Small Girl In A Big City: #LIGHTtheWORLD ✨

Happy almost December everyone! I hope you have all had a chance to watch the church's new Christmas initiative!!! If not, go watch it right now, then you are allowed to finish reading this:)

We have had a really awesome week since the last time I wrote, and we got to kick it off with THANKSGIVING! We had a really cool experience that day: the night was winding down and we decided that for the last little bit of time we had we would go visit our member who is in a rehabilitation center because she has Huntington's disease, we visit her once a week but felt that we should go again. We sang Christmas carols with her and just lifted her spirits. She started to tear up as we were singing to her and you could tell that she really appreciated the visit, I'm so grateful we were able to do that! It was definitely the most memorable part of Thanksgiving this year!

Some other AWESOME miracles:

Referrals: We got another referral this week from a man who wanted a bible, we gave him a call on Saturday to set up an appointment and he was like, "SURE, how about today!?" So we were like, oh ok! So we got to meet with him at the church and he had such good questions. We talked about the Book of Mormon and he said nothing we said made him feel like he was going against his own beliefs so he would like to learn more! He was so genuine and you could really tell that he LIVES what he believes, I'm so grateful for all the genuinely good people in the world "who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it" and I'm grateful for Heavenly Father for directing them to us!

Less Actives: Such a cool experience last night, we had a few things cancel and we had done our backup plans and still had a few extra minutes so we prayed about it and we ended up going to do a couple less active lookups. One of them was someone I had never stopped by before and her sister answered and said she would pass the message on to her sister- we weren't expecting much out of it but in the middle of planning last night we got a text from her saying how excited she was that we had stopped by and she was sorry she had missed us! She said she didn't think it was a coincidence because she has been thinking about us a lot lately- miracle #1! Then the second less active we stopped by was a less active that we have been trying to get ahold of for months, multiple notes and lookups and we had never gotten a response, until just about 15 minutes ago when she called us and left a voicemail saying it was probably a good idea for us to come by and visit! Both of them were such a miracle and a really cool change of heart. And I'm really glad we decided to pray and ask what Heavenly Father would have us do with those last few minutes of our night!

I hope you all will decide to take the #LIGHTtheWORLD challenge! I'm so excited to be able to spend this month of celebrating our Savior's birth by serving others as He served. And tomorrow is the WORLDWIDE DAY OF SERVICE, everyone get pumped:) I challenge you all to do an act of service tomorrow, doesn't need to be anything big- just from the heart:) Please write me and let me know how it goes! Love you all! Make it a SERVICE-Y week:)

Love, Sister Jones
