prophet and apostles! I am so excited, it's like Christmas! Hope you
all have your countdowns up and running;)
We had another week full of miracles and testimony builders. I know
this work is true and that obedience to God's commandments truly
brings blessings. I heard a quote once that said, "obedience brings
blessings, exact obedience brings miracles" and I know that if we try
to live by that we will see that it is true.
Miracles of the week:
* Natasha- we were walking towards the church and we were walking
alongside a woman and her 2 daughters so we started talking to them.
She said she had seen the church before and was curious about it but
had never been inside. We were able to teach her about how Heavenly
Father's true church has been restored to the earth and that she can
know it, and she can see how it will truly bless her family. We
invited her to come to our BBQ for the primary kids and she said that
she would try to make it! Miracles like this are my favorite, when
Heavenly Father puts someone in our path when we least expect it:)
* Splits! Splits with other sisters always seem to turn on the
heavenly faucet of blessings:) We had splits on Monday and I got to
spend the day with Sister Anderson. Every moment was a miracle but my
favorite were the 2 men we were able to speak to throughout the day.
Both of these men, Monty and Jeremiah, approached us while we were
walking down the street. Monty asked us about the elders he always
sees walking down the street, and Jeremiah stopped to help us after I
accidentally dropped the 10 Book of Mormons we were carrying home from
the church! Both experiences showed me that people DO notice us, they
see the light the gospel brings and they want to see what it is! We
were able to teach both of them about the restoration and we are going
to have the elders teach them more!:) (Added testimony, Jeremiah was
able to see how service brings blessings!;) He picked up a Book of
Mormon to hand back to us and we told him to just keep that one. He
was pleasantly surprised by that! Serving others=a chance to hear the
restored gospel!)
* One last miracle happened just yesterday when we were going to visit
a less active sister in the Ward. I love her! She is very patient with
us, because every time we go visit her there seems to be a miracle
that happens right before that ends up making us late! We had just a
couple minutes before out appointment with her so we decided to stop
by a referral (a woman named Maria) we had received a few days ago to
hopefully set up an appointment with her. But instead of just setting
up an appointment we were able to share a message with her and leave
her with a prayer since she is struggling with a lot right now! My
favorite part is that her mom asked missionaries to stop by Maria's
house. So we did, and Maria was really confused at first but when she
found out her mother had asked us to stop by her face lit up and she
opened right up to us! I know the gospel means so much more coming
from those we care about. Things that mean a lot to us will mean a lot
to them!
I hope you have a spectacular week and that you will be able to stand
the countdown to conference!:)
Love, Sister Jones
We liked this picture...
We thought we would try to look like him.
This is the view of one of our less actives!
The shiny thing is the freedom tower:)
