McLean Day and Brick Layin

Wow what a week!!!

It flew by so quick. We had exchanges with our STLs this week! We have Hermanas as ourSister Training Leaders so you know what that means.... I WAS AN HERMANA FOR A DAY. haha jk not really because I don't know a lick of Spanish. But I try. Haha during all the Spanish contacts and lessons I just sat there in awe watching Hermana Miller teach the gospel in Spanish. It was pretty cool to experience that! The Spanish people are so full of love. Seriously. I love em! Ive decided my line of work..... BRICK MASON. haha we got to help Brother Chandler lay bricks on his wall this week! Okay I was kidding about being a brick mason because it's hard! Especially when it's hot outside! Haha and I do not have the patience to do that. But it was a great experience, now I know how to lay bricks! :)

Our whole zone had the cool opportunity to volunteer at what's called "McLean Day" which is basically a huge fair, like Herriman Days. The missionaries were scattered about helping with different things. It was a long day, we were there from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. PHEW we were all beat! Me and Sister Gewondjan were Survey Takers, so we got to go out among the crowd and say "take a survey about McLean Day and get a free t-shirt! Wanna a free t-shirt?! Take the survey!!...." la di da etc. haha I felt like a business woman. We didn't do too shabby either. ;) we had some cool opportunities to share what we do as missionaries with people! Plus they gave us food tickets so we got to eat for free at some super good food trucks like "Crepe Love" ... yeah it was super good.

Last night we had a cool lesson with a huge family full of girls! Me and Hermana Miller met them on exchanges. They were referred by their neighbor so we tried them and they told us that they had been reading the Book of Mormon the night before and then we knocked on their door the next day. Talk about not a coincidence!! So we taught part of the restoration to 6 sisters last night, ages ranging from 5-24, and answered many of their questions. They were all so sweet and are eager for us to come back. They seem interested yet are pretty solid in their faith, so we will see what happens! It was such a blessing and miracle to meet them. 

God is so good every day, all the time. Sometimes we are just blinded to see that. I truly do know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. And if someone sincerely wants to know that, if they read it, one they will come to see that it testifies of Him all throughout the Book. And two, if they pray about it with real intent they will receive an answer by the power of the Holy Ghost of its truth. It confirms the testimony of the Bible. It is true. I know the gospel has been restored and that there are so many blessings available for those who live and accept it. I love it all so much and am so grateful everyday for it. I know Jesus Christ lives and loves us. Have a beautiful wonderful week. Make it the best week EVER!
