ANNNNDDDDDD OUR
NEW COMPANION IS..........SISTER RACKLEY!! She was serving in the UTEP East
side but they took both her and her companion out of the area and put Elders in
that area (I now owe my last zone leader ice cream because I may have lost a
bet with him about that. I thought he was getting put in the UTEP East but he
didn't) but Sister Rackley's companion went up north and she joined us(:
The Lord works in
mysterious ways. And this week He worked through the wind.
The wind was
blowing super super bad yesterday. We were headed to contact a referral name
Stephanie, and I am convinced had we not had our trio our car would have blown
away haha. So when we got to the house we ran as fast as we could to the door
and knocked. Her mom answered and said Stephanie wasn't going to be home until
Thursday. Which was super disappointing but her mom pulled us inside and told
us it was too cold to be outside and that she was going to make us hot chocolate.
So naturally we agreed. haha. We had a great discussion with her and then
when the hot chocolate was done cooking she brought out cookies and nuts and
bananas and all sorts of food and left us at the table. All. Alone. Which was
super awkward. She also gave us way more than we could eat, but because she was
Hispanic it is rude to not eat something so we may have stuffed my pockets full
of the food we couldn't eat haha. but we hurried and ate our food (or as much
as we could) and the second we finished, the door flew open and Stephanie
walked through the door. She was on her way to Mexico but because of the wind
storm she came home early. We taught her the first lesson and it was amazing!!
The spirit was so strong! I can't even describe it! SHE IS LITERALLY GOLDEN
THOUGH!!
Then the second we
walked out of her house the wind stopped. The wind was such a tender mercy. If
it wasn't for the wind her mom would not have invited us inside. If it wasn't
for the wind Stephanie would not have come home when she did. If it wasn't for
the wind who knows when we would have gotten a hold of Stephanie. The Lord
gives us so much better than we deserve. I know that He was looking out for us
and for Stephanie that day.
This story reminds
me of the time that Jesus calmed the sea of Galilee and after He did so he
asked "How is it ye have no faith?" Sometimes we forget that the Lord
is all knowing and everything works together for our good. Everything is in His
hands. We just need to remember that. This is His work. This is His plan. He
has a plan and He is preparing a way for us to accomplish the things that lay
ahead.
He has a plan for
you! Don't ever lose faith in that. He knows you and knows how to strengthen
you and how to make you the person you can one day become.
I love you all and
I love this gospel with every fiber in my being!! I am never coming home from
my mission though just by the way.... haha
Love,
Sister Wade(:
