Christmas Miracle!

 Hey yall! 


This week has been a week. Phew! Started off slow but on Friday things picked up. 

On Friday we had lunch with all 6 missionaries in Council Bluffs and the senior missionaries that just got assigned to our ward. We have such a great need for rides for our friends their sole assignment is to give rides to the people we teach! 

On Saturday we got to help the lovely Linda (a recent convert) wrap Christmas presents! It's amazing how generous mid westerners are. Never seen anything like it. 

Miracle Monday. What a time. We found out Sunday night that one of the sisters in our stewardship was going to head home early  :( always heart breaking and especially so with a sister I am very close with. We are now a trio in Council Bluffs and cover our area as well as theirs! We ended up finding 3 new people to teach yesterday between the two areas. 

One of them was Ashley! We were driving in a less than choice area of town and saw a woman walking on the sidewalk with a man next to her. We started down the street she was on and the guy made a b-line across the street. Apparently she was in danger and prayed that God would protect her. When we offered a message about Jesus Christ she was so excited!! We walked her home and shared a message with her. 

"Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day." Alma 37:37 

Also, today we got to go to the temple! The temple is where we can feel closest to God in this life and where we can make promises with him. Go visit the temple, walk around and feel the special Spirit there. 

Jesus loves you,
