So this week has been slow but full of miracles! I
am looking back on the week and I was just thinking about how we have
just done a lot of finding with not lots of numerical success but we've
kept busy. BUT despite that we've seen some awesome miracles.
The first miracle is that on Saturday I did 700 calf raises and this morning I did 1000 calf raises. Wowie.
Okay
so let me update you on Nathan! He's progressing! Slowly but surely!
And he has a long way to go but that's okay! We had a lesson with him
this week and it was a pretty good lesson! He is a lot like Alma the
Younger in Alma 36 and so we gave him that chapter to read. Also, here's
some background: last week in our lesson (I think it was last week) we
invited him to come to church and he straight up said no because he
feels like people will judge him. So this week we didn't even mention
church. Well, yesterday near the end of sacrament meeting we looked back
and saw that Nathan was there!!!! OH MY GOODNESS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW
MUCH OF A MIRACLE THIS IS!! I only you knew Nathan! Anyway he ran out
and left right after it ended (probably so he wouldn't have to meet
anyone) And we asked a member of the branch presidency if he saw him
come in and he said he wasn't sure but it was either right before or
right after the sacrament. Oh my goodness! So then we texted him and
asked him what he thought of it and he said that he felt a lot of peace
there. And he told us that he read Alma 36 and he also felt a lot of
peace while reading that! AH! Peace is what Nathan needs!! God is so
good!
Charlotte is still going strong! She was
able to come to all of church yesterday and we had a lesson with her
this week and she's just still so prepared! Its so amazing! She had a
few questions this week about controversial issues in the church but we
helped her to understand those a bit! And the member that was with us
that she's good friends with said he would show her some articles on lds.org
about it. I love our members!! We have some really awesome ones!!! :)
Anyway, Charlotte's going to talk to her family about getting baptized
when she goes home for Thanksgiving (means we have to wait a bit...but
oh well) so we are excited for that!
CARLOS!!
Oh my goodness GUESS WHAT?!! Carlos said he wants to be baptized at the
beginning of December!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHH!!!! So exciting! It was seriously
a miracle. President Johnson invited him to meet with him in his office
yesterday and Carlos went and I don't know what President Johnson said
but at our lesson last night Carlos just plopped the news on us! I
almost fell of my chair! The lesson is tentatively set for December 12
but Carlos is praying about it and he wants to make sure President
Johnson is there for it and he said he would be gone a few random days
in December. But it doesn't really matter when! It's better than the New
Year!!!
Also here's a funny story. And it may
not be as funny since you don't know Carlos but yesterday in our lesson
we were talking about different President's Carlos knows, like
President Andersen, President Johnson, President Watson (that's the
stake president) and Anne Parkes was jokingly like "Even President Obama
could be at your baptism" And we just laughed about it and then later
we were talking about Carlos's baptism again and what day it would be
and Carlos was like, "As long as President Obama doesn't baptize me."
Hahaha we literally died. And it's so funny just because it's Carlos!
This
is super random but there's a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream place and
Anne Parkes took us there after dinner once this week and we got a pint
to share of Salted Carmel Blondie ice cream. Wow. Life changing I tell
ya.
This week we have zone conferences and
Elder Zwick from the 70 is coming! Sweet! We'll see if he remembers me
from all the times he came to our young women's! Anyway that should be
so cool! Also President or Sister Andersen...or someone...wants us to do
a musical number with the sisters in our district for that so it will
be good! I am attempting to arrange some music for it myself and so
we'll see how that goes. But anyway we are doing the words of Nearer My
God to Thee and I Need Thee Every Hour to the tune of I Need Thee Every
Hour. The meters are a little bit different but it still works!
Well
I'm going to wrap this up! We are headed to the church so I can
practice on a piano for the musical number!! Oh but wait! My ponderizing
scripture is Alma 29:9, "I know that which the Lord hath commanded me,
and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself but I glory in that which
the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I be
an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and
this is my joy." I glory in being in the service of the Lord! It's
truly the best thing in the world! I wish I could do it forever because
just like Alma is truly is my joy!
I love y'all lots! Have a blessed week!
Love,
Sister Myers
