Ain't Nobody Got Time For That

So, I am going to start off with a joke....
What happens when two Sisters with no fix-it-man background try to fix
a fridge???
It doesn't get fixed, but it does get very clean!

Also...what is the fastest way to convince two Sister missionaries
that they've gained weight?
Put them in an apartment filled with IKEA furniture.
It's like living in an earthquake.

So this week was filled with fantastic appointments and tons of miracles, but I have time for just a couple.

We were walking down the street, and I saw this lady and sort of smiled at her, but kept walking. Then I had the strongest impression to go back and talk to her. I did, but nothing came of it. Then later that day, we were walking away from a bus stop, and Sister Hadfield points out to me that there is a lady crying on the bench. Without hesitation, I pull a 180 and go sit down next to her and ask her what is wrong. After a couple of questions, she opens up and tells us about her life, which was something akin to that wonderful lady in the Mormon Message Refiner's Fire. We shared the scripture from Mosiah 24 and promised her that Christ could lift her burdens from her shoulders. We left a Book of Mormon with her, and kind of walked on in stunned silence. I realize now that if I hadn't followed the impression earlier to turn around, I may not have turned around this time. God answers our prayers. He fulfills our desires. I testify of that, with the power of every cell in my body. Do not doubt Him, do not sell yourselves short. Trust Him. Ain't nobody got time enough on
earth not to trust Him. Nobody. I don't care who you are or what you've experienced.
You still need Christ.
Trust Him.
Give Him time to fill you, to heal you, to complete you.
Prove Him right. He doesn't disappoint.

Also, the Atonement is legit. You never make a mistake too great that the Atonement cannot heal, if you turn it over to Christ.

I feel like I am on an eternal repeat, but that's ok, because it's true every time!!

Another miracle was showing up at a less active appointment, and her inviting a friend in to come and listen to us talk about the Plan of Salvation. Or when you have amazing members who reach out in love and really care about the work that you are doing. Or when someone comes up to you and says that he found a Book of Mormon and respects what you're doing. Or when you get low on food, and people randomly give you food, and not only food, but very specifically what you've been craving.

God is good. He will shower you with gifts. Are you ready?

My challenge is to make a record of what He gives you this week, and
SEND IT TO ME.

Love you all!
