Hello!!
This week was so AWESOME!! We saw a lot of miracles this week. This week was also my companions birthday, so we had a blast and a half celebrating with her.
We found a couple new people to teach, and that was super awesome. Here are some of the main highlights from the week:
So this week we had a couple lessons with Jim. Jim has been pretty distant lately and not answering our calls, so we went to go and pick something up at his neighbors house and he was outside. So we talked to him for a while and helped him remember how happy he was talking to us. Anywho, we ended up calling him and he can never remember what the priesthood is, but this time... HE REMEMBERED and we're having a couple lessons each week with him now. He wants to be baptized and has that desire in his heart, but he's taking small baby steps there and that is OKAY!!
This week we had a lesson with Shay and Brittney and it was a super awesome lesson and very spirit led. We are able to still meet in person and it really helps to talk to people in person, it helps you connect on a more personal level. We shared with them all about families and it made me realize how HAPPY I am with the knowledge that I can be with my family for forever. Also, Shay and Brittney came to church again this week! I am super happy we are able to meet in person. Except with Covid being so bad here in Arizona, we can only have up to 50 people (even though we usually have more than that lol).
So last week we got a call from some missionaries in a different mission in Arizona and they gave us the number of a guy here in Casa Grande named Fernard, so we went and dropped off a Book of Mormon to him this week. He really wants to learn more. So that'll be exciting!
So... here's a funny story for you all that happened this week. One day I wanted a midday snack, so I ate some popcorn. Well a piece of that popcorn got stuck in my nasal cavity... and it was stuck for a good ol' day and a half. Finally we all decided it would be best to go to urgent care. It was no fun... unfortunately the doctor couldn't get the popcorn kernel shell out, but it turned out that I have an ear infection?? Now I have some meds for that and I'm still alive. WOOHOO And good news, the popcorn finally is just a distant memory....
This week we also had exchanges with the sisters in our apartment (we are all super close). I was with Sister Wilcox in her area and we had a super fun day. One fun adventure was calling this one guy named Kiko... let's just say Kiko wasn't there all the way haha. He was kinda crazy and telling us that what we were teaching wasn't true, so we were able to boldly share our testimonies with him and hopefully one day he will come around and realized this is the true church of Jesus Christ on earth. But our day was super fun!
We also got another referral named Jotina and we tried calling her and she didn't answer at first, so we called again and she answered and she doesn't have too much of a history of religion. She hasn't read the Bible or the Book of Mormon, so we're going to give one to her this week! We also taught her how to pray and that was super awesome. Praying is the biggest blessing, because it is our opportunity to talk with our Heavenly Father.
We also went up to ASU campus and did a service project up there and I got to see some old roommates and it was so fun to actually meet other missionaries haha!
This was definitely a better week mentally than last week; I have decided to put all my trust in Lord. One of my favorite scriptures this week was from last week's Come Follow Me and I shared it with lots of people. It is Alma 36:3 and it says, "For I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."
Remember to trust in the Lord because He is always there for you!!
Love you all,
♡Sister Guilott♡
