ITS HAILING IN AZ?

HEY FAMILY & FRIENDS!!!
here is a little bit of what's been going on..

J is a recent convert of about 5 months, and since he was baptized he hasn't been to church. In a lesson we told J to pray and ask God if the church was true and he did, then we flipped the Book of Mormon up randomly and those pages answered all of his questions he had been asking  perfectly. We told him if he promised us (and God) that he would make time for church, that the lord would provide a way for him to get there. (He works all over Tucson on Sundays). He was super hesitant on making that promise because he didn't want to break it, but he finally said "Ok I will give it a shot. I promise." On Saturday he was confirming a job he would've had to do on Sunday and they texted him and canceled... He came to church. We were happy missionaries(: #miracle

D was our waitress at olive garden. She left us a cute note at the end of dinner thanking us and such, and we wrote one back and told her to add us on FB at the end. She added us and messaged us letting us know how much it meant to her that we wrote her the note we did. After a little bit of messaging back and forth, she wants to meet with us and bring her friend. #miracle

Drove out to San Manuel on Sunday for church. At the end of sacramemt we were talking with people and this father and his older son come up to us and say "sisters you got your work cut out for you because we want to be baptized." #miracle

We have been meeting with a guy who has a LOT of deep questions and concerns. During a lesson we had it was very cool to see how he would start with something he didn't agree with at all and then throughout talking he would start to have a positive and open mind that he would pray about those concerns. We set a bap date with him!!! #hugemiracle

The weather is like a teenage girl here. One minute we get dust storm warnings, then it's a down pouring monsoon, or hot and dry, or humid, but recently we have added hail to that. It's lovely.

Still learning the piano and getting better and better every free moment I have. I LOVE IT. I feel the Spirit so strong through music.

It has been everything I have needed pink washing this area. My prayers have been answered in a million ways and a million different times. I have changed so much in the 3 weeks I've been here and I just can't express the words for how much I LOVE what I am doing. I wouldnt trade this for anything. Can't believe how fast it has gone by. The Lord has blessed me in abundance here.

1 Nephi 18:24 "And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance."
I can imagine myself getting to a new place and not wanting to use ALL my seeds incase it doesn't work out. But they put ALL their seeds in the earth and the Lord blessed them in abundance. Some days it takes everything in me to be a missionary, but the Lord has showed me time and time again His love for me and the people here and I have grown exceedingly because of my mission. I really love it.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK! ((:
