I saw a British dude eat a fajita with a fork!

Man.... It was a solid week. A ton happened and it felt like it's been at least 3 weeks since last Monday. Last pday we went to the mall and emailed while we sat in massage chairs. Today we went to the beach!!! Ahhh... I love the beach..

This week was a huge week of learning and seeing God's hand. The beginning of the week was a little rough for me. I just still felt overwhelmed with everything and it honestly felt a little like college again and it made me sick. But we had exchanges with the wonderful Sister Judd and she made me feel a lot better because she's felt a lot of the same things I have. So that was helpful. It was really nice just to talk and feel heard. 

It was just a really good week that helped me remember that God does actually love me and that he does answer prayers. I mean I knew he did and would, but I guess I've just never had a super huge moment in my life where I had any reason to doubt. I've always just trusted him. I've needed him for sure and I've always had a good relationship with him but I've never needed to know he was there so desperately than my mission. I knew my prayers would be answered but I didn't think they'd be answered so fast. I wanted to share some of them with you all because they really meant a ton to me.

▪When I was talking to sister Judd she mentioned that maybe I should call the mission President and I thought it would be a good idea but I felt kind of nervous about it and didn't want to be a burden. But then the next morning he called us!! I'm not quite sure he knew why he was calling us... But then I asked if I could talk to him and he counseled with me for a little bit. I know God inspired him to call us. 

▪ then we had a really confusing missionary correlation where I was hoping That we could get some help from the ward but our 1st counselor just kind of talked at us for an hour then at the end asked what he could do for us and we had to be at a dinner in 5 minutes. So I felt even more stressed. I had the thought to call the zone leaders and then they messaged the zone and said that they wanted us to call them and tell them about how the ward could improve in working with missionaries because the stake was having a meeting where they were talking about just that! God answers the silent prayers too. 

▪ We got our investigator D- to commit to the Word of Wisdom without a problem. We were worried that it might turn him away but he was totally willing and so ready for baptism. 

▪ God lead us to another family to teach!! They let us right in and we taught their entire family the restoration!! Their children felt the spirit really strong and just loved us. The parents are skeptical but they have a sincere desire to know if what we said is true. They want us to come over for dinner sometime!! The guy's mom is actually a member of our ward and it was an answer to her prayer as well that we found them! 

▪ We also got 2 referrals which have never happened since I've been on a mission. They came from 2 separate ward members 2 days in a row that both picked up random people and gave them a ride home. The holy ghost is awesome!!!! 

▪ yesterday our dinner cancelled and I was bummed because I really wanted a dinner and I was hoping we could talk to on a ward member and see if we could come to their house because they're always inviting people over but I didn't get a chance to talk to him and I didn't want to be needy. For some reason I was just stressed about it because now we didn't have plans and I said a prayer that I could stop worrying about dinner. Then this lady pulls up to us after church and she asks what our plans were and I said we were flexible and she invites us over for dinner!! Like holy cow!!!! I gotta admit I was kinda doubting because I didn't think that my trivial concerns deserved heavenly father's time. But he did. Because I matter. And if someone like me matters, YOU MATTER. 

A thought that's inspired my mind a lot is the fact that Heavenly Father is an infinite being. And because time doesn't apply to him he has an infinite amount of time to spend with each one of us. We think he's defined because he has a body and he can't be everywhere at once but he can, he can be with each person on this earth. Because he has all the time in the world. So those little coincidences, those little miracles, those are 100% God. He's always with us. Anyways that's my takeaway!! Hope to hear from you all soon!!
