Week 47

August 25, 2014

Friends & Family,

FIRST, I want to shout out to SHAYLIN HEDGES, my beautiful niece. She just got baptized on Saturday, as much as I wanted to be there I know that she was so happy!! That is the best thing every. I am so proud and most important Heavenly Father is so proud of her!! 

SECOND, this coming up Sunday is I REALLY special day.. I just want to tell her now.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best mom in the world. For everything you have done and do for me. I wouldn't be able to do anything without her. I just love her so much, whoever reads this and sees my mom... give her a big hug from me :) <3 

THIRD, I am so happy for my daddy. He got called to be in the bishopric. I am so happy for him and I know without a doubt... that this is the BEST thing for him and our family!!! :) I know you will do great daddy! I love you! :) 

This morning me and Hermana Nord went at 6am to go watch the sunset. Let me mention it was 65 degrees... BEAUTIFUL!!!! It was amazing!! :) I love nature haha

This week was full of miracles.. It is so amazing. I love being a missionary, seeing all these miracles every day!!!

 We have been making a goal as a companionship to be exactly obedient, using all the time we have, not wasting one minute!!!! and also it was talking to EVERYONE.. and that is what we did. It seems like something that is easy to do.. but we went to Wal-Mart and just needed to talk to everyone. Don't worry it wasn't all perfect, we got rejected and yelled at.. but we had to do it. At first I was very scared but I knew that Heavenly Father would help us. After a few minutes, we started to see many miracles. One of them we found a lady that has met with the elders before like a year ago and she was so excited to see us and she talked for like 20 minutes and she said she would call us and take us out to get ice cream.

 Then we met this Hispanic family outside and we just started talking to them and they were interested so we are going to see them this week!!!

AND another 2 Hispanic boys (19 and 16 years old) They just got to the US and they are just so humbled and sweet!! 

ALL because we are being more obedient and talking to everyone!!! I just know that Heavenly Father knows EXACTLY what is going on at all times. He is putting people in our paths for a reason and if we don't talk to them then we will NEVER know. 

I just want to bear my testimony that I KNOW for a fact that this church is true!! I know Heavenly Father knows up perfectly and wants to bless us but we have to be doing what is right!! I know that the spirit works within different people!!! I love this church, my heart is full. I have never been so happy!!!! :) 

The Lord works in mysterious ways.... you just have to have faith and keep going!!!

I love ya'll
