Some miracles of the week.
On Wednesdays we are in Sturgis which is about 35 minutes from Three Rivers and we were praying so hard to be effective missionaries while we were there. We were led to a members home and she was alone, her kids had been gone about a week. She was not expecting us so we caught her off guard when we showed up. We shared a message with her and then left. On Sunday she came up and thanked us for stopping by. She said she didn't realize how sad she was and that we really helped her. It was incredible. God knows His children and he knows what their needs are.
JOSEPH CAME TO CHURCH!! We have been trying to get him to come to church for a very long time and it finally happened. It was really funny. People saw him and they were like "Hey who's investigator is that? Is it the Elders or the Sisters?" I took a look at him and I was like I have no clue who that is. I looked again and I was like hold up that is Joseph!! You see he always wears a bandanna and so I have never seen his head. He looks a lot different. He even wore a white shirt and tie. I was so impressed. Prayers have been answered. He loved church. I could tell he felt the spirit. We showed him the font and he made the comment that it had a special feeling about it. He also said that we have a lot to talk about on Tuesday when we meet. I am so excited for him. MIRACLE! PURE MIRACLE!
I got the opportunity to sing in church with Nicolle Ritchie! I just love her! and Shayna Petersen accompanied us! It was so fun! I only got to practice 3 times so that was intimidating. BUT the spirit filled in! I could feel the spirit so strong while we were singing! I love being able to share my talents. I know that I was given them for a reason so I love it when I have opportunities to share. People loved it too. We got lots of compliments and someone even wants to record us.
Brother Garners viewing was yesterday and the funeral was this morning. It was sad but really cool to see how many lives he truly touched. He was an incredible individual! I have really been thinking about how short life is. When I was little my Sister Kaysha used to tell me some wise words that I have never forgotten. "Life is to short to be mad." (I used to have quite the temper) I may not have applied them the best in my life at that time but I feel like the words are sinking in. We have got to be the best we can in this life and we are meant to have joy so Life is too short to be anything but happy!
Also, I have been thinking about how people tend to treat life like a contest. It is not. This is a team sport and we are all here to work together. There is not a occupancy limit it Heaven. So why not help everyone as much as we can so we can all get there?
Well, thanks for tuning into another week with Sister Young(: I am still loving my mission and learning so much! I appreciate all your prayers and support! I hope you are all having a fabulous week! I love you all!!
