Miracles and Bobsleds

This week we saw some neat miracles as we were trying to find people to teach! 

 Sister Crosby and I stopped two women on the street, and began talking with them. One was super interested in knowing if we had received answers to our prayers before, so that was neat. Doesn't happen often! 
Sister Crosby began telling them about the first vision and as she was going I started to think something sounded funny and then she kind of eyed me while she was talking and I realized that she had completely skipped the first half. haha. So we laughed ourselves sore over that later :) I think the spirit knew what she was trying to say and still came and testified! Kind of funny though! 
We were headed out into town to deliver a copy of general conference to a woman we had met previously. We had a short discussion with her, but she had an obisk(visitor), so we couldn't talk for very long. Just got to share our testimonies that there is a living prophet on the Earth today! 

When we finished tracting that block, we still had about twenty minutes until we needed to start heading home. We didn't necessarily want to start an entire new block because we wouldn't be able to finish it, so we debated about tracting the houses on the street, contacting, or finding a new block. We stood on the side of this little street and prayed. We asked Heavenly Father for help and guidance that we could spend the next half hour doing what needed us to do and speaking with the people he needed us to speak with. Still unsure what to do, we started walking. And then a family turned the corner, so we thought "Great! A family! That's surely what Heavenly Father needs us to do right now." So we approached them and began to talk, only to be told that they really weren't interested at all. Škoda. 

So we knocked on the door of a house across the street, again to find that the people home weren't really interested. So we started walking again. As we crossed the train tracks on our way towards center, we saw a young man on the other side of the street. Being the bold missionaries we are trying to become, we crossed the street and intercepted this man. And we learned that this was exactly where Heavenly Father needed us to be at that point. We shared our testimonies of God's plan for us and his desire for us to come to know him through prayer. 
Heavenly Father will guide and direct us as we try to be his hands here on earth! 


I liked Trevvy Trev's email this week! It is never too late to be the person you want to be. It is never to late to choose to turn toward your Heavenly Father and let him help you to become who you want to become!

And we were at a branch activity with those helmets! It was bobsleds and a ropes course.
