Little Miracles

Last Sunday Elder Simmons (over the cars)  said that our car would most likely be done on Monday.  Well Monday came and went, so did Tuesday, as well as Wednesday. . .  Finally on Thursday Elder Simmons called us to let us know that the car was now done!!!  So we now have the car full time at least until transfers which are on the 13th. 

 

Anyways this week was a pretty good week even though multiple appointments fell through.  It has been a fairly cold week as well which means from Wednesday evening until noon on Thursday all missionaries in our mission were grounded and not allowed to leave their apartment.  

 

This week had plenty of little miracles and tender mercies from the Lord! 

 

For the past month we have been trying to get a hold of Stella, but she has not been answering the phone and so when we were at the Mission Office on Thursday the thought came to use Sister Simmon's cell phone to try calling Stella. Guess what?  Stella answered and we were able to schedule an appointment with her.  So the following day when we went to Stella's, she was home as well as her nephew Francis, who I had met the first time that I met Stella, but at that time Francis was living in the Ankeny Ward boundaries so I referred him to the elders serving in that ward.  Come to find out, he is now living with Stella which means he is in our area!!  We had a great lesson with Stella and Francis and it was great, whenever Francis would have a question Stella would just tell him that the Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith is a prophet and that he just needs to go to church.  Now we thought that they would both be coming to church because we even stopped by Sunday morning and another member in our ward answered the door and said that they all were coming, but Stella and Francis never showed up. . .

 

Another miracle from this week was we went to go visit one of the less active couples in our ward. Sister Brown and Hermana Stroud had visited them when we were on exchanges.  So we decided to drop by.  And get this they are both from Wyoming, and they have some property in Star Valley Ranch, plus they love motorcycling!  Anyways,  she is a convert and they were telling us the experiences from her baptism as well as each of their kids baptisms because they had all been baptized in lakes, which I could relate to because I was baptized in the slough (spelling?).  This couple hadn't been to church since the boundaries were all changed, but they came to church yesterday!!!! 

 

Anyways we had a wonderful week and I love working with Sister Brown!  I love helping others feel the love that the Savior has for them and helping them strengthen their relationship with their Father in Heaven, which in turn strengthens my testimony and relationship with my Father in Heaven!

 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Love, Sister Call
