Holy cows. I can't believe on Wednesday it has been 9 months since i went into the MTC:) Time really does fly... So Sister Tait is here in Woodstock! She is from Cedar City, UT and graduated high school last June. Transfers went well and we exchanged with other sisters in Frederick. She just got out of training and is an amazing missionary. She's quiet, but she has a powerful testimony and she is so Christlike. I have already learned so much from her!
We had some sweet miracles this week:) Jenna, who attends the military academy, got back to us and we were able to go over with Jadi and teach her the plan of salvation! It was awesome.
We also were able to teach a woman named Donna. She said that when the Elders helped bring in her groceries there was a light about them that seemed real. She said she felt that same happiness when we called to set up an appointment:) We brought an awesome member of the ward with us to teach her. After the lesson, the member asked us how we decide who to bring to appointments with us. I told her we pray and follow the Spirit:) She started crying and said that she was having a really hard day feeling that she wasn't able to do anything she used to and then we called her. She said it was an answer to her prayers... how cool that the Lord uses us to answer prayers even in the smallest of ways?
Also, the Hudsons in our ward are a really funny couple from Utah. They said that they know the Sinks from North Las Vegas! They used to be their neighbors! They wanted me to say hi for them! Haha, small world again:)
Brandi came to church yesterday! Gospel principles was very interesting haha. I love the tiny Woodstock Ward with my whole heart. There are incredibly special people here.
Oh man, I wish I could write out all the many miracles and experiences I have had this week. There have been so many. And so many times has the Lord answered my prayers. He is so real. I know this beautiful gospel is true. I love the Book of Mormon. It's power is real. Have a blessed week:)
