Sisters Conference this week was so amazing! I was able to see Sister
Giddins and Sister Jenkins that I roomed with in the MTC. We talked a
lot about recognizing who we are as daughters of Heavenly Father and
remembering that in the hard times. President and Sister Bennion gave
each sister a rose at the end of the day and that just topped it off
as one of the greatest days for me!
Elder Woodwell (from the ward back home) gave a training in District
Meeting this week. He did an amazing job! He and his companion he is
training have been setting all kinds of records. Make sure to tell his
parents.
Prayer works. I never would have dreamed I'd have the love for the
scriptures like I do now. I love them. I never want to put them down!
Crazy story... We had a less active member contact us saying she
wanted to go to church. She said gets panic and anxiety attacks so
someone would need to be with her at all times and she needed a ride.
The ward got her a ride and she kind of attached herself to me at
church. Last week was great! She loved being back! This week she came
to sit by me again. Just after the water was passed in sacrament
meeting she leaned over and said "We've got to go into another room
now!". Sister Tuitea was sitting a few rows ahead with a different
family we are teaching. I tapped a lady in the ward to come with us
that was aware of her circumstances to come out with us. Before we
could get into an empty classroom she collapsed on the ground in the
hallway. She was hyperventilating and shaking while I held both her
hands and tried to calm her down. Luckily our ward mission leader is a
doctor and he came out too. An ambulance came and picked her up and
took her to the hospital. We went to check on her at her home when she
was released from the hospital a few hours later. She was doing much
better! She was so thankful for us and so was her family! Her husband
who had some negative experiences with the church in the past now
wants to know more and is reading the Book of Mormon and planning to
come to church. Their niece is also planning on attending with us as
well and we hope to begin teaching her soon too. The Lord works in
mysterious ways!
I love all ya'll so much! Thank you for your prayers.
