Missionary Work is the Absolute Best!

Nowwww for this week! This week included all phases of missionary work, tracting/member work/service/rejection.... but most importantly.... MIRACLES!!! WOOOO!

First miracle.... so we have this Less Active named Sister T. she has been less active most of her life and her son is less active AND has a non-member girlfriend. We went to see the girlfriend this past week ... she looked down as! And she told us she barely just got back from work and was so tired.... so we just had a good casual chat on how she was doing, then we started to share a message... and we felt impressed to share Alma 58:9-13.... And the moral of the story is.... in times of fear and need.... Pray! We shared that with her and she started crying and opened up to us saying she's been having this guy at work hassle her and being very threatening to her safety and she said, the last thing I thought to do was pray..... and she said... quote... "I know for a fact that this message was for me.... whenever I need help in life... you know what Heavenly Father does?.... He sends the Elders to always knock on my door when I need His help! The Elders are always there for me!"...... I was so humbled when she said that.... It just brought a huge realization of the sacred power of our calling... to be an instrument in the Lord's hands... being guided to the right people in the right time.... And what is even cooler!!! We had dinner at their house last night! And Sis.T has been exposing her son's girlfriend to the gospel this past week... and she asked us HEAPS of questions at dinner and so we set up a return appointment to have the discussions with her! Now here's what the crazy part of the story is.... She's met missionaries in this ward from Me (current).... to Elder Menzie (served here 2 years ago)... And they all have planted seeds... but now finally after so long... she's been prepared... and we're the lucky ones that are able to harvest! WOOOOOO!

Soo this week... for the first time.... I taught...... CHILDREN!!!! WOOOO!!!! Oh.my.goodness. They are SO EASY to teach! Compared to like bashy evangelists and stubborn english people (no offense mum)... But they are just so precious and absorb everything so easy! This Less Active lady, Sis. E.. she has two kids ages 9 and 10. She wants both of them baptized... so we taught them and as we did so... their mum sat in on the lesson and we could tell she was feeling the spirit big time! So it was a double whammy! It was just super humbling though being able to teach children! Their childlike mind is so funny! I was teaching about the priesthood... comparing the authority the prophet has like the authority of a drivers license... without the drivers license.... the person can't drive.... it's like the prophet... without the priesthood... he can't speak to god and guide the church! Then one of the kids goes "So the cops uniform gives them authority to shoot people?" Hahahaha, I was like..... yes.... yes it does... hahha jk. So they are super cool! And we did heaps of service.... just to give you an idea of what went down... shoveled like 1,000lbs  of compost across this garden...Set up a billion games and tents for this country fair at a public school... and last but not least.... went to a sketch house and mowed half a lawn before we had to leave due to domestic violence and cops showing up... how lovely... But this week was legit! As every week is! Missionary work is the absolute best! There's nothing better anyone could ever be doing, not school, their dream career or anything...
