week 84

hey!

This week was pretty good. We have had lots going on so its kept us busy. However the work of course is still going. Elder Calmacio is tons of fun. Hes only been a member 2 years but has lots of knowledge and is really teachable so it makes training easy.

We had Jay Jay baptism this past week. Man it was a great service and everything went smoothly once it got started. but we got a call Saturday morning from our ward mission leader telling us the font was broken and he needed help filling it up. So we headed over to the church to help., I didn't realize how bad it was until we got there... we had to fill up buckets outside the church one by one and then carry them into the church. Needless to say it took a long time. 

Blessings of church attendance... we have progressing investigators right now who are siblings. Well one of them accidentally burned her foot on Thursday night. Like really bad. She was making gravy for their fried chicken stand when the boiling pot got knocked off and onto her foot. So her entire foot got burned super bad. Well fast forward to Saturday night.  we went and taught them the importance of the sabbath day and invited them to come to church and she looked at us and said " elders i want to go but i cant walk really well with my foot" well i thought that was a valid excuse and was about to just leave it at that but i felt something tell me to promise her if she comes to church her foot will be healed.So i told her "Sister if you come to church tomorrow your foot will be healed." She gave me a little weird look and so did my companion but i felt confident with the prompting. Well the following day we were sitting at the front of the church greeting people when limping sister may came into the church. She looked at me and said "elder you better be right because my foot really hurts right now" She stayed for both hours and then went home right away. The following day (Monday) we went back to the siblings to follow up on church and how they were doing. Well right as we turned the corner for their house we saw May and her little sister running around in the street. She came running up to us and said "Elders Look! I woke up this morning and it was all better. it doesnt hurt anymore!" I felt the biggest rush of the spirit come over me. Its truly amazing that as we keep the commandments and put God first in our lifes we will be blessed. I know Jesus Christ lives and is our Savior. I am so grateful for the miracles we experience because of our faith.

I love you all lots!
