Well well well, this week was WONDERFUL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Sister Goodman. We have been working SO hard. SO HARD, trying our hardest not to waste one minute of the Lord's time.
and guess what?......
I LOVE TRACTING these days. We are having SO MUCH FUN while we work. We are finding MIRACLES every single day. we found SIX new investigators this week!
We recommitted Louie and Audrey to take the lessons
We found Louise who let us come in and teach her the first lesson. She committed to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it.
We found sweet miss Jan who let us leave the Savior's Peace and Blessing w/ her. She also committed to read the Book of Mormon and pray.
 
Yesterday is when the big miracle happened (I've been doing a fairly large share of happy dances) :)
     So, we tracted an entire street. No one was letting us in, And they were a little less then mean.... But, Heavenly Father led us to that road and He ALWAYS provides a way. So, as we are walking back to our car we see a mom and her daughter on a walk. We tell her who we are and ask if she knows anyone who would be interested. She says "Ya, me and my family".  Uh.... YAY! :) so we walk down with her (Ta'Shanda) and her cute little 7 year old daughter (La'Niyah) to their home. We left the Saviors Peace and Blessing with them (a special prayer we leave as representatives of Jesus Christ). They loved the feeling they had as we left that prayer. They felt the Spirit and wanted us to come back TONIGHT!! So, we are going to teach them lesson one tonight and plan to set a baptismal date with them!! SHe is inviting her gma and her sister too!!! Heavenly Father is preparing these people that we are meeting, and it is WONDERFUL to see. We arent doing anything special, just doing what He sent us here to do, and He is providing us with MIRACLES! I LOVE being a missionary!!!
I love you all SOOOO soo sooo much!!! have a beautiful week!! :)
 
ONe love:)
