Many Much Miraculous Moments

Don't ask about the title. I know it doesn't really make sense but I don't really care. ;)

Also, tomorrow is my 2 month mark!! Isn't that crazy?! Time flies. It feels like I just got here!

You wanna know something so sad? Robin Williams dying. Yeah that's the most depressing thing ever. I heard about that like forever ago but I was just thinking about it and yeah...that's way sad...he was like...my favorite actor...not really but still!!! 

So random miracle/tender mercy: we got in the car the other day and we started to drive away and then Sister O looked up and saw the reading light was on (we use it at night when we write down miles) and she was like, "Has that been on all night?" Yeah, we left the light on all night and we just came out and drove away like normal! Wow! God is so good. Also, Dad, I know you're probably just sitting there shaking you're head thinking, "After all the times I've told her." Hahaha

So cut someone's hair for the first time. That was pretty fun haha. We went to David and Janet's for a lesson and David needed a haircut so they let us cut his hair! It was so funny.

So here's a random miracle: So one morning we were like, "Alright, we are going to pray really hard to know where we should go tracting. So there are 5 little areas within our area and so we just decided to pray about which sub area and so we prayed for a while and we both got 4! It was fantastic. So then we looked at streets on the map and prayed about this one street and so we went there that evening. So we are going along and we come up to this one house and these guys had just pulled up and so it was just one of those awkward moments when you are like, "Should we skip this and then go back after the next house?" And then we were just like, "Oh well...embrace the awkward." So we go up and give one of them a picture of Jesus and he just kind of was like, "Thanks....." And then the other guy got out of the car and he said, "Hey wait I want a picture of Jesus!" And so he comes over to us and we give him a Restoration pamphlet and told him a little bit about it and when Sister O said that we have a modern-day prophet he got really excited and was like, "Really? Can I see a picture (we show him one) Wow! That's so cool!" And then we were just talking to him for a while and he was really interested in hearing more. He couldn't right then but before we could even ask he just straight up offered to give us his number so we could call him and set up a time where he could learn more. It was so awesome! His name is Terry PS.

So then the other miracle was when we were getting gas at Kroger. So when you get gas there if you scan a BOM then you can get Kroger points or whatever and so Sister O was scanning one and this guy and girl come up and ask what she is doing scanning a random book. So she told them why and then started talking about the BOM to them and the guy wasn't interested but the girl was like, "I've always wanted to read that!" And so we told her about it and gave her a copy and then we got her number and so we could talk to her about it later! It was awesome! We have been praying that God would put people in out path and He did! He always does! We just have to look for those opportunities and we will find them!

Sorry there isn't much to say for this week! We've just been tracting for dayzzz! It's been good though. When we were doing weekly planning on Friday we were just like, "Ah!! There's so many follow-ups and people to see that we can't even fit them all in this week!" But no one is really progressing so that's unfortunate - but we'll get there!!!

Oh yeah, I guess I'll give you a quick update on our investigators: well, actually there really isn't much of an update. Everyone is pretty much the same..... :)

Okay I read this really amazing quote the other day during studies by Neal A. Maxwell: "As you submit your will to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give." That is so true though! God could force us to do anything. He could force us to do right. He could force us to go on a mission. He could force us to do anything EXCEPT give up our will! He couldn't force us to submit our will to Him...because that would be against our will...so really submitting our will to the Lord is the greatest gift that we can give Him! It'll be tough. We can't really just wake up one day and say, "I'm going to submit my will to the Lord today!" We have to continually work to submit to His will. But I know that as we do we will be blessed and that God is going to work miracles in our lives! 

I love you all and I hope you have an amazing week! :) 
Love,
Sister Myers
 
 And here are some pictures by some random signs in TN. Mostly at other churches...haha but they've got good messages...the Daily Bread Cafe one was just funny because there is a Mormon Message called Daily Bread that we always show to people...also we have a song that we listen to that the chorus talks about how "God is good" Anyway...that's fun.
