Wow, this has been a crazy week (then again, transfers are always crazy!). Yes, you heard right! Transfers! Sister Johnson got transferred down to Twin Falls (right next to the temple!) and I got Sister Cook! She is so SO awesome. She's from Pennsylvania (woot east coast reppin!), she went to USU (double woot) and she's 25 (woot whaat). She has so many amazing experiences to share, and I know that this area will be changed because of her (it already has!)
One of those miracles that we saw this week was on Friday, our first full day together. At the end of the night, we were driving past these houses and we kept going and Sister Cook said "I think we need to turn around and ask those people back there if we can help them with their weeds." I quick flipped a quick (and safe) U-turn and we went and talked with this woman outside her house. She and Sister Cook related really well with their line of work / interests. She accepted a Book of Mormon and said was could come back!! It was a miracle we even found her (the spirit is so real!!)!
On Saturday we has a lesson with another friend of ours. The miracle in this situation was that we brought a member with us and they fit together perfectly! We'd been bringing this sister out with us constantly and all of the appointments be brought her to fell through (I felt SO BAD every time!!!), and this was the perfect lesson for her to be in. Wow! And, even crazier, we went and visited a returning member after the lesson that and she actually KNOWS our friend (though work) and would like to be involved in the teaching and bring her to church! Double wow! We have been wanting to get this member involved with the work, but it's been really difficult. The Lord knows what He's doing!
I am grateful for the spirit and for His guiding hands in this work. With the push towards acceptance and loving one another (if you haven't watch Elder Soares' video A Friend to All!!), we know that this work is hastening!! May we work on not judging others (including ourselves) and keep up with Heavenly Father's pace!!
Love you all! Have a great week!
Sister Carlson
