It's Tuesday and in the past 24 hours we have had so many miracles! So first of all Ether 12:27 is so true!
"Then will I make weak things become strong unto them"
And here is why:) we had an amazing lesson with our investigator, she is a slower progressing investigator but she's progressing and that's what matters. After the lesson we decided to go to the church and try and contact this referral named Jill. We got to the church and of course I have to use the ladies room, after we just decided to call instead of just showing up at her house. I dial the number and this guy named Mark answers... not Jill, I started to talk with Mark, well two hours later and he is a new potential, we are going to be teaching him! He's amazing and solid! He's a truck driver..., yes, so we will be teaching him over the phone as he drives! This is different but any way you can, I'm so beyond excited :) His house is in Warrensburg and he says when he gets home he wants to meet us, I'm just so beyond excited to see where this goes! I feel really good about him. Well after that miracle we decide to go to the address under Jill's info because apparently the number was wrong. So we showed up and they said she wasn't home but to come back tonight and she should be there. We had a dinner appointment... (which off the record of the story but they have pet pigs and a great Dane dog and he's HUGE!....) anyway after dinner we went back to Jill's and she was home and we gave her a book of Mormon and a bible, she wants us to come back and teach her. We are going back tomorrow too teach her! Well, when we asked for her number just to keep in touch the number that she gave us was the same number I typed in earlier that called mark... So we were super confused and when we got to the car we noticed that I had switched the last two numbers of the phone number 😂, my weakness.. Dyslexia, blessed me and Sister Payne with two new potentials...aka investigators. Heavenly Father truly turns our weaknesses into strengths.
Well today is Wednesday and we had district meeting but before that all of our district went and helped this potential that is totally against the missionary program. She hates it because she gets attached so she doesn't let the missionaries come over anymore, but her daughter is moving and needed help and were desperate so she called us! So we all went over and packed it all up! I also go to meet her pig! Yes a pig and her name is "Missy "😂 so yes, she's my new best friend : ) Anyways after when we were leaving and saying goodbye the lady Sherrie told us that she loved us! And that she wants to feed us dinner! So the missionaries are back! Service truly opens doors❤
District meeting was amazing and I learned to expect success and expect miracles!
The Lord has promised success and miracles and us expecting them is us showing our faith and trust in the Savior!
We had an amazing lesson tonight with Stacy! (Melanie's daughter). Sister Payne and I were trying so hard to plan our lesson for them, we prayed and prayed for guidance but everything we planned just didn't feel right. So like an hour before our lesson we decide, you know what, we need Stacy to open up and tell us how and where she's at. She's met with missionaries before and in all honestly Sister Payne and I had no idea where they left off with her and where she was spiritually. So we decide to just go over and ask a few questions and honestly let the spirit take it from there, and he did! It was a great and a much needed lesson. We now have a game plan and I feel so good about it!
Well I've heard about it for years from other people, but I believe I'm getting this horrible thing called allergies 😂 Yes it's the worst and I now understand why people say they are so miserable. But hey, it is what it is and that's what medicine is for👍
We have the coolest ward! One of the members here is part of The Bomb Squad! Yes, BOMB SQUAD! So they had a 5k this weekend and he told Sister Payne and I, that we could come :) So we went and actually ran and got to talk to a couple of people! (The people that weren't faster them me and couldn't run away from me). Just kidding, but we did get to talk to this one family and they are members but inactive and it's so sad to see because the parents both served missions and have lost there way. So we are going to try and go see them and bring them back.
I love this mission, so much work to do, it is great and we are being blessed.
Love you all so much!
SISTER BITTERS
