This week was really awesome. There was transfers on Wednesday and Sister Case and I are staying together. Just us and the sisters we live with are the only one's in the Zone that are staying so that's hype. Sister Case and I saw so many cool things back to back to back that happened from Tuesday to Thursday. It showed to me that there really is a reason for everything and there is a reason why we are staying together!
We were in Forsyth on Wednesday about to go into a lesson with Debby and Renae when a lady drove past us and stopped. She rolled down her window and waved at us so we came up to the car and said how she will be off on Friday this week and how she would like us to come do studies again. Sister Case and I were SO confused. She told us that sisters in the past would come over and study with her from the Bible and she couldn't remember the other book so we said the Book of Mormon and she said yes! Her name is Brenda and she gave us her number and her address then told us to call her. Sister Case and I were so shocked what had just happened, super cool miracle!
My mission does a lot of missionary Facebook work. Sister Case and I help run the local Facebook and run ads for it. Every day there is a different companionship who watches it and the messages that comes in. Well on Friday we were on the page and I saw an old message and opened it. Well I reached back out and within 10 minutes we were on the phone talking! She even lives in OUR specific area in the stake. It is super cool to see the positive influence media can have.
Darrell! He has been taught for a few months and Sister Case but I haven't been able to teach too much recently. Well on Sunday we were standing by the door greeting with Freddie (he does it every week) and Freddie goes, "Hey Darrell is here!" Sister Case and I were like WHAT! We looked over and Brother Chase went and picked him up! Freddie then said "I saw him before yall did!" Then we laughed and it was really cool seeing Darrell at church. We haven't been able to see too many of our friends at church.
MACON STAKE SPANISH GROUP? SAY LESS! A few days ago Hermano Villanova had a meeting with all 8 of us missionaries and told us that the stake is going to do a Spanish group starting the 1st week of August. It's going to be after the Macon ward! We are all so excited! It will be really cool to see a start of a Spanish group here. Plus, now I get 3 hour church again lol!
I have been reflecting a lot lately on my growth from the beginning of the mission to towards the end and it has been really cool. Seeing where the Lord has needed me and how it has helped me grow and gain a deeper conversion. The biggest thing that has helped me to gain this conversion is reading the scriptures daily, specifically the Book of Mormon. It is something so simple that many people don't do daily. If we read the scriptures every single day we would have so much more peace and guidance. I hope everyone can make Christ a high priority in every day and open the scriptures because it truly does give us strength. There have been so many times where I read something that morning and the spirit told me someone needed to hear it. I love you all and so does God! Thanks for the emails throughout the week!
