Thanksgiving was a blast. We had 4 dinners! My stomach still hurts...
We started teaching M's husband this week! We taught them the restoration and M even taught him how to pray and everything. The spirit was super strong the whole time and their home felt so peaceful. They both came to church with the kids. Just a few weeks ago he wanted nothing to do with us but somehow his heart changed. I'm so excited.
We were putting up a poster for our English class and I saw a guy in a wheelchair with a sweet soccer jersey on. So I ran over and gave him a picture of Jesus. We talked to him for a little while and it turns out that he was taught by missionaries in South Carolina about 10 years ago. He has a Book of Mormon and everything. He wants us to go teach him!
Last night we were getting driving home at about 9. I saw a lady pulled off to the side of the feeder off of the freeway. She got out of her car to look at the tire or something. I felt a tug to go help her but it was late and I wasn't sure how much we could do to help her. After awhile I couldn't shake the tugging feeling so I turned
around and we parked and ran over to her car. She ended up being a member and had her family was in there with her. She said someone was already on the way to help them. Although we couldn't help her at all I felt a reassurance that it was an answer to her prayers. At the same time it was an answer to some of things I had asked Heavenly Father. How often do we brush off promptings of the spirit? That has always been something I have struggled with, but this experience taught me that any good thought can come from God. The bishop in my current ward has taught me a lot about personal revelation. It can become a way of thinking. We can bring about the purpose of God with the gift of the spirit.
Words of Mormon 1:7 And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it
whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord
which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord
knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to
do according to his will.
