This week was full of miracles! On Saturday night, we felt inspired to knock on a door while we were Inetting. It was getting late and was already dark out. We knocked on this door and a lady answered and we invited her to watch the 1 min sacrament video. She agreed to watch it and she was super interested in coming to church. She didn't have a ride so we started building a member team. Our branch mission leader picked up her and her 2 kids and brought them to church. We had a member sit by her in sacrament. She came with us and met some of the branch Missionaries in gospel principles. The primary music person invited her 3 year old go with her into primary and the primary welcomed her by singing the welcome song and she left super happy. Also in relief society, a member sat by her who has a young kid as well and became really good friends with her. The member invited her into her home with us for dinner on Wednesday! She is probably a 3-5 week baptism! It was a super awesome week!
Another Sunday Miracle is Brian came to church! He said he wanted to come and wasn't too sure about coming because of his medical issues. He said if he did come, it would only be for 30 minutes. When we were pulling into the church parking lot, we saw his truck and were super pumped about it! He met quite a few members and said he enjoyed church! After church before he left, we asked him if anything stuck out to him or if he felt inspired. He said he was going to come next week and felt good... but later that night, we got a call from Brian and he said he was thinking about church and some of the things he learned and felt super good and inspired. He also told us that he had started to pray every night and morning and has noticed a huge difference in his life! It was an amazing Sabbath!
Some sad news and crazy news that happened is we went to see Jennifer. When we got there, she said that her boyfriend had beaten her with a bad and had gone to prison! That was a shocker! She showed us some bruises and explained what happened. She is probably going to move to lake city soon so that was sad news.
Another thing that happened this week was Hurricane Michael. I was not effected by it besides 30 minutes of rain and a little wind. We went to Lake City with the other elders and spent the day there doing missionary work. It was a good time! After, we have heard some about the condition of the Hurricanes path and it isn't good! They need a ton of help and resources. They have lost all cell service, have no gas, hardly any structures within miles of the beach are even standing.... We were told that for about 80 miles, there isn't a single standing pine tree. People don't have any transportation or resources. Every store is closed! It may take months to get power back because the whole power grid has to be rebuilt. It is a time to definitely be grateful for everything we have as well as a time to pray for those who don't and to do everything we can to serve. I hope that they will let us Missionaries go down and do some service but who knows!
Last of all, we got to do some service on Saturday. We "mowed" Brian's lawn with a motor less lawnmower. In about an hour, we had finished a 15'-50' section! Haha it was super fun though and we enjoyed it. This week was amazing! Miracles have not ceased! I also would challenge everyone to pray for the people affected by Hurricane Michael. They need the prayers! I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
