Hey everyone!
Another amazing week her is Spotan! So this week I had to give a talk in church. I was scared but It was amazing how calm I gto as soon as I walked into the chapel. Theres something amazing about being a missioanry and having to talk whether it be in church or to a random person on the street cause literally all we have to do it have the courage to open our mouths and the spirit does the rest. Its hard to describe but its the most amazing thing. I didn't follow basically anything on the paper I had written down and I don't really remember much of what I said but My companion said thats when you know you're speaking by the spirit. She said it was really good and when she looked out into the congregation, it was silent and still (which never really happens cause we have a really loud and crazy crowd haha) but that made me feel super good. Miracles. Many miracles. FIRST: We found out my companions bike that breaks all the time is magic. We literally have to stop and put the chain back on every 5-10 blocks but its magic because every single time we do we end up talking to someone, or stopping right in front of a house we need to knock! ITS CRAZY! We knocked a house that it broke at and the people said they would love to come on a church tour(no one wants to go on a church tour). yesterday it broke and a less active pulled up that we have been trying to contact for 5 months and helped us with it (as I pretended to not know what i was doing..Im pro tho) and we got his info and set up a time to meet with him! Theres been SO many times this miracle bike has broken in perfect times! Its almost like the spirit is trying to tell us to stop and when we dont listen HE BREAKS THE BIKE! hahah its wonderful.
SECOND miracle: we were riding our bikes to a dinner appoiontment and i got the WORST bloody nose! I was riding with my head tilted back and looked like a goon so we stopped right in front of a part member families house(gold) and two guys came out to talk to us. I turned around so they cant see my face cause blood is literally gushing out of my face haha and im laughing like "ya sorry, I wish I could talk haha but sister hood you take this one" I appologized and the boys felt awakward like "do you need anything" Im like "Noo no worries"(as im kneeling on the floor wiping tissue after tissue but it literally wont stop) Finally we go around the corner and I lay on my back in the middle of the road to try and get it to stop. Sister Hood is peeing her pants cause i look like I was just in a massacre. blood all over my face and hands hahah but she says ok get up! we're saying a prayer! after 15 min of this non stop bloody nose I was willing to try anything hahah So we pray and I'm laughing like crazy and as soon as she says amen I take the tissue out and IT STOPED. seriously it did. It was NUTS! but It was a miracle we stopped at the house we did cause those two boys were the same ones our ysa elders were trying to get ahold of and we got all there info!!!(well sister hood did as I was on the floor cleaning myself up) But miracle non the less!
Third: random phone number calls us and we say "hello this is the missionaries" she says she had the wrong number and we kept talking to her and she ended up asking us to send someone to give her a priesthood blessing cause she's at the hospital and she just had a baby and needs a blessing! She's not a member but she's been to our church a couple times. MIRACLE there is no such thing as coincidence! every single person we come in contact to is for a reason. I love being a missionary.
ps: Mom and Dad you have no idea how much that missionary story meant to me! Theres so many wonderful missionaries out there that just need an extra boost of help. Thank you so much for following the spirit and being an answer to his prayers! Nicole Katie and josh will always remember that! I DIED LAUGHING when I heard that story about you driving colie and Katie and josh to the homeless corner and saying "stare into their faces" hahahah I WAS DYING!! that's so your way of teaching dad.
I love you al sooooo much! have an awesome week I'll see ya soon!
