On Tuesday, Sister Mellor and I still didn't have the car. And we really didn't have many people to teach who were close enough we could walk to. And so what did we do?? We prayed, of course!
And God was good to us.
We set out walking and met SO many people! We knocked on some doors, and talked to as many people outside as we could. People have never been that open or receptive to us. We taught 4 lessons to these new people and set up return appointments with many of them. We were on fire, and were so blessed with the chance to meet these people.
Just an experience that added to my testimony of prayer.
Then when we did have the car, we were able to go see a whole bunch of Bible referrals! And were able to teach a lot of them as well! They ended up being a big blessing as well. I was (and still am) feeling ever so grateful for how our time was able to be filled this week.
That really all was a small miracle in and of itself.
Also! On Friday Sister Mellor and I talked about Brighton and how we could help her during our weekly planning. It was hard to know what to do because we haven't heard from her in so long. But we finished our planning, and checked the phone and we had a text from...Brighton! She's out of the hospital and doing better and I think we'll be seeing her soon!!
And then there was General Conference! I simply could not pick a favorite talk from that. Having the opportunity to hear from such inspired men really is something I will never take for granted again. I learned so much! One thing I particularly loved was Elder Nelson's talk on joy. Sometimes it's hard to remember that life is not meant to be miserable, and that through Christ we can always find joy! So put a smile on your face, and get to it, my friends!! :)
I also thought there was a missionary theme going on (perhaps a little more so because I'm a missionary), but it got me fired up for the work! And it was fun to imagine all of my missionary friends, sitting in their various places around the world, all singing "Called to Serve" together. What a great work this is, and how glad I am to be a part of it and share the joy of the gospel!!
Oh, and thank you grandma for the cute necklaces! Sister Mellor and I have already gotten compliments on them!
(The picture of the trees is for you, mom. That's about as much color change as these trees are seeing right now...haha, still pretty green!)
