It was a week packed
full of miracles. I am so in awe of Heavenly Father and His tapestry of love
and individual plans for each of us. It's incredible as a missionary to get a
glimpse of that love and thought He puts into the lives of those I'm serving. I
truly get a front row seat at watching the atonement of Jesus Christ change
people's lives.
My favorite miracle
right now is Alex. To make a long story short we got a phone call from Sister
Ory, a member in Covington about our fourth day in the area. She explained that
Alex reached out to her son who is on a mission in California. Alex was going
through a really tough time and she remembered how happy the Ory's were and
recognized the light they had. She recognized that the light they carried came
from being members of the church! Because of some hard things that just
happened, Alex didn't feel comfortable meeting with Elders. Sister Ory was
called us and we explained to her that we had JUST been put into the area!
There weren't sisters at LSU before. Again, I am just so amazed at Heavenly
Father's plan. There have been so many moments in Alex's life that have
prepared her for this moment. We met with Alex this week and she is so ready
for the gospel!
When we pray in
specifics, God answers in specifics. Something Sister Edwards and I have
started focusing on recently is praying for specific experiences. We'll talk
about the people we meet and ask ourselves "What kind of experience should
we pray for this person to have?" Then we pray together for them and work
as hard as we can to allow it to happen. Heavenly Father is so good and I know
He is answering our prayers. The work continues to move forward, one little
miracle at a time.
I love y'all! Have an
amazing week.
