Happy Valentines day ❤️
First happy valentines day!! Hope yall ate tons of chocolate and watched some cheesy chick flicks!! Anyways onto the highlights! Also if you don't usually read and just go straight to the pics I recommend at least reading the last paragraph(I'll put a star next to it) because it was crazy cool! Anyways...
-had district p day and we again played basketball (not complaining I actually loved it haha) and had nerf war! Then the Spanish elders took all of us over to an authentic Mexican restaurant and we got these really good tacos! I tried Cow cheek (idk that's what they said it was) for the first time and lowkey not bad, better than raccoon.
-worked on getting moved members new addys this week. Long and lowkey boring but somehow one ended up living in Florida and is in the area of one of my friends Taylor Stevens!
- went on exchanges this week and I got to be with Sister Mecham again!!! Ahhh she is the best! She's only been out for about 2 months but man she is a powerhouse missionary! She taught me so so much! Plus she does this thing where randomly in the car she asks her companion to bear their testimony about an aspect of the gospel and it was sooo amazing!!
-Put our friend Michael on date for baptism and then he showed up to church on sunday! It was stake conference which was even cooler!!! We are so so excited for Michael and for his decision to be baptized!
-Stake conference was amazing! We had Elder Pingree Jr. and he is just amazing! Me and my comp and the ZLs got to go to the stake leadership meeting alongside the other two meetings and it was really cool to get to be a part of the discussions and ways to help members and friends feel welcome and belonging in the church!!
Last thing, since this is already so long I'm gonna use this miracle as my spiritual thought!!
☆So me and Sis Helm and Caroline were out and we knocked on a PMFs house but they didn't answer so we got back in the car. As we are driving away sis helm goes "Stop we need to knock this door." So we get out and knock and this 13 year old girl answers the door with her grandpa! They are so sweet and let us in. The girl tell us she had literally prayed the night before to learn more about God and Jesus and then we showed up on their doorstep! And the grandpa's brother is apparently a member of the church! Then it got even crazier! The mom came home and she was like," oh we know yall! We are good friends with the colliers!" The Colliers are people in one of our wards!! It was so cool and we taught a little and got a return appointment! And now finally to top it off we got into our area book and look up their names to see if they had past records of meeting with the missionaries and guess what they did! But there was only a phone number for the mom, no address! STRAIGHT MIRACLES! God is so good and I know He lead us to their house that day! Follow your spiritual promptings, because it may seem small but huge miracles and blessings can come from the little things!!
Love yall and God loves you even more!
