You are a Child of God. :)

Hey y'all!! :)

Last p day we went to Hamcats area and had a picnic adventure! They live on a farm so we pet the horses too. :)  it would be fun to live on a farm for a week and see what it's like. That night we street contacted this guy named Rock. And he invited us into his girlfriend's apartment immediately and we had a restoration lesson! It was amazing! He was so sincere and open minded. His girlfriend wasn't really about it but she was kind. He accepted the invite to be baptized if he felt it was true. It was so cool. Such a miracle! And at the end he offered to pray. So there we were. All sitting around his table holding hands. And one of the lines he said just really touched my heart. He said, "...please bless them throughout the rest of their lives until the day You call them home Father." I was really touched. We passed him to another set of sisters (life of a YSA missionary haha) but it was quite the blessing to meet him!

Natasha

Holly is doing good, but we have to take a break teaching her because her mom wanted her too. She is still so strong and just tells us "we just have to keep on praying and everything will be okay." AWWW MY HEART. I LOVE HER!! We had exchanges with the Leesburg sistas on Tuesday!! I was with Sister Trembath. She rocks. One, she sings like an angel and I made her sing for me a lot. Two, she is the happiest missionary you will ever meet and I am so grateful for her example. We had a blast! We went and visited Natasha, the woman from Croatia. LOVE HER. She is an angel. The Leesburg sisters will be teaching her. That night, we had to pick up dinner. It was breakfast from the Brassaninins! Oh yeah. We didn't have the keys to the other so we went to the church and used the syrup in the fridge. Haha see pic. 

Church Pancakes

We had zone Training and it was all about believing! Because all things are possible to those that believe :) "Believe in God, believe that He is and created all things...". "Be not afraid, only believe" Mark 5:36. The zone leaders sang an African rap it was cool. Coolerthan our training haha. That night we met this guy named Jared. Jared was quite the character. He's a salesman. We talked about the Book of Mormon and repentance. At the end he told us that we did a really great job at "selling" the product and so he would read it. Wow I had never gotten that compliment before so that was cool! Haha then Sunday night was when we were supposed to meet with him again. So we drove all the way out to his house. Kennedy came too. She had gotten there before us and the house looked pretty dark with only a few lights on. It was a HUGE beautiful house too! She called us and was like "guys this is kinda creepy are you almost here?!" When we got there both me and sis Moore felt kind of weird and nervous. We got out of the car and knocked on the door. No one answered. We hesitated to ring the door bell but then did anyway. No one answered... and usually I'm all about knocking 3 times until we leave but we just felt weird so we ran outta there! Who knows what would've happened, all I know is that I am SO GRATEFUL for the gift of the Holy Ghost and for Him warning us.

We had interviews this week! I love president. He is amazing. We had a good chat and he told me I might stay another transfer... but shh who knows it's not set in stone. Ya never know with President! ;) I always leave talking to President feeling so much better about myself, the work, life in general! Haha. He just makes ya happy. I am grateful to serve under his direction. We tracted into a lady named Michelle. She was A MIRACLE!! She had driven by the church multiple times and had just started thinking bout the need to get out more, then we knocked on her door. She kept telling us "this is good. This was supposed to happen... this was supposed to happen!" I was amazed. I sure know it was supposed tohappen! She is amazing!! We are having church tour with her soon. God truly does lead you to the prepared individuals. He shows me again and again that this is His work. Not mine. And He does things in His own timing.

Waffle Balls

I discovered a new treat to make this week! Hahah. You take a cake pop maker (because who doesn't have one of those?! Haha WE DO! The things you find in missionary apartments.) and make pancake mix.... and BOOM VOILA. I called them waffle balls. They were super good. See pic. We had a double blitz on Saturday!! We were in hamcat and me and sister Woolston discovered a house that looked like it was from pride and prejudice. SO COOL. Of course I had to pose in front of it. Also, me and sis Jackman blitzed in the nighttime and froze but kind people let us in for a few min here and there to offer water. This one man, Subhan, from Pakistan I think? He was so sweet and talked with us about prayer. He wanted to feed us food too he was so kind. I love people.

Last night we met a guy who had just walked out onto his porch. His name is Wilson. He was about to start smoking I guess, when we walked up. Later on he told us that he has been praying to God to quit smoking but he hasn't been able to! And then we walked up to him! I said "well I don't think it was a coincidence!" And he said "maybe not!" Haha he was a hoot. I offered to throw away his cigar and he said he would throw it away haha. We left him with a few pamphlets including the word of wisdom. There He goes again, God leading us to those that need Him. So amazed.


Carlos had a gem of a quote this week!! He said in our lesson "when you don't read the scriptures, you feel like a part of the world. When you do read them, you feel like a child of God." AMEN CARLOS AMEN. So remember that. Read the scripture daily. It will remind you of who you really are, A child of God. :)

Well I love you all so much. I can't even tell ya enough. Thank you for your constant prayers and love and encouragement. My heart is filled every time I read your letters, emails. I feel your prayers. Have a blessed and beautiful week! VA is about to get hit with a bad snow storm so I guess spring wasn't here permanently. :/ NEVERTHELESS THE GOSPEL IS TRUE AND I LOVE YOU!

Love,XoxoxoSister Hymas :)
