FAMILY!!!!

Sunday schedule :-0

Hey Y'all!

How are y'all doing?? I hope good!

Sooo... This week has had it's ups and downs but I have learned and grown from both of them so that's good! 

So not last week but the week before at District Council, Elder Woods (one of our Assistants to the President) was there and he shared a scripture about being bold. Then we were asked to read a talked called the "4th Missionary", I realized that I need to be bold as a servant of Christ. So last Monday we were bold with one of our people that we are teaching about the Word of Wisdom. So far she is still struggling with it but she is getting there... hopefully! 

We had Zone Conference this week and I learned that I need to give my WHOLE will to God! Saturday was a hard... hard day but thankfully I have an amazing companion and amazing people in my district! I am not even 100% sure why it was such a hard day, I think that Satan was just working hard on us, you know? Anyways, that night I was able to have a good talk with our Heavenly Father and I think I have officially given my will to God! And I feel AMAZING!! I hope I can hold nothing back from Him because He has given us everything. 

Okay, so funny story! Just to preface this... it is weird to serve around people my age haha!! My comp and I went to the gas station to get gas and some snacks and we just say hi to everyone okay... Anyways these guys were walking in while we were walking out and we said hi and one was all like, "hello there..." all creepy like... Yeah that was awko taco... Haha

So Sister Barreto and I were able to witness some pretty amazing miracles! So Thursday night we were getting ready to go on exchanges and so we went to the usual gas station where we meet at. Anyways, Sister Barretto and I saw that the other sisters were not there and Sister Barreto needed to go to the bathroom so we started to walk inside. Well on the way in there a man said hi to us and asked if we were missionaries and we told him, "Yes!" We then started to talk to him and it ends up that he lives in Rigby and I do not think he is a member of the church. We got his number and we gave it to the Spanish Sisters! They called him and they are meeting with him this week!! So cool right! Oh and what is amazing about this, is apparently the sisters we were going on exchanges with tried to text us that morning and tell us to meet somewhere else but the text didn't go through and I think it is because God needed us to meet him!

So I was able to go on Exchanges with Sister Bergoc and man she is an amazing sister! She is from Brazil and has been in the States for the past couple of years! She is one of the funniest people I have ever meet! I am so glad that I was able to learn from her this week! She has only been out for a few short months but she is a solid missionary!!

Another funny story.. well kinda. I am scared to become a mother! We have been around a few young mothers this week and I have no idea how they do it! I am pretty sure it is easier to wrestle alligators than to take care of 2 little children! But the crazy thing is!! All the mothers seem to be enjoying it!!!!! Good thing that right now, I don't need to worry about it right haha! To all the mothers, Thank You and I have no idea how y'all did it! 

Another miracle was with one of the people we are teaching. He is 8, almost 9 and we taught him a little bit about baptism (his family are not very religious at all and before the sisters started meeting with him he didn't really even know who God was) and the next day he expressed to us the desire that he has to be baptized! He is so cute! We are blessed to teach him!

Sunday was probably one of the most busiest days that I have every had! We had 2 Sacrament meetings, 2 ward councils, taught 2 Relief Society Lessons, had 7 meetings with our bishops and then we had a Stake Training for the YSA that the Stake Presidency invited us to! It was an AMAZING day! I LOVE being busy haha! 

I love y'all so much and I want y'all to know how happy I am! I do not fully understand why God has blessed me so much but I am so grateful for all that He has given me! God is good! I love y'all!

Love,

Sister Lacey
