Hi everyone!
Sorry but I will
have to be quicker today with my emails. We only have one hour today, so
I will make the most of it. Yes, Sister Cranfield's blisters were
pretty bad but they are doing so much better now! No new bruises, but we
played football in the rain on Saturday and I slipped and fell, so now
the right side of my body is pretty sore and beat up. Oh well, moving on.
We do get fed very often by the members so that is really good.
So, this week there wasn't really a whole lot that happened.
Except for on Thursday! Thursday was a day full of miracles. We make it a
point to identify at least one miracle each day, and on Thursday we had
six miracles! So, for our day of miracles. Our miracle day was on
Thursday, and our
first miracle was that we didn't die. The grass was wet because it was
raining, and I slipped and fell into the road, pulling Sister Cranfield
along with me. There was a car coming, but Heavenly Father blessed us by
keeping us safe. We had time to get out of the road, and the car was
going slow enough that it had time to slow down even more. We are safe
thanks to Heavenly Father! Our second miracle was when we stopped by a
less active that we had never met. We knocked, he answered and chatted
to us, we taught him some principles, said a prayer with him, and he
said that we could come back anytime. The strange thing was, he had
requested from the church that no one visit, but he was okay with us
visiting and invited us back. Our third miracle was when we stopped by
an investigator, who wasn't home. So we took just a minute to look at
our planners and see what we had planned to do next. As we were walking
away, our investigator was coming towards us, and we chatted to her, and
got a return appointment with her. Our fourth
miracle was when we stopped by another less active who came to church
last week with her two daughters, and is progressing really well. We
taught her
and her two young girls a lesson. Before we
left, the less active had a friend show up, and we were able to teach
her as well. And, the less active says she is trying to bring one of her
other friends to church with her. Our fifth miracle was having a dinner
appointment
with some members, who the father is less active. Every time a member
(any member, us, and the Elders) go over there, he is polite but he
never eats with us or is there for the spiritual thought. However, he
chatted to us, and then ate dinner with us, and was there for our
spiritual thought! He also tried to give us a referral for someone. And
finally, our sixth miracle was when we stopped by another less
active that we visit and to get in we have to push the button and it
rings him and then we tell him who is there and he pushes the button to
let us in. When we got there, there was a lady outside smoking who just
pushed a button (she lived there) and let us in right away. We went up
and the less active had company. His brother was there but they let us
teach them both anyway. That was a miracle because if that lady hadn't
let us in, then the less active probably would have told us that he was
busy and to come back, but we then were able to have another lesson with
the brother who is a non member.
What a day Thursday was!
It was absolutely incredible and Heavenly Father blessed us so much!
Thanks to Him, we are able to do this work. Without Him, it couldn't
happen. And thank you all so much for everything that you have done and
continue to do. I pray for you all each day, and I hope you have a great
week! I love you guys lots!
Love,
Sister Connery
