I forgot to tell a fun story in my email last week so here you go!! My companion and I were in McDonald's doing some studies and I set my phone on my tray. A little while later one of the workers cam and grabbed our trays and took them away from us! Very nice, I know! So we finish our studies and go to leave and I wanted to turn on a song in the car because I had an unconsecrated song stuck in my head from McDonald's. So anyways I'm looking and looking and I can't find my phone! I check all of my pockets at least three times and it is nowhere to be found! So I figure I left it in McDonald's! As we drive farther away my phone disconnects from the car because it's too far away so at this point I am 99.99% sure it's in McDonald's and then when we turn around and drive back to McDonald's my phone reconnects to the car. So at this point I am 100% sure my phone is in McDonald's. We have a pretty good idea of what happened and I am fully prepared to go dumpster diving to find it! Haha! So I say to Sister Nye, "I have a distinct impression that it's in McDonald's!" So I take one step inside McDonald's. One single step and I stop. All of a sudden I feel a weight inside my pocket and I turn around and look at Sister Nye and pull my phone out of my pocket. I have no idea what happened, but all I know is that I believe in a God of miracles! Haha!!!
On to this week:
Another time we were at McDonald's and this guy who I've been talking to on Facebook works there in the back! So he said I should say hi to him sometime when I'm there. So I ask someone to grab him so I can say hi and he comes up front says hi and then walks away!! As he was walking away I look at him dumbfounded and there is a pickle on his shoulder!! Haha!! Sister Nye and I walked outside and just burst out laughing it was so awkward haha!!
We also went to visit this lady we are teaching and it was so crazy funny! We had bought her some ornaments for her Christmas tree and were going to deliver them to her, but when we knocked no one answered! So we were just like, "let's check to see if the door is unlocked and we can surprise decorate her tree!" So we check... and the door is locked. Luckily all Vermont houses have at least 5 outside doors. So we go to check the other door and it;s unlocked!! So we open the door and walk inside and are like, "Hello??" And this lady jumps off the couch and comes running and is just like, " Oh! Hey, how are yall?" She is totally chill! She doesn't are in the slightest that we just broke into her house! Haha! So we chat for a little while and are reading from the scriptures when This lady goes into this story of how she was kidnapped when she was 17 and she goes, "Yeah, and then I witnessed a murder! I know, right? Yeah and then I got arrested because after I escaped I didn't report the murder. I know right??" We were just like, "What in the world is going on!" So then I just feel the strongest prompting to invite her to be baptized! So I do and she's just like, "Yeah, That would be way cool! Oh, I have a question, Are all baptisms the same? Cause my foster parents sent me to a Christian camp when I was younger and at the end they dunked me in a river, but I had no idea what was going on." Haha! We told her that it had to be done by the proper authority and she said that made sense! So anyways, that was pretty cool!
Then yesterday, this guy who we were teaching came to church! We've been teaching him for about 5 months and this was his first time coming to church!! After church was over we walked him to his car and GUESS WHAT HE TOLD US! He's already a member! He was baptized in Massachusetts 20 years ago! Haha, so that was crazy!
It's been a fun week!
I have been so grateful this week for all the wonderful gifts Christ has given us!! I am so grateful for the love and the comfort He offers us! I have felt His presence in my life and I have come to know Him as my brother, my friend, and my Savior! Follow Him and He will carry you through your trials! ❤❤
I love you all so much!!
