Ok we have had so many crazy miracles straight from God this week.
Like, insane. I guess I'll list a couple off.
us and is like " hey I need to go to the bathroom, can you guys watch
my stuff?" So we're like yeah sure and we move to her bench. She comes
back out and we start talking to her and she is from some country
close to Thailand and Malaysia and she is Buddhist. The "God is in
everything" type. I asked her if she has ever learned much about
Christianity before and she says "no, can you tell me about it?" And
we teach her the restoration which she LOVED. we asked when we could
give her a copy of the Book of Mormon and she says "I'm free
tomorrow!" We bring an awesome member named Emily and teach the plan
of salvation and giver her the Book of Mormon and she is just SO
excited about it. It was amazing to see when she learned about all the
things Christ has done for her she said it made her feel so good. The
power of Christ atonement it so real!! In the closing prayer she just
breaks down bawling and says "I'm sorry I don't know why I'm crying I
am just so happy!!" And she is literally the cutest thing ever. She
couldn't come to church this week but wants to come next week!
and so we compliment her shoes, as you mind missionaries doing. Well
she tells us where they are from and all but looks kind of in a hurry
and kinda just starts leaving and says bye and we kinda slacked on
this one and just said bye back but then, in the midst of her brisk
walk, she just halts to a stop out of nowhere, pauses, turns around
and says "what are your tags for?" We told her we were missionaries
and she asked if we were Mormon and we said yes. And she's like " this
is going to sound crazy but Mormons keeps just showing up in my life.
Aaaaand I think it's a sign from God. There are some things I don't
necessarily believe about your religion, but I can't really remember
what they are. But I think God is pulling me to it. " so we asked if
we could set up a time with her and she was SO excited. It was
straight crazy. Even through our imperfections and mistakes God is
perfect and has a plan :) our district leader had us study scriptures
that had the wording "hear my voice" there were so many. They are all
so good. And many of them say "mine elect will hear my voice" I know
that even though there are so many people, and so many of them are
uninterested, that those who are prepared will hear the voice of the
Lord. Even if he's telling them to turn around and go back to those
Mormons on the bench hat everyone else is avoiding. I have a strong
testimony that there are people prepared everywhere!
named Gracie who has on and off investigated the church for over 2
years. We are the first sister to teach her and she needs to recieve
an answer from God that Joseph smith was a prophet. She is so awesome
it kills me.
the vineyard and it was so good! It talked about how we can be joyful
when others receive blessings from God, but even more so it talked
about how no matter how Late we are in joining God army, we can obtain
the fullness of Christs blessings. My favorite quote is from it is
"surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of
being merciful, especially to those who don’t expect it and often feel
they don’t deserve it." Remember that you always deserve Gods
blessings and so does everyone around you! I know God is all merciful
and all loving and the more mercy and love we show to others, the
closer we become with Him :)

Hello Fammmm!
Today is super crazy because of a 4 hour mission event :) Yeah sister Alius went to timpview! So she knows who Boone is. She has been out just 1 transfer less than me.
this place has been packed. We keep trying to help people unload and
move in and stuff but very few people let us haha. We have talked to a
whole ton of people! It's been very hard getting return appointments
because people don't know their schedules and they are all stressed
haha.

Hello fam bam!
teaches institute here is Brother and Sister Dabb from Kaysville Utah!
Dad, brother Dabb knows you. They are pretty cool. Also Sadie Hall is
companions with Sister Scott, my granddaughter. So yeah good times. I
think I get to meet her next week!
THIS SATURDAY! She is so perfect it's crazy. She actually found the
church because she worked with a member who invited her to church and
now she has the strongest testimony ever! She has had a rough
upbringing and she knows that everything can be healed through Christ,
I love her so much!!
were trying to get ahold of him and our dumb phone received his
message 5 days after he sent it that said he quits the religion. We
set up a time to meet with him and he told us all these concerns he
had. He doesn't want to make new friends and he's afraid of losing
friends, his dad is like one of the head honchos in the Chinese
government and they aren't allowed to have any religious beliefs at
all, and he is afraid that his family will be mad and think he came
here to learn about God and waste time on religion when he should be
studying. But here's the best part hahahaha he felt soooo bad but said
he really only set up a time to meet in the first place because he's
basically in love with Sister Alius hahahaha this is literally the
strug being her companion on OSU but he apologized to the picture of
president monson that was in the room for saying that. Hahaha he's
sooo adorable. Then he felt super bad because he tells us "I rejected
your call twice, I've never done that to anyone before!!" So we
basically promised blessings and we are going to meet with him for 10
min every day this week to see if he can feel God in his life. The
cool thing is he brought up his grandpa who just passed away and said
he can't feel him, but he wants to. And then at the end he says " I
have to ask you two a question. You don't even know me, I could do bad
things and be a very bad person, why do you even want to help me?" And
we were able to testify of gods love for everyone. It was a really
powerful moment. He said the prayer at the end and it was so sincere
and perfect and he literally just repented right then and there it was
so cool. I asked him how he felt after praying and he said he felt
happy. God really has a hand in everyone's lives :)
the mission. A lot. Because it literally brings miracles. So I was
kinda doubting and wondering if it was really doing much anymore
because I've gotten so accustomed to it so this week I focused extra
hard on it and while I was praying I asked God to help me continue to
feel the blessings that come. Sister Alius and I have really been
struggling to get people to church and new investigators have been
hard to get as well so I fasted very specifically for help in those
two things, and God ALWAYS keeps his promises! We got 4 people to
church this week! Which is more than 4x as many as we got the last 2
weeks combined :} haha so that we great. And even though we didn't
have a whole ton of contacting time on Sunday we were able to get the
2 new investigators we needed to complete our weekly goal! Fasting is
so underutilized, YOU ALL NEED TO TRY IT MORE.

Ps. 3rd nephite Taylor neuffer just got called as our new ward mission
leader and he's literally flawless. Quote from him this week "here's
my set schedule. Anything outside of that I should be pretty open. I
literally have nothing better to do with my time than the work of
salvation so"
