HOWDY YALLL!!! This week was super good! We had lots of crazy miracles! We were like way hyped from General Conference and then we had zone conference. We tried really hard to talk to everyone and act on every prompting and its crazy what happened when we started doing that.
Monday:
We got flu shots... guys you should all be so proud of me because 1. I got a flu shot 2. I didn't pass out !! I did get a bit light headed but I pulled through in the end lol. We played cards with the district and Elder Moffatt (our senior couple). Then we went out finding! I had a very strong prompting we needed to go to Lowes and at 1st I was like nah there are not going to be ysa at Lowes there are just gonna be lots of dads. LOL But I couldn't shake it so we decided to go to Lowes. And we ended up finding someone who worked there! We introduced the bom and she started tearing up and told us we were an answer to prayer. We scheduled a time to meet with her so it was way cool though and the spirit was so strong!
Tuesday:
We had a few lessons, then we went finding/ contacting. We talked to this guy who told us that apparently Joplin is like one of the largest places for human trafficking in the US so now I feel real safe yikes... also someone should fact check that and let me know if that's true and not tell me even if it is... thank u
Wednesday:
We had mlc review and the Crosslines shipment!! Which means the whole zone got to do service with us it's actually wayyy hype even though I'm always sore for days lol!! We got to share a scripture with one of the ladies that works there and she ended up asking for a bom!!!
Thursday:
We had a lesson with a recent convert and it was way good. Then we went contacting, felt like we needed to go to one of our friends houses. She had kinda ghosted us but we knocked anyway and she answered! She seemed a bit off so we shared a scripture with her and prayed and then left. We got to the car and felt like we needed to invite her to ysa night that night and that it needed to be in person. So we went back and knocked again and she answered and was crying. She opened up to us and we had a good conversation and invited her to ysa night, she ended up coming and really liking it!!
Friday:
We had exchanges! So I got to go to the family ward w/ Sister Daybell!! It was soooo fun! We talked to so many old people! We went to the old folks home and talked to some people there and I bonded w/ a guy about our love for bananas- he's a homie. Then we went to this old lady's house who is the sweetest ever! She kept calling us little rascals and squeezing our hands. She was so tender! Then when she found out this was probably my only time seeing her she demanded that I come and see her if I'm getting transferred lol
Saturday:
All our appointments bailed once we got to Joplin so we just decided to contact and find. We knocked lots of doors and we got to talk to some really cool people! Our zone has been emphasizing acting on every prompting so w/ that we just decided we would talk to everyone and knock every door we felt we needed to. And most of them didn't answer or weren't interested and at first I was low-key mad about it because I had been acting on every prompting but I wasn't seeing results. Then I realized that you never know who's watching, maybe someone saw us and it planted a seed, maybe the reason why God led us to a certain door was because he knew we would be close to someone else. I feel like that's the hardest part about missionary work but also the most amazing part because most of the time you don't see the fruits of your labors. You just have to trust that you did your part.
Sunday:
Today was one of those days where ur just like what in the actual. First off we had so many people at church today it was crazy! And we had break the fast after and it was sooo fun! And then sisters in another area called us to tell us about a miracle that happened today so basically a non member felt prompted that they needed to come to our church so they did and she bore her testimony about how she felt prompted to come here and then the sisters met up with her after and taught her the restoration. Then they put her on date for baptism!! And she's ysa so now they're passing her off to us!!!!! CRAZYYYY! I ABOUT FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR lol! And then I had been praying so hard to find more ysa this whole week. We were at the park doing some contacting and I had a prompting to wave at this guy on his bike and at first I was like nah that's awkward cause he's not gonna wave back cause he's on a bike . But then the spirit was like you need to wave to him now! And so I did and this man stops in his tracks and came to sit by us! I was shook. So we introduced the bom and taught him the restoration! And then we invited him to be baptized and he accepted!!! Act on promptings guys! Literally all It took was me doing something as small as waving at this guy for him to be open and interested in what we had to say.
Challenge:
Be the person God wants you to be. Pray to know what attributes you need to develop to get there. Ask yourself in each scenario what would the person God wants me to be do in this scenario? And then do it. I've been doing this with missionary work and it's crazy how much easier it is to change when you have a vision of who you want to become!
Love ya'll! Have a blessed day
