Hello!!!! Freezing but Glorious!

Hey everyone! This week was packed full of miracles. I'll try to get them all.

Peggy had her baptismal interview this week and passed with flying colors! She was then baptized Sunday after church. The whole ward looooves her and it was packed full! It was amazing to see her after and how happy she was and how lifted she felt. Only through Jesus Christ.......:)

She also brought her Less active son Wayde. She is on our team to bring him back to church! She already acted like a member. A new sister in the Ward moved in with like 4 kids. She has no car but needs to get to work 20 minutes away. So Peggy took her each day with her to work. :)

We have a miracle new investigator Patricia. She is a friend of Sister Salani who has been bringing her to church a few weeks. We got to teach her the Restoration this week but most of all help her to know that Heavenly Father Loves Her!!!!!!! That knowledge alone I know would lift her spirits and bless her life so much. She wants to have greater faith, be baptized and be a disciple of Jesus Christ. So excited for her!!

Jasmine, our new investigator is pretty shy. She is a student at the University and Sister Collins brought her to church yesterday. Stayed all three hours and we really hoped she felt the spirit and loved every minute of it! We'll find out soon! But Sister Collins was perfect because she was able to bear testimony of the investigating process and coming to know.

We've been studying the Book of Mormon with the Atonement in mind, as I mentioned last week. But it's amazing how endless it is! How much I am learning each day. I love Revelation in my Personal Studies. But I came across a quote today in an old ensign that I wanted to share.

Elder Richard G. Scott said: “Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more (see Proverbs 3:11–12). He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain. … This life is an experience in profound trust—trust in Jesus Christ.”¹

I definitely know that the Lord gives us things to stretch us and help us grow. It is our choice to draw closer to Him at these times.

Well, I love you all! Keep being amazing!
