Week 18: Hello My Beautiful People

Hello my beautiful people! This has been a very wonderful week.

It started with a short preparation day last Monday. We got caught in a rainstorm while we were walking home. So we ended up running home haha

We had exchanges this week so after our district council we exchanged companions for the day with the Sister Training Leaders. So sister Ferris went to their area with sister Olson and sister Hoffman came here with me. I showed her campus and we talked with some people and there was one really nice girl named Shania who wants to keep talking with us, so we are meeting her tomorrow. The next day before lunch we exchanged back to our regular companions. It was a good exchange and they always bring miracles. 

We get to do family history for a couple hours every week, and I love it. The spirit of Elijah is real. I used to not be interested in family history, but learning their stories is actually amazing because you can see qualities in them that you have. And even just finding records for people becomes so interesting. If you haven't ever done family history or want to learn more talk with someone who can help you like the family history consultant in the ward or my dad (love you!) We also got to go to the temple to do an endowment session for someone who has passed on. It is always such a beautiful, learning, and peaceful experience vicariously making covenants with God for those who died without the chance. 

Our friend Hunter that we've been meeting with has been doing the things we ask him and has been asking us some really good questions. I'm really hoping and excited for him to start feeling and understanding the truth and importance of what we teach.

I know that God has a perfect plan and we are only able to see a small picture of it. We were going to a fourth of July thing downtown, but there weren't really any college kids so we decided to go out knocking doors. The places we went to we found out the elders had been a couple weeks ago, so we headed for home and decided to stop by some girls we had talked with a couple weeks ago. We caught them at home and they invited us in to talk. The timing was so perfect and they really loved meeting with us and want us to come back. God truly helped guide us there at that time. 

I know that God is real and in the details of our lives. He loves us and is blessing us more than we know and if we slow down and open our eyes to the small things we can start to notice Him more in our lives around us all the time. So take the time this week to see His light in something and share that with a friend or neighbor. 

Love y'all!
Stay poppin' my party people
