and we saw both of those this week! We went out and about after we had prayed where to go and we ran into people to talk to, sometimes the people we talked to reached out to us. 

There was this one man named Donnell, we had commented on his jacket as we passed by him and he thanked us and continued on his way. Well we crossed the street and then we heard yelling and we turned around and he motioned us over to him and he asked us if we had a message for him. Man we were floored that never happens! We started to talk to him, he has a strong faith in Christ and shared a cool experience with us. He gave us his email and we'll be reaching back out to him this week. 

We also had a super amazing lesson with our friend Denise, she is super awesome. We came in and taught her the Restoration, she loved it and she has been reading the Book of Mormon quite a bit and says she feels peaceful and calm when she reads it. We extended a baptismal invite to her and she said she wants to be baptized. It is just a matter of when so we are praying for a day that she will be baptized. It is awesome! 

We had lots of meetings this week, I enjoy counseling with others on how we can move the work forward. It has been good, tiring but good. 

We had a very difficult phone call with one of our dear friends. She is experiencing a lot right now and while on the phone and afterwards the only thing Elder Davis and I could think to do for her was to point her to Christ and lay her burdens at His feet so He could take them and make her life more peaceful. 

I know that if we turn our lives over to Christ, which is not easy, we will find peace. I have found immense comfort and joy from doing just that and I promise the same to each and every single one of you! 

I love you all, hope you stay healthy and safe out there!
