Milagros Por Dias!

I think that's how you say miracles for days in Spanish. Good think I'm an English missionary. That would be bad new bears if I had to learn another language. But there were so many great things that happened this week. The biggest came every time we tried to weekly plan. So every Wednesday we sit down and plan for like 3 hours about what we need to get done the next week. and it's a big chunk of time but really effective if you do it right. So we sit down on Wednesday to plan and we get a call asking for us to go give a blessing. So we left right away and we didn't have a car so we got picked up but we had to walk home (which was fine because all the people we needed to see was down by the hospital). The blessing was cool, because if we had gotten there any later then she would have left because she was being transferred to Lawrence. So that was Miracle in and of itself. 

Then Thursday comes around. We sit down to plan. and thirty minutes into it we get a call from the Zone Leaders. They tell us there is this man that is at the church and wants to learn more. So we get to the church in record time (because lets be honest. how many times does someone just show up on your doorstep that wants to be taught... it happens but not very often) Turns out the guy is super into Family History but the center wasn't opened. But we taught him the first lesson and the spirit was just super strong. and he felt it and identified it and it was awesome! He came to church this week and really enjoyed it. He's a great guy. 

Then Friday we tried to plan again but we got called to give another blessing at the hospital. Super cool guy we had never met before. He was a less active member but came to church this week! Super awesome miracles are happening here in Kansas. Love it! However, we never fully finished our weekly planning but we got what we needed done. So it all works out! Heavenly Father really does work in his own time! 

Another funny story. We were stopping by one of our investigators and her friend is getting out of the car. so Elder Ives starts talking to her and I start talking to the husband. I teach him a brief version the restoration and extend the commitment to read and pray about it and he says "No.. I'll take your word for it" so I was kind of like taken aback and then I say "wait do you believe it's true" and he was like "Yeah, don't really see why you would lie about that" haha he was pretty cool. We haven't seen him again but we'll keep trying. 

This week we went out a team ups with a priest in our ward. He was such an awesome guy and super powerful testimony! He loved it and we just had such a fun time. We jammed out to Diddly Wack Mack Mormon Daddy in the car driving him home. He loved it. haha We are also the YSA elders here in Topeka so we are working with them. It's so different but so much fun! 

Love you all!
