God Gives TOO MUCH

September 22, 2014

Well my friends. This is the last. The last. SO WEIRD. This past week was crazy. We have had TOO many miracles to count. They just keep coming. And we feel so unworthy! We are just trying our best and putting full confidence in our Savoir.

This weekend we have two Investigators getting baptized! Barbara and Michal. What a blessing! They are both solid and love the Lord. We would've had 3 but Sonia is leaving out of town this weekend! We have had such amazing investigators. So blessed. Michal has been doing great. Solid from the beginning. He has been to church every week since the moment we met him! He has been praying for the past few weeks about baptism. Finally we sat him down and were lovingly bold. He had attended a baptism Saturday and was really touched. We have been praying for him for weeks now to come to the realization that he is ready. So after the baptismal service we asked him to pray specifically for next Saturday (the 27th). Well we met with him Last Night right before our movie night (watched 17 Miracles!! woot woot) And we asked him....and he said, "ya, je suis prêt" ("yes, I am ready") Me and Soeur Magleby did our best to keep our composure....but inside it was like this "modihnergnqig!!!!!nmertjmgqmsdlfjmme!!!!!!!!g,qmlrgjqsf!!!!" aka we were freaking out! SO HAPPY!! Its fun to see the change in someone. To see it in their eyes, to witness them show their faith! 

Sonia is still on fire!!! She is BLOWING through the lessons! We see her almost everyday and are the best of friends! She also has made serious changes!! She is about finished smoking and we taught her Chastity, in which the day after she broke up with her boyfriend, and Tithing, in which she happily accepted by saying "with the money I will be saving on stopping smoking I will just give to the church!". She is so prepared and loves us beyond words!! Unfortunately I wont be present for her Baptism BUT we already figured it out and I will Skype in hahaha 

SO funny story of the week!!! The ZLs had a baptism this week. Well when the time came for the ordinance to be preformed we discovered the font had drained. #disaster So they ushered everyone back in to the sacrament room to finish of the talks....while the rest of us scrambled to fill a baptismal font that normally takes HOURS to fill up in 15 minutes. We literally had every tap going in that church filling up buckets. It was quite the experience! I can honestly say I have never gotten such a huge workout at a baptismal service in my life!!! haha We got that thing filled SO fast!! It was amazing! By the end all of us missionaries were sweating, laughing, and felt way to accomplished! HAHA ohhh the memories! I LOVE my mission. It has been so far the best 1 and 1/2 of my life and of course the best 1 and 1/2 FOR my life! 

I don’t even know what else to say honestly. two many miracles to share, details, funny stories.....and with only a few days until I will be telling them. This last week I was crazy stressing about coming home. But then I talked with a few missionaries and they gave me some great advice to read my patriarchal Blessing and WOW it was a crazy enriching. I just came to the realization that I have work to do other than here in the mission and to continue progression it’s a normal thing to return home and continue! So I am super at peace about it BUT still gonna work my tail off these last few precious moments I have. Because once a missionary, ALWAYS a missionary!!! 

Love you all. 

See you soon. 

God bless you!
