Happy early Thanksgiving from your favorite missionary!;)
We visited an older lady this week who is less active in church attendance and it was so much fun! Once we knocked she let us right in. She was so excited to see us (especially her dog...it was going crazy lol) We sat and visited for a bit and after she invited us to come back over for a luncheon on Sunday!
Last Saturday we visited Alisha and Anna! Sister Munroe and Alisha are pretty good friends so we all met at Alisha's house and had a lesson! The lesson went really well, we talked about the Bible and how it goes hand in hand with the Book of Mormon. Alisha has such a strong testimony of both the Book of Mormon and Bible. Saturday evening we then went over to Sister Oliver's home and Anna came with us! We all ate dinner together then we had a mini Gospel lesson. Anna is just so awesome, she is the sweetest. Sister Oliver was teach us all about her "Southern Ways" hahahah! I seriously was laughing so hard. After she would say something she would look at Sister Johnson and I and wait for us to repeat in her accent. All of us thought it was the funniest thing ever! (no I will not have an accent by the time I'm back)
This week we also found a new friend to teach! She reached out to us wanting to learn more about prayer. We had a mini lesson getting to know her and it went really well and we set up a return appointment for another lesson! At the end of the encounter we shared the scripture Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened"
I know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers! Just like this scripture says, we must ask AND seek. We must act in faith. We can't expect to have an answer to a question by sitting on the couch watching TV. We really need to seek in prayer and in scriptures, then will he reveal the answer to unto us. I know that we can have answers to all of our problems if we truly have the desire then seek and act in faith.
I love you all and so does Heavenly Father. I hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving and I'm sending my love from Georgia!
