My favorite people ever!!!
This has been an absolutely amazing week in every sense of the word! We have seen so many miracles it sorta unbelievable!!! In Week 1 with Elder Larson I have laughed harder than ever, worked harder than ever, and have been more tired than ever!
This week we've found 7 new investigators! To put it in perspective we have had an average of 2! So that in itself is a blessing! We meet some super interesting people! One was named Diane Hatch, she is a gospel doctrine teacher at Hope Church, but we talked with her and shared the Christmas initiative with her! It was so cool and the spirit was super strong! She invited us back on Christmas to share cookies and another message! She also gave me some candy canes! I've really missed candy canes so that was a tender mercy!
Another amazing event that happened this week was after an extremely busy day! We had given blessings to this Hindu couple and testified of the power of Christ! We gave them the Book of Mormon and they said we could come back tonight so I'm pumped for that lesson, we also taught 3 less-actives, our awesome investigator Nelly, and planned a ton! We had come back to the apartment so we could finish planning for the week, well we got in were about to start planning and Elder Larson tells me that he thinks we should go back out and teach?! Like what? That's crazy? Well because it seemed so out of the blue I was like okay well that must be the spirit. So we said a prayer and immediately a name came to mind! So we loaded up our stuff and headed back out! We got to their home said another prayer and knocked on her door! We waited and waited and waited with not a sound! So we knocked again and.... nothing! We knocked again with the same result! Normally we would've just left but I felt like we should leave a note on her door! Well we left feeling kinda bummed that we couldn't see her! We knew there was a reason we went out so we tried two others with no answer! Anyway, that next morning we woke up to a text from the lady we tried to see explaining that it was her birthday and that her note meant the world to her! She had been on Mormon.org every day for the Christmas initiative and thanked us for being a light in her life!
It was an amazing chance to thank God for all the blessing we receive! Once again I testify to you all that God loves us and all his children! The Holy Ghost is just one way he shows us that love! It prompts us, guides us, and protects us! I love this glorious gospel! I love my Savior and the chance I get to testify of Him to the world!!!! Love all so much! Have a happy holidays!!!
Your blessed missionary,
Elder Tracy!
