So I bet you are all wonder what is going on with transfers.....
I am staying in Salmon!! It is actually very bitter sweet because I am losing my best friend. Sister Gaston is getting transferred to Arco and I am getting a companion from the MTC!!! I am so excited to meet her! I am a little nervous though but I know that with God's help, all things are possible!
This week was amazing though! We were able to witness so many miracles!
Before I get started with the stuff that matters I want to explain my subject... So something that I learned here in Idaho is that when it snows and then it rains it turns into an ice skating rink everywhere!! Because of that we have been super careful of how we walk and drive but last week it started to snow and snow and snow. Well we ended up wanting to knock on this one house and we parked and we went to get out of the car. Well since snow was covering the ice, we forgot about how slippery it was and we both slipped and Sister Gaston caught herself but I did not.... She said that it looked like I Shamu-ed out of the car. Somehow I think I ended up on my stomach when fell. I know you had to be there but trust me it looked funny and I am happy to say that I am not hurt!
Sister Gaston and I have been trying to rely more on prayer and have it help us to find people who are ready to hear about the gospel. One night we decided to pray and ask Heavenly Father where we need to go and we had a few names pop into our heads. We went to go see this one family who we have been trying to teach, and as we were driving by we did not see any cars there so we decided to keep driving. A few seconds later Sister Gaston said that we should turn around and knock on the door. We did and we found out that someone else lives there and she said that she is willing to have us come back! It was really amazing! Always listen to the quite promptings of the Holy Ghost! Sister Gaston is an awesome example of that!
So on Wednesday we went on exchanges and something really cool happened! When we were doing daily planning, Sister Grosdidier (the sister I was on exchanges with) said that we should go knock on this yellow house at night. We ended up going there and they let us in with ease and we started talking to the husband and he asked, "who sent you here?" and we told him that no one did. Anyways, he is a less-active and we ended up talking with him for about 30 mins. It wasn't until we came home that night that we realized what a miracle it was! So the other Sisters felt like they should ask this one couple for referrals and when they got there the wife, joking around, pointed to her son who was a less-active. The other sisters started talking to him and were saying that they were going to go visit him and his family but they did not get around to it. What is amazing though is that we did!! Her son was the guy we talked to for 30 mins! It just builds my testimony that God is mindful of our day and directs our path!
Sister Gaston had the thought of asking this one member for referrals so we did and she gave us this family. They did not know exactly where they lived but she know that they lived up this one creek. We planned on going up that creek on Saturday and in the middle of the day we decided to go there instead of waiting for when we had originally said. It ended up working out perfectly and we caught the referral at home! And she let us in! She told us that she normally does not let missionaries in but she did this time! We have a return appointment with them and I am so excited!
I am excited but also nervous for this next transfer. I am going to miss Sister Gaston and the light and enthusiasm that she has for life and missionary work! She has been such a blessing to me! I know that God qualifies those He calls though and no matter how inadequate I am, as long as I lean on Him I can do all things. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ! I know that this is Jesus Christ restored gospel on the earth today! I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Lacey
