This week was a super crazy one but it was full of miracles!
I want to share 2 miracles from this week! The first one is about our friend Marcela! So Marcela is the mom of a recent concert from my old area, Ocala! We have had a hard time getting in touch with Marcela because she's living in Columbia. We do what we can, but sometimes it's just hard! We have been working the past 4 months on getting her reference sent to Columbia but for some odd reason it won't send. Our President has sent it directly to Salt Lake to have them handle it and somehow it keeps coming back! We have tried contacting anybody we can in Columbia...but nope:/ so Marcela is our friend back in Ocala but this past week we received her reference here in Largo! Uh WHAT! We got permission from President Hollingsworth to talk to the Hermanas in Ocala to see what happened! They said they tried to send her contact to Columbia but landed in the reference pool here in an English ward. Because our names had been on it, the English sisters passed her back to us...so from Ocala to Largo, Marcela is just following along! Haha! Well we looked at each other and knew there was no coincidence that she landed with us! We prayed so hard and fasted about what to do and to see if we could think of SOMETHING we hadn't tried! We got in touch with our social media specialists and with their help we were able to get involved with a few Facebook pages! A missionary servicing in Columbia reached out and we are FINALLY in contact with the missions over there! We are so excited that Marcela will finally be able to meet with missionaries and continue to grow her testimony!!
Okay miracle number 2! I think this one is one of my all time favorites. So my companion and I arrived here about a week and a half ago and the elders who we share a branch talked to us about the people here! They said they had recently stopped teaching a 9 year old girl named Mia because it got a little hard with video calls and she's got a lot of energy! WELL I looked at my companion and we thought we should have a lesson with her and see how it is! We got creative and thought of a few super interactive lessons that we could do over video call! We were so nervous BUT after our first lesson we just looked at each other and smiled! We had a few of the best lessons we've ever had as missionaries with the sweetest 9 year old girl. She has the sweetest testimony! We love her energy and we love finding new ways to teach her! I've been laughing a lot because if you know me you know I don't have a creative bone in my whole body but yet this week we have been able to come up with crazy fun lessons! This really is Gods work! I couldn't do it if it wasn't!
We went to the zoo again today and had the funnest time!! We went bowling with our district and it was a blast!
My spiritual thought for the week is this:
"His peace is not necessarily political; His peace is personal." -President Nelson
I love this so much! One of the words our prophets used to describe our Heavenly Father us personal. God knows each of our individual needs and desires! In this quote he talks about peace. God loves each of us so much! He loves perfectly. He knows how to comfort us perfectly and individually!!
My challenge for this week is this:
Sometimes days can be hard, but there are always good things that happen even if we have to look really hard! Last week I challenged you all to say gratitude prayers, and this week I want to challenge all of you to write one of the best things that happened everyday!
I love you all oh so much!!
Hermana King :)
