A lot happened the past week and a half! Before I get started, Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have super fun plans with your loved one! A scripture that Sister Johnson and I have been sharing with people lately is Alma 34:38,
"live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings [God] doth besetow upon you."
Always remember to pray in gratitude for all that God has blessed you with! There is always something in every day. :)
This week Sister Johnson and I discovered that Heaveny Father can still use us as tools in His work even when we mess up. We had in our plans to stay close by where we had planned to eat dinner, because we are running extremely low on miles. But when we got on the freeway to go to dinner, we accidentally got on going the wrong way. Ooops...Haha luckily Sister Johnson and I both just thought it was hilarious, so neither one of us was bothered or upset. :) We passed a sign that told us there would not be another exit for 19 miles...yikes! Anyways, we got off at this teeny tiny town called Gratiot. When I say teeny tiny, I mean it. You could walk from one end to another in less than twenty minutes! Having faith that there was at least one prepared soul in this town, we got to work. Eventually the dinner hour rolled around and we had to choose between leaving to eat dinner, or to stay and knock on more doors. We decided to stay, because we felt that there was someone there. We said a prayer asking for help to know where this person was at. After the prayer we looked at our map, and a certain street stood out to us. The first house we knocked on, a woman answered and let us right in. Sheloved everything we taught her. When we finished the restoration, she asked us how soon we could come back. :) We left her with a Book of Mormon, and she held it close and looked at it as a treasure. Which it is!! it was the most amazing experience. One of the points in our mission culture is "have faith, hope, optimism and experience miracles". Well, Sister Johnson and I had faith that despite our goofing up, God would help us find someone, we had hope that there was someone there, and we were able to work with a smile on our faces even though we had used waaay more miles than we had hoped. With all that, Heavenly Father led us to an amazing miracle. :)
Sister Johnson and I were asked to play a duet in church on Sunday, so we have been able to practice the piano everyday...it has been a blessing! :)
This Sunday we had five investigators at church!!! Four of them were little girls 8-15, but still! It was so amazing! The cute girls seemed to really enjoy church! We were skyping them last night and the 12 year old mentioned how she is bringing a dress to her parents' for the weekend so that she can have one to wear at church. :) We hope their parents will start coming with them...their family would really really benefit from the gospel. As all families would and do. ;)
Hope you all have a happy week! Remember to maintain an attitude of gratitude!! :)
Much love,
Sister Morris
