Miracles on miracles!!! My area, Covington, is an English area, although President Needs told me in an interview that I am here with Sister Bettinger (she changed her language while in the mission to Spanish) to find people in Spanish! So we have been praying really hard to find people in Spanish. Well last Monday we were walking in Covington Square and there was a cat in the road and Sister Bettinger ran and started petting it with another lady. Soon we realized they were Hispanic and so I went over to the husband (I don't like cats) and started talking. We explained our purpose and they didn't seem too excited about the Gospel but did like English Class! So we got His number and have been scheduling a time to teach him!
Another miracle! So on Saturday Sister Bettinger and I were DRAINED from planning the Why I Believe program, so she wanted to go to the gas station to get a soda. Well we walk in and see two Hispanics. After she gets her soda we go up and ask how they are doing (a great attention grabber is just asking how they are as passing because they are confused why we know Spanish lol) So we explained our purpose and told them also about English classes and both of them want to come to church in English with us! They knew a little English but not a bunch.
God is soooooo good and he will use us as instruments in His hands if we allow Him. We had Zone Conference this week and we talked a lot about our will. How the BIGGEST sacrifice that we can give Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is our will. Are we willing to take time to read our scriptures daily? Are we willing to pray to Heavenly Father daily? Are we willing to love to our neighbors? Are we willing to let the gospel change us into who Heavenly Father expects us to be? I know that He loves each and every one of us. We can show our love for Him by being willing to be instruments in His hands!
I love you all! Have a good week!
