Week 42

Hello family and friends!

I hope you all had an incredible week. It is beautiful here in Nebraska! The snow has been falling the past few days, so you know what that means?? Cars are grounded (we cannot drive them). BUT that means miracles! because the members have been driving us around which is fantastic. If the members drive us around we get to talk to them and they come to lessons with us and things just get good. :) That is the Lords way. :)

This week we were in Kearney about 24 hours. Phew! We drove out to North Platte on Tuesday, but our cars were grounded in North Platte, so we stayed a few more days. Sister Page looked at me and said, "I had a prompting to pack some extra clothes." Oops! Good thing she is close to the spirit. :)

It was a miracle though. Heavenly Father wanted us to stay. Since our cars were grounded, we had to get rides from the members. Every single door opened. We had incredible lessons and so much success. After the exchange we got together with the sisters and talked about how Heavenly Father blatantly showed us that this is His work and we must do it His way. We must be working side by side the members.

We drove out to Omaha on Friday to a leadership conference. President Weston gave a training on obedience. He asked, "Do you want to be a powerful missionary?...Then be exactly obedient and I promise you will be." It is so simple. Obedience is the first law of heaven. The Lord is bound when we do what He says. An obedient missionary is a powerful missionary. And this applies to everyone. Before my mission I really didn't think much about obedience...I just thought I needed to obey what my parents said. I was wrong.

Heavenly Father has commanded us to do much more than be obedient to our parents.

The Gospel is the truth! The Book of Mormon has the power to change lives. Obedience and covenant keeping are the key to eternal life.

 We only have one progressing investigator named David. He came to a baptism with us on Saturday. He is beginning to read the Book of Mormon and is very open to the spirit, which is key. We are having another lesson with him and his father on Thursday, we are praying that they will be willing to set a date for baptism.

I love you all and hope you have a great week!
