Week 69

Hello family and friends!

What a week! Heavenly Father loves each of us so much! He loves me for sure. I will tell you why.

SO, by a miracle and Sister Dumont following the spirit...Sister Nelson and I went to the trail center at the exact time that KAREN WENT!!! :) Bah! As soon as I saw her, sister dumont, sister smith, and sister dinkel my heart just about burst! I couldn't help but think, "this is JOY!"

KAREN IS GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEK! On thursday :) It was an incredible experience getting to see her again. This is all possible because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was such a tender mercy. Heavenly Father loves us.

We also got to have an amazing lessons with Ron! Ron is a miracle. I don't remember if I told you, but we found Ron while walking down the street. He was baptized when he was 18 and now he is 40ish....he hasn't been to church since. We taught him the plan of salvation at a members home (his home teachers home!) It was so perfect. Ron loved it! haha. When members and missionaries work together, miracles happen. :) Ron came to church again :)

Desmond and his family came to church as well! He has not set a baptismal date yet, but it will happen! Their family is so special and we both feel that as they read the Book of Mormon together as a family daily, everything will work out and they will eventually make it to the temple as a family.

We got to go to the temple this week! Bah! I was crying almost the entire time. Multiple times while we were there, I thought of 17 miracles and the young lady that says, "it will all be worth it." With all my heart I know that is true. Having a temple marriage, being worthy of the temple is worth EVERY sacrifice!

We are focusing on the Book of Mormon as a mission right now. I am so grateful for this. Studying and applying the Book of Mormon everyday is essential! It is one of the greatest ways that we can come to know our Savior and apply the atonement everyday.

Thank you for your examples for me. I know the time is now. It sounds like the world is getting worse and worse...please think about how much the gospel has blessed your life and given you hope! then think of those around you and share :)

Have a great week!
Love, Sister Call
