Hello hello everyone hope you're having a fantastic beginning to march and hopefully having warm weather like we are here in Missouri!!! Its been 60-70s this week so we've been eating and studying outside lots and it's been so good for the SOUL!!!
So many miracles this week but wanted to write out two: 1. Meeting Tanner
This guy was being taught by missionaries here before I got here, but got super duper busy and I never met him, only had a call once on the phone for like 15 minutes. But we've really been feeling like we should contact him so with the warmer weather we decided to go out and study at a park that he supposedly runs at that's right next to our mission President and his wife's house. Friday we went there but it was actually kinda chilly so we sat in the car and studied and after 1.5+ hours studying there President bell's wife came home and waved at us. She went inside then came back out with a jar of homemade jam for us! We talked and 5-10minites later she went "oh. my gosh tanner is coming! Act natural!" So she introduced us to Tanner and we had an amazing conversation about his life and how he got here and he is such a God-fearing and faith-filled man!!! Definitely God's hand in us meeting him there and having such an eye opening conversation about only caring what God thinks! It made me so happy to be a missionary and glad to offer help to ANYONE to help strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ regardless of their religion!
2. Our neighbor Tayisah, who literally told us our friendship and heart attaching her door the other day was a sign from God that He loves and is aware of her!! So blessed to be a part of her deepening relationship with her Heavenly Father!! She so helped us out with a Facebook story later in the week so that was neato!
I can't even write all the amazing things that happened and I won't write all the hard things that made the great things that much more incredible!!!! I know there truly is no joy without knowing pain and there is no hope without Christ!!!! Hope you all have a fantastic week and remember God is aware of YOU and loves you for who you are today!!!! He gladly accepts you as you are and wants to help you become the even greater person HE KNOWS you can become!!!! God is so good!!!! Hope you all see the tender mercies in your life like clean laundry and working water and homemade jam and banana bread and learning new skills and being totally horrible at things but still enjoying them!!!! I love you but God loves you even more!!!!
Te amo!!!!
