Week 42-Gherkins and GOOD NEWS
I'm trying to one up my emails so now each fire thing that happened will be after a fire emoji. LETS GET IT. Another week blessed from God!
We were in a marathon?
MATT AND MADELYN
The Stephens family reunion
Sister Hudson and I had the woooonderful opportunity to give a training to the mission this week about taking care of referrals from online ads. It actually was not too bad and it made me really grateful for social media. I haven't always been a huge fan of social media but for people coming closer to Jesus Christ, I'M INNNNNN. It is such a beautiful sight to see the amount of referrals that come through of real people interested in learning about the gospel. There are so many of them out there! We just need to be the one to share the good news with them. Sister Hudson and I really did feel God put words in our mouth the whole training. SIster Hudson said she felt Heaven come out of her mouth. Booya
On Sunday we drove out of our flat complex so excited for church and then to our wonderful surprise there was a huge marathon for all of Manchester right in front of our flat! Awesome! Soooo we walked to church, luckily none of our friends came early. It was actually so nice to walk again.
OKAY. IT IS TIME TO GATHER ISRAEL. GOD IS WORKING. He is flourishing Stretford. Is that the right word? Idk, you get it. Charley and Joseph received the priesthood on Sunday. Now they're armed with Heavenly power YES. But the coolest thing ever is their friend MATT came and guess what. Now Matt wants to be baptized........he is legit awesome.
It gets better. SOOO Maggie just started it all. She is a literal angel sent from God. She is bringing and reuniting EVERYONE back to Christ. Her step dad is getting baptized in June, her cousin Paul, now Matt, and then this week we were at their home and all the sudden her SISTER MADELYN now wants to be baptized tooo!!!! God is so extremely good. I have never felt more lucky to stand here with these people I love so much to just witness their desire. To all of you missionaries out there who may be struggling to feel like there is no one to find, you aren't in an area for a reason, or you have no hope. Please just ignore all of those feelings, they do NOT come from God. I had these feelings for a lot of my mission. But I know with all my whole heart there are millions of souls out there (even if they don't know it) that are ready to come into His fold. So trust in Him!!!
Gherkins are pickles okay. Please someone tell me why they call them that here.
Anyway, kinda long today, excited for my mom and dad to read this. Maybe a few others if I get lucky! But I just LOVE YA ALL okay?? BYE
Also I would just like to annouce that my best friend ever TATE IS GOING TO MEXICOOOOOO
Cheeeeeers
Sister Smith
