What a fantastic email you have sent this week! I am so happy for Chris and Wendy!!! I'm an auntie again!!! Hooray! :D Welcome to the world, Baby! Aunt Casey loves you already (just like I love the rest of my little nieces and nephews)! :) I am really excited to finally get to Skype you guys on Sunday! It might take a bit to figure it all out, so be patient with us and wait until we get it through. Okay? I'm so excited!!!
Anyway, let me tell you about my week! Oh it was so good! The tender mercies of the Lord have been upon us. We now have 5 people preparing for baptism! :O It's amazing! And I have to tell you that yesterday we saw so many miracles! My testimony, especially of prayer, has grown so much just from that one day! Yesterday morning we came to the chapel for church to wait for our investigators. We had arranged lifts for some, and some had just said that they would come on their own. We were waiting for several people. 5 minutes before the meeting started we were panicking because none of our investigators were there yet. One of the members we had asked to pick someone up arrived without our investigator with her! We didn't know what to do, and we were both getting really upset. Our Bishop saw our obvious distress, and very calmly told us that we just need to relax and put it all in the Lord's hands, and He would take care of it according to His will. (Our Bishop has gone through a lot in the past few months and has learnt this lesson well) We felt so bad because we had not even prayed up to that point. I immediately started to pray in my heart as we walked in to start sacrament meeting. I was pleading with Heavenly Father, and I hadn't even said "Amen" yet, and one of our investigators walked in! Shortly thereafter, another investigator walked in, and she had come on her own! I nearly started crying. Heavenly Father answered my prayers, and it was miraculous! Not only that, but after sacrament we went out into the foyer and another investigator was there with her less active mother, and they BOTH stayed for the rest of church! Tender mercies, tender mercies! The Lord hears and answers our prayers, but we have to turn to Him and put it all in His hands. Trust in Him, and He will take care of us. My testimony has grown so much in one single day of several principles. The Lord loves us. He hears and answers our prayers. It was an amazing experience! :D
I hope that you guys enjoyed that story because I will never get tired of telling it! I hope you guys have another great week until I talk to you again next Sunday!!! :) I love you guys and I will talk to you next week! :D
Love,
Sister Connery
P.S.-We went to the National Archives last week (the London Family History Centre is currently located there), and we learnt more about Family History and we were able to do some of our own! I've already found several generations on Daddy's side of the family! It was so cool! I have found the Spirit of Elijah in myself, and I can't wait to do more family history!
Here is a picture of me outside of the Archives
