Week 52

What a week!
This past week was as always just great :) We had Trade-off's in Traverse City. I was with Sister Fowels this week. She is just great. When I was in Midland she was there for about 2 transfers and knew her a little bit, but I got to get to know her a little bit more. She is from a tiny town just out side of Delta Utah. She is 24 and a message therapist! hah We had a great time together. We were able to do a bit of everything as we went out doing the Lord's work. At the end of the night she even gave me a little message, let's just say that I didn't complain one bit!

 

On Friday night we were out walking around the lake here in Cadillac talking to people and we met this guy named Phillip. Phillip had a very thick accent. We kept talking to him and asked where he was from and what he was doing in Cadillac. He is from Switzerland and was here for a race. This past weekend here they had a 200 mile race from Grand Rapids to Cadillac and back. He was running in it as a relay with some friends as he now lives in Boston, he was so nonchalant about the whole thing but come to find out from some of the teammates that he was running just over 30 miles all together (no big deal). We talked to him for awhile and we shared a bit about the gospel and gave him a mormon.org card. He was so excited about it and asked if he could have at least 5 more to give his friends. We were sooo sad that he wasn't living here in Cadillac.

 

We also had a great lesson with Carole Wheeler our investigator! She is so great! Please keep her in your prayers. She came to church on Sunday and said that the spirit was speaking to her so strong while at church and that she needs to get married to her friend Bob. She is his caretaker but she thinks that she just needs to marry him. So they talked about it and she thinks they will! It was a perfect leeway into the Law of Chastity and Word of Wisdom. She is wanting to make all these changes into her life and knows it is what she needs to do.  Much progress is coming from her and I am so excited :)
 

The next investigator is Barb. Barb is making so much progress. Last week I said how we gave her a Book of Mormon. Well yesterday when we went back she had been studying it and really praying about it. We have a church activity this week and she really wants to come to it, hopefully as we keep teaching her we can put her on baptismal date and see her enter into the waters.

 

Church was a miracle as well. Before church happened we got a call from a lady named Gail. Who hasn't been to church ohhh in about 8 years. We have been seeing her regularly and she was calling to tell us she was coming to church!! She came and absolutely loved it. Then when we got to church, here comes Addison Freeman a less active we have been working with. W get inside and Lee Blaksley was there too :) I look over and see Carole with some members talking and Then Franasco. What an eventful Sabbath. So many great people came to church I loved it!! I truly look forward to Sunday each week.

 

Just in closing today I have a quote by Sister Cordon
"Heavenly Father is ready to give; if we will but ask in Faith."
 

Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 

I love you all, thank you so much for all that you do for me. I know that each of you will be blessed in all of your righteous endeavors as you continue to put the Lord first in all that you do! Make sure that you have a wonderful week :)

 

Love Sister Milar
