Fear not little flock

This week has been full of so many miracles. I am training a new missionary, and have been very scared ever since President called last Monday. However, Heavenly Father has helped immensely. 

During the "Meet your companion" meeting on Thursday Sister Stratford challenged all of us to have the new missionary extend a baptism invitation to an investigator before Sunday. The prayers for that started immediately. On Saturday we had a surprise lesson with one of our new investigators found the previous week, and Sister Hansen was able to extend a baptismal invitation!! The best part is that she said yes! We are praying that she will continue to progress. After the lesson we were so so happy! I am so grateful that the Lord answers prayers and provides opportunities to share the gospel with others. 

On Sunday we had set a goal to find 2 new investigators, and by 8 we hadn't found anyone. However, the Lord helped us so much! We were walking to a street to start knocking on it, and saw two women sitting on their porch talking. We embraced the awkward and walked up a very steep set of stairs to reach them. One of them told us that she grew up in Arizona, and was very familiar with the Church. She even has a CTR ring from when she was 9 haha! She lived with her daughter and grandchildren. We met two of the granddaughters. They all talked with us for about 45 minutes, and then invited us back!! We are so excited to share about Jesus Christ's restored gospel with them! :) I am still in awe with how incredible that miracle was. 

One of my favorite scriptures from the Doctrine and Covenants is section 6 verses 33,34,36. This is the Savior speaking:

"Fear not to do good, my sons, or whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward. Therefore, fear not, little flock; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

I know that the Lord is right there helping us along. I have felt that and His love so strongly this past week. Thank you all for your prayers and support!! Have a happy happy week!! 

Love,

Sister Morris
