Hello y'all!!!

How are y'all doing!? I hope that everyone had an amazing week! Ours was so good!! Miracle week! God is so good! This week could not have happened without Him and His love and grace! 

So Monday night I was praying and I felt like I needed to fast for our area and then I woke up the next morning and completely spaced that and I ate breakfast haha! But that was actually a tender mercy! I'll explain, so Tusday evening comes around and Sister Hurst and I were talking and we realized that we needed to fast, so we did the next day. And when we did that, it seemed like the flood gates of heaven were opened to us and we were just witnessing miracle upon miracle! And from that, sister Hurst's and I grew together in our companionship in unity and that would not have happened if I just fasted by myself. 

So some of the miracles that we were able to witness!! 

So since I have been here in Rigby, it has been very, VERY hard to find new people to teach and in one day we almost found the same amount of people to teach as we have found in 3 months!! Man at the end of that day I was getting ready to cry and was shaking a little bit because of how excited I was haha! 

So one of the people we have begun to teach basically fell from heaven haha! We were teaching his step dad a couple months ago but since then his step son and son has moved back in with him. We decided to see his step dad and then ended up meeting him instead! He has just moved here to Rigby like a week and a half ago! We taught him about the Book of Mormon on the door step and asked him to read it and he said yes! Miracle! 

The next one was a lady that the missionaries have known for awhile and we were going over there to finally ask her if she wants to take the lessons but... She brought up the gospel! She said how when she has gone to the LDS church before how moved she was by the messages and also how inspired she was when she's listened to General Conference! She asked why we needed the Book of Mormon and then we were able to teach her about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! 

The next day, we were teaching this amazing little boy about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and then Sister Hurst invited him to be baptized and he said yes!! She did so well and we are so excited for him!! 

The following day we went on exchanges and I was with Sister Exeter! She is one amazing missionary! She is so bold and so loving! She hasn't even been out for 6 months too! I love going on exchanges because I get to learn so much from other sisters and get new friends! 

Sunday was also a miracle day! Sister Hurst and I were in our 2nd sacrament meeting and then I see a former investigator walk in with a friend! After sacrament and church she came up and found us and talked with us for awhile. She told us that she has missed coming to church and how it helped her be a better person. She opened up to us about how she was feeling and the spirit while we were talking with her was indescribable. I know that her loved ones who have passed on were there with us! We are now able to teach her and help her reach the goals that she has for herself! 

To end such an amazing week, we were able to teach this family about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and invite them to go to the temple and do baptisms for those who have passed on. The spirit was so strong during that lesson and I am so grateful I am able to know this family! They are my family here in Rigby! 

Man missionary work is the best! I am so glad and grateful to be a servent of the Lord! So to explain the title of my email, this week I have been listening to that song by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and it helps me to be in tune with the spirit! I would like you all to listen to it and take time to be holy!! I love you all and hope you have an amazing week! Thank you for all the love and support! God is real and Jesus is the Christ! 

Love, 

Sister Lacey
