Hot, Humid, Busy

May 27, 2014

Hey y'all!

We were exceptionally busy this last week, but it was particularly uneventful, which makes it fairly difficult to provide an interesting account of the last eight days. But I shall try to share whatever excitement my memory can muster. 

We've been blessed to find our investigators mostly by referrals! We've received three referrals in the last two weeks. That has been a great blessing for us. Hopefully they'll be three new investigators by next week. :)

We taught our investigator Lucy today in the beautiful outside under a tree. While she has a lot of questions and doubts, she is searching and open. She's been involved in many religions but associates herself the most with Judaism. She's open to believing in Christ again if she finds that it's right. So here we are, teaching a Jew! She prayed at the end of the lesson and it was a beautiful, sincere prayer. I am looking forward to seeing her progress.

Miracle!! Dawn's nonmember husband that we taught last week CAME TO CHURCH of his own accord on Sunday! No one invited him, he just came. He lost his job the day before and it's humbled him enough to be willing to learn more. We should be teaching him and Jason soon, hopefully this week. 

I just want to share my testimony with that I do know God knows us. He is real, and He is our Father. He knows and loves each of us, perfectly, individually. His number one priority is to help us attain the happiness that He has, and that is because He loves us. He provided a way for us to have salvation-- "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should have everlasting life" (John 3:16). 

He lets us stumble so we can learn from our mistakes and choose for ourselves to follow Him. Like a parent, He is proud of our righteous choices, and blesses us for our positive efforts. He teaches us line upon line, with small and simple things, and we progress the same way; line upon line, through small and simple things. I know God loves me when I see the small, subtle miracles and tender mercies He gives me each day. This morning I prayed to find my camera charger, and when I felt to look in my bag, I found it there. I prayed to be more selfless and giving, then Mosiah 2-- a sermon on service-- was in my scripture reading. It's in the small and simple things! Ask and ye shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you. I know God answers every prayer asked in faith. I know God loves you.

I love y'all too. Have a wonderful week! 

Love,

A Sweaty Faithful Missionary
