Hola Familia! How was your week? I hope it was supa good! I really hope Kels is doin good in the MTC and that LAYNA IS SO EXCITED TO SERVE IN BOLIVIA!!!!!!! That's AMAZING!!!! I am SOOO excited for her!!! Gosh:) I am soo happy we get to spend a month together before she leaves!!! haha we can help eachother transition:) I have been prayin like crazy for both of them!!! I am so glad to hear Brother Lamay's surgery went well! I have been prayin like crazy for him as well! So this week...was real good!:) Every week is real good:) its a mission. but it was also super busy! So we had lots of mini exchanges with our sisters because a couple of them are struggling with personal problems and just needed some extra help. While on exchanges one of the sisters and I got to help with a ton of stuff on the farm....I sure loved that!:) Then afterwards, they have this girl who is from foster care living with them and she knows nothing about God. We were able to teach her who God is. Wow. Such a powerful lesson. We explained feelings she's had...but didn't recognize they were from God. IT was so powerful. I cant imagine not knowing who God is! Just think...what would your life be like without him? Anyways...we commited her to pray that night to simply just feel His love...then she came to church on sunday and wants to continue meeting us to learn more about Him!! ooh yea:) Another miracle was a member from the YSA invited us over to teach a friend on the UNK basketball team. They are teammates and she has been tryin to share the gospel with her for awhile now. HOLY COW. Yea that girl is prepared. We taught the restoration and when we said the first vision she just was cryin. Afterwards we asked how she felt when we said those words...she said, "I know this feeling is from God. I know what you said is true." Dang.:) Shes so excited to continue to learn! Heck, we are so excited to teach her! God just keeps miralces comin!!! We are soo blessed!! Ok so I gotta share just a couple more miralces then Ill be done! Sorry! Well this wasn't really a miracle...more just plain scary...but hey it counts. So we had MLC this week (Missionary Leadership council) (where all the zone leaders and sister training leaders and Assistants and President meet and discuss trainings and things goin on in our mission) and usually President gives a training, and Sister Weston, and the Assistants and that's it. But the Assistants called and asked if me and Sister Lutz would train as well.....we found out 2 days before MLC and we were on exchanges up until MLC so we had zero time to prepare. We prepared it the morning of MLC when we were drivin to Omaha. Andddd it worked!!! IT went good!! President was really excited cuz it answered a lot of questions the council had come up with! ill tell ya right now it wasn't us at all! The spirit did it ALL! It was truly a miracle. We had no idea how we were gonna pull it off but God just made it happen:) He's da best.:) Ok so 2 last miralces then ill be done!!! So the missionaires hve been meeting with this lady named L for months and months now. Shes an "enternigator" but this week...she came to church!!! We had a powerful lesson on acting...and how action brings blessings and answeres. Then she acted and came!!:) She even stayed all 3 hours! She liked it a lot and her little girl loved it! Ok last miracle I'll share!! So last night it was getting late and it was the last night of the week and we still hadn't gotten a new investigator for the week! (our mission is focusing on every companionship bein a star companionship...which is a number in every key indicator) so we really need a new investigator so we could be a star companionship again! We headed over to see S (one of our YSA investigators) and were gonna see if we could have her mom or boyfriend become a new investigator. We prayed and got out of the car and didn't feel too good about it. We were walkin up to her apartment when I hear someone say "Ashley". Haha it made no sense. I was a little weirded out. But we both just stopped and went back in the car. We felt prompted to go to this other apartment complex and go tracting. We knocked every dang door in that place. Finally it was 8:59 and we had one more door to knock.....this girl opened and guess what?? Her name was Ashley!!! she took a BOM and let us share a message!!! She become our new investigator!! ha God wanted us to find her!:) It was cool cuz I heard "Ashley" loud and clear....but had no idea what it meant. But we just started acting, and then God's purposes were made clear to us:) It was a cool testimony builder to me that sometimes we just needa act, even when we have no idea why...and trust that God has a better plan in mind:) We just needa trust Him:) Well this week somethin I really learned was its ok to not be perfect. Its ok to not be the smartest! Ha its been real nice to learn! :) I have just been beatin myself up lately because I don't know enough scriptures, or don't know all the answers to questions....and its just frustratin cuz I want to be able to know so I can help people the very best I can! But our mission president told us in our meeting that the The Lord doesn't need smart people. He needs childlike people. He said "Why do you think were constantly getting new missionaires?? cuz the old ones get too smart and need to go home!!!! The humble ones are the ones who change hearts." Haha he wants our mission to focus on bein childlike:) Not childish but childlike. Childish is silly, immature, foolish, irresponsible. Where Childlike is innocent, unworldly, unaffected. I LOVE that word...unaffected. Are we unaffected by the things around us? Do we just choose to be happy no matter what happens? Happiness is a choice. Only 10% of what actually happens affects your attitude! The rest is up to you!! Happiness is a sign of courage. A sign of faith. Just choose to be unaffected!! To be happy:) Anyways...I went off on that....but basically the reason we need to be more childlike is because then we listen to the spirit. When we know so much....we just rely upon ourselves for knowledge, not waiting, listening for the spirit. We cant let what we know....get in the way of what we can learn. sooooo basically .....don't get too smart for your britches:) that's all I have to say. Oh and one more thing.....I noticed before that I was talkin to myself in a very rude way. I was tellin myself that I wasn't very smart...and that I didn't know things. but that aint right!! He also told us that we need to talk to ourselves like the Savior would:) I have been tryin to do that lately....and its made a world of a difference!!! Anyways sorry this is all over the place with a million different ideas but I am done now!!! I love you guys!! have a great week!!:)
