I hope y'all are doing fantastic! We had exchanges this week ! The STLs here are so incredible. Soeur Dítětová of them is from the Czech Republic, and Soeur Shoemaker is from California. For the entire first night I watched Soeur Shoemaker and Soeur Flora sparring and teaching each other wrestling holds, which was hilarious! We all laughed so hard. I went on exchange with Soeur Dítětová, and her commitment to the work and desire help and serve others is incredible. It was kind of crazy, I could really see her receiving revelation for me, because if how in the with the spirit she was. God really does inspire the people he calls, and it really blessed me. I'm so grateful for her, even if all we did was contact, because her conviction shows, and people listen to her!
We had a lesson with the guy from the bus this week ! He has tons of questions, and it is so amazing to see his desire to grow and learn. He said he has been searching for answers in a lot of churches, but he hasn't found any answers. His questions mostly resolve around the plan of salvation (where was I before, why am I on earth, and where am I going.) Honestly, it helps me realize how lucky we are to have grown up with that knowledge and direction. But now we're starting to help him, so we'll see where it goes!
We had a lesson with our recent convert karine ! She is doing so well, and we were able to read the scriptures with her and help her grow her testimony of the power of the book of mormon. We read my favorite chapter with her, Moroni 7, and I'm just so grateful for the clarity and simplicity of the things it teaches.
Then we had a really cool miracle! We were in the church getting ready for a meeting. A man showed up, but being sister missionaries, we can't stay alone in the church with him. So we decided to go outside and wait. My companion started heading out to contact, and I was like "we're going contact for 10 minutes ?" I said yep. We walk outside the gate, go to the first person I see sitting at a bus stop, and invite her to church. She said she couldn't come this week, but she's coming next week and she gave us her number and set up a meeting with us for this week ! How amazing it was to see a small miracle when willing to dedicate even 10 extra minutes to the lord.
I hope y'all have a fabulous week, and don't forget to look for God's hand in your lives, even for just the little miracles!
Love you guys!
