It Is Well With My Soul

I have witnessed a miracle this week! We have been teaching someone and we had a ride set up for church for him to come to church. The people came to pick him up and he never answered. We were quite frustrated and decided to go see him that day. He told us he wasn't able to make it to church because he was in the hospital but he was back to health and really wants to try for next week. We were able to talk to him about the Word of Wisdom, which we were nervous for. We started teaching him and asked him he'd be willing to obey the word of Wisdom so he could be baptized and he said yes! He didn't even question why he couldn't drink coffee or tea but was willing to right away start quitting. It was amazing! 

On Saturday we got to help out with an activity days activity where they learned about the temple. It was so fun and our job was to make the waffles 😂 later that day we went to a Jehovahs Witness service because someone we tracted into invited us and said a special speaker was coming. The people were super nice but me & Sister Bateman came to the conclusion that it felt more like a seminar or Ted talk than it felt spiritually uplifting. The spirit just was not present at the meeting. That strengthened my testimony that this really is the true church because I can't think of a sacrament meeting where I haven't felt the spirit. Also it made my heart hurt knowing that they don't have the opportunity of taking the sacrament each week. 

There's some lyrics of a song that have really stuck in my head: "You say that I should come to you with everything I need

You're asking me to thank you even when the pain is deep"

I was thinking about how often I complain to God about my problems and I never thought to thank him for them before. I also realized I haven't been coming to him for EVERYTHING I need. I need to improve and become better. Trials are hard but I'm excited to look back and see the person I became because of my trials. I also realized lately the importance of not just going through the motions but paying attention to my actions and the why behind it.

I love hearing about your lives and getting letters. Easiest way to make my day ♡ thank y'all for your prayers, love, and support
