Just as a note following reading the title of this post and in light of some things going on in the world, I felt like I should say that miracles are happening all the time. I loved my mission experience because that is something I really got to share with the people I love. It was so impossible not to see it, thanks to following the Lord. Now that I'm back in ordinary civilian life, I know that is true still. I promise you it is. So write about things you are grateful for every day. Say a prayer and thank your God for the cool things you saw happen today. He is always making something happen in our lives. And there will be many miracles that we don't notice every day because we don't yet understand them. But we'll all keep doing our best.
I know, whoever you are reading this, that life is not easy for you right now. But there is still a miracle. I promise.
Enjoy!
Hello one and all!
LA LOVE:
We had an amazing miracle on exchanges this week (more on that in a bit). We saw this woman cleaning her car and felt like we should talk to her. We had no idea what we were gonna say, but we just kind of sent it. It turns out April is a member of the Redondo ward who hasn't been to church in awhile! She bought us dinner and talked to us about her life and her family. She is so awesome and we have her contact information now!
EVENTS OF THE WEEK:
On p-day we went on an adventure to Daiso and to the tide pools!
In district council this week we had the opportunity to roleplay street contacts and relating anything we observe to our gospel message. We also had a testimony meeting as a district which is always the best.
FRIENDS:
Something we talked about with Nataly and John this week is how we can rely on God and the people around us during our challenges. John has also been sharing the gospel with one of his friends and is doing a great job!
We had the privilege of meeting with the mother of one of our ward member's friends! Tatiana is a super cool lady and loves the Lord. We had a great time talking about faith with her, and her family loves us and wants us to come back!
Sophia is doing great of course. One of my favorite lessons we had with her was about obedience and the commandments. We watched the Book of Mormon video, "Nephi is Led by the Spirit to Obtain the Plates of Brass". After the video, Sophia said she loved how the Lord didn't just tell Nephi what to do, but He told him why it was important. And Nephi had a great attitude in obeying the Lord. Before we could even bring it up, Sophia asked, "Can we actually review the Ten Commandments?" This girl is so with it. We also learned about how if the Book of Mormon is true, then the gospel and The Church of Jesus Christ are true as well. We love her and she is so prepared!
We met with Sister Kakazu and her friend Cathryn! Cathryn is wonderful and has been learning about the gospel for many years. We talked about how when we take the sacrament we can have a personal experience with the Savior and read "Behold the Lamb of God" by Elder Holland. And Cathryn even came to church to hear Sister Kakazu give a talk!
The gospel is true--this I know. It's God's perfect plan for His imperfect children. He is our loving Heavenly Father and He has provided a way for our happiness!
Thanks and much love!
--Sister Day
