Ight y'all this week was sick. Honestly though most of the dope part of the week was like Friday-Sunday so I'll mainly be talking about that.
Anyways story time: Friday comes along and we haven't been able to get in contact with our golden friend at all. She said last week that she was prob gonna have to go to the hospital so we were super worried about her. Anyways we have this bombin mission devotional about following the spirit. And we get the feeling we gotta go visit S. Anyways we have this dinner planned for 7:30 and we were gonna go visit S at 5 but then the dinner changed to 5 and I don't know why but we were like it's fine we will do the dinner and visit S afterwards. Normally that's a terrible idea especially after getting a prompting but anyways we go to the dinner and it goes way long so we don't get out until 7. And at this point we are like, ight let's go see if she's home. We get there and she has just gotten home from the hospital like 5 minutes before and she had just found out her dad died and when she was in tears we show up outta nowhere and she was absolutely amazed. We were amazed. It was dope. Anyways we give her a Book of Mormon and invite her to church and she was like yes I'll absolutely be there at church. So we were hyped and she was hyped and everyone was hyped. So Sunday shows up and we had gotten her a ride to church and she shows up and she loves it. After we were able to set up a lesson for later that day and we were able to teach her an awesome lesson about the Plan of Salvation. Absolutely amazing and we invited her to be baptized and she was so hyped about it. So she was hyped and we were hyped and everyone was hyped. So we told her how often we would need to meet with her so she could get baptized and she wrote down on her calendar when we would come and all this dope stuff so we are a little bit a lot a bit excited for her!
Anyways before that on Saturday we were able to do a fun service for some people in our ward fixing up the house they will be moving into. It's a dope house but a lot of work to be done. So I had fun sanding the ceiling so that the finishers can come in and do everything else (feat the pic of me below)
Lastly Saturday night we did a Bible study with this guy. Heck of a time with him because he was able to explain to us about how Satan via his demons (basically aliens) have warped us and created all these kind of hybrid humans and that's where all the stories about Vampires and Werewolves and giants and all that stuff comes from. He also explained to us how the Vatican church is actually led by Satan and they do a lot of work to cover all this stuff up. And that the reason we think we've seen aliens is because it's actually Satan's devils who do all that. Honestly I'm down with but we decided against meeting with him again because turns out he thought the first vision was dope but he wasnt interested in it or the Book of Mormon. So bummer there but quite the experience.
Something I absolutely loved from our mission devotional was the quote "ordinary people doing ordinary things can lead to extraordinary miracles" and I absolutely love that! A lot of the times all we need to be doing is trying our best and the Lord will guide us. A lot of the times we just do what's logical or what seems logical at the time and the Lord will do the rest. He will place us in the position to do His work if that's what we desire. We can be the ministering angels to our brethren if that's our desire. I absolutely know that is true. We don't have to be perfect but if we are trying Christ will make up the rest. Coincidences don't happen simply because. Coincidences happen because we have a Father in Heaven who is watching over everything we are doing. He loves us so much. I hope you guys are able to see how much He loves you. If you don't know, look for His hand in your life because I promise He is there.
