Week #32 - Hard Work means HARD WORK

 Monday, August 31, 2020 

OLAAA TUDO MUNDO

This week has been very interesting.... BUT STILL MIRACLE FILLED!! Here in the San Tan Valley Zone, and in our area it is really hard to find people to teach. Me and Sister Griffiths call it a "mini Utah" since so many of the people here are members lol. So we mostly have lessons with members, since we don't have many other people to teach consistently. BUT here are some of the miracles and cool experiences we had this last week.

We have been able to go to a lot of houses this week, which is SOOO nice. Me and Sister Griffiths went to this one house and had a good lesson with a member family, and we have been trying to gain that trust with the ward so we can hopefully one day get some names from them of who wants to be taught. So we have thought of a lot of different ways that we can try and do that, and one way we thought of was giving a family a normal pass along card with our phone number and names on it, and invite them to give it to someone! So we asked this family if they knew anyone that we could teach, and they said no. Then we gave them the pass along card and IMMEDIATELY they thought of a name of a person that they could give it to. HOORAY!!

There is a page on facebook called worldwide missionary referrals, where missionary type "anyone serving in this area, we have someone wanting to learn more." So me and sis Griffiths stalked this pages and came across a guy that asked if there is anyone living in Queen Creek, which is right by us. So we messaged this elder and he got back to us and said he has a friend that lives at these certain crossroads.... it's literally the crossroads we live on right now.... MILAGRES!!! He told us he'd get us his number!! YAY!! 

Another miracle is one day, me and sis Griffiths were pretty down... and all of a sudden we got a text from a random number saying, "Hey sisters, we have someone who wants to learn more about baptism and repentance. We scheduled a zoom call with him tomorrow at 10. Does that work for you guys?" HOLY COW, WHAT??? Anywho, turns out it was from an elder at the home MTC in our ward right now (he's actually supposed to he going to Brasil yeehaw) but super awesome miracle. And this guy's family wants to learn more as well!! YAYAY!! 

Another AMAZING miracle is that IT RAINED!!! Here in Arizona has been record heat in all the history of Arizona heat hahaha. So it was nice to have some rain finally and not feel like were dying. 
I feel like my faith has faltered a little bit last week, but the last couple days and all the miracles that we've seen, has made me realize that I need to have that faith in Christ!! One of my favorite scriptures says, "Peace peace be unto you, because of your faith in my well Beloved." (Helaman 5:47) I feel more peace now because I am able to remember to have that faith. I invite all of you to continue to have that FAITH!!! 

Funny story time: we always like to go scorpion hunting and...... WE FINALLY FOUND SOME!!! 
Love you all!!
