This week I
realized just how powerful prayer is. The week seemed to be dragging on and it
was finally Friday. During language study (we get to take language study
because now we are in a zebra) I was reading this talk by President Uchtdorf
and all of a sudden I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to say a
heart felt prayer out loud and plead for help and just tell my Father in Heaven
what I was going though and feeling. So after I finished the talk I did just that.
I went into the bedroom and just talked to Him. I told Him about every little
thing. It was amazing to feel the strength that came from it. It was amazing to
know that He truly is there and that he loves me and knows unlike anyone else
exactly what I am going through.
During my prayer I
pleaded for help. I told Him how much I truly love the people here and want
more than anything to bring this happiness and joy that comes from living the
gospel to everyone I see. I was struggling because we weren't really having any
success and I didn't know why. I felt like I was doing everything I could and
nothing was happening. After I stood up this overwhelming feeling came over me
that He knew and he was aware of me and the people here in Las Cruces, and that
He truly did have people ready to hear the message, hold on.
Later that same
day we met with an amazing new investigator that talked about how she was
looking for that comfort and peace, and you'll never believe it SHE TOLD US SHE
HAD ALREADY MADE PLANS TO COME TO CHURCH! Even before we invited her or told
her about it. She had a friend in another ward and she had already decided she
was coming. Then on Sunday we met this guy outside of his house that we had repetitively
run into all week and he told us he had a void in his life he wanted to fill
and that he wanted us to come back that night. We we able to teach him and he
loved being able to know that Heavenly Father truly was aware of him.
It was so amazing
to know that after I was able to pray and know that Heavenly Father was aware
of me and His children that he was placing them in our path. He was giving us
those people that desired to have the gospel in their lives. Prayer truly is
powerful. It's one of the most powerful tools we have on this earth. If we
truly pray with real intent and talk with our Father, He will bless us. It's a
promise. Turn to Him and peace unlike any other will come.
Love you lots!
Have a fantastic day!

Our walking days ware us out fast. Thank goodness for Sister Bybee helping us out(: |
So yesterday,
after a long stressful day we were driving home and our tire blew out (yup it
was ripped in lots of pieces) and so we pulled over and started changing it. (I
only remember by dad teaching me how to change a tire when I was 14 so it was
taking a lot to remember it haha) While we were taking the longest time to find
all the tools and a police office pulls up and starts changing the tire for u
(luckily because it would have taken us all night!) So he put the jack under
the car and he didn't up it on right so when he took the tire off the car fell
on the jack and took 4 missionaries and a cop to lift the car up enough to get
the jack out and put the tire back on. So after we finally got the tire fixed
(by this time our zone leaders and our district leader and his companion are
all here) Then after the cop left the car wouldn't start. So we tried jump
starting it and nothing and now we had to call a member of our stake presidency
to come and help us get it started and we find out that when the car fell it
messed up the started and so now the car is in pep boys and we are out of a car
for a little while and so before they took the car we just had to take a
picture.
