Sister Kari Warburton: John Smith lol

Hello amazing friends (:

How are ya'll?

This week we were able to finally teach a lesson to a guy who we've been trying to meet with for a few weeks. Both times we got in contact with him he was driving with his dog while we were tracting and would always stop and say hi. We taught him the plan of salvation and he said it was new but it made sense! (: we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it.

We got bashed by a preacher in our car. I was about to pull out from the place I parked after tracting. A guy started walking towards us and he was in our way so we couldn't leave. He came to our car and we rolled down our window. He asked us if we were okay and we said we were and that we were just missionaries. Then he went off about how works don't get us into heaven. Then he realizes we weren't Jehovahs Witnesses and went off about how we need to stop following a man made religion. He told us we need to stop following John Smith and to come check out his church. I looked him dead in the eye and said "It's Joseph Smith" rolled up my window and left.

There was also a lady this week who let us in and gave us peaches and cottage cheese. We talked about how God with her and she has a pretty amazing story. She told us how she didn't feel like she was loved by anyone. Not by her husband, not by her kids. She just didn't really see a point in life. She decided she was going to go and take her life. She was in her bedroom with the gun on the floor trying to get her toe to shoot the gun off but for some reason it wouldn't go off. She screamed out "I just want to have it over with!" Then she heard a voice that said "(persons name), I love you." She yelled out "who is there!" She looked back and no one is was there. She continued to try to shoot the gun. The voice came again "(persons name), you are my child and I love you so much and need you here on this Earth."

She then threw the gun to the side and sat in her bed and cried. She felt a warmth of arms around her but there was no one there. If this lady told me and Sister Campbell this story we were all crying. She told us even if we think no one loves us God does. He really does. God loves you so very much ♡

Thank you for your prayers because they are felt, thank you for your emails because they make my day, thank you for being in my life because I love you all!
