Week 29

Hola!!!! This week was another great week in the mission! It always is!!!! To start out my letter I want to tell the greatest news in the world!!! Elder Holland Is coming to our mission to speak with us March 18th! I am super excited! he is my absolute favorite apostle! Also transfer news is coming up this weekend already! i FEEL LIKE TIME IS JUST ABSOLUTELY FLYING! This week was crazy busy, i am sooo glad that I am in this area right now! I absolutely love this ward! i have learned so much from each individual member, and they are so good at loving and taking care of the missionaries! This week was awesome we saw amazing miracles, we had a baby shower for Summer this week, and I got to color Sister Herrings hair on our exchanges and sister Brysons!!!  An amazing miracle that happened this week was on Thursday! We were on our way back from District Meeting and my companion was just having a hard day like we all have on our missions! So we parked the car and we just talked it out for awhile, trying to come up with ways that could help! And so before we got back to work sh said she needed two things hahah! The first was a Dr. pepper! (my kind of comp) and the second was to sit outside and to pray! So she told me that she had prayed to heavenly Father that he would just show his love that day and that he would have someone show her that they cared! And then right after we went over to the gas station to get Dr peppers, And as she was paying for them! Someone slipped their card on the counter and offered to pay! They said that they were members from Vernal Utah and that they knew how hard it was to be a missionary at times and that they just wanted to help! We were amazed, we both walked out of that gas station in tears! I know that strengthened my testimony soo much on prayer! i can not tell you how many times on my mission, I have seen tender mercies! i know that was an amazing tender mercy and something that we both needed! I love my companion and I am soo thankful that god is looking out for us! i know we couldn't do this work without him! My favorite part of the week was Sunday! After 3 months in Steamboat, we finally had a solid investigator come to church! I am sooo blessed to be able to see some success! His name is jimmy and he is awesome! It was also Testimony meeting and the testimonies were so amazing that I knew that he could feel the spirit! All of church and what we learned was based around finding Joy in the journey and through trials! My favorite lesson was in Relief Society, They taught about happiness through hard times! Something that I loved that she said is that happiness is a choice! I know that as each day of my mission I choose to be happy and look for the tender mercies that I will be blessed! I know that no matter where I am that God will meet me where i am! I feel his love every single day! And I love this work! I can not tell you how amazing it is to go out every day and know that I am doing the lords work! I am thankful for this area! I have learned sooo much here!!! AND I hope to be able to keep learning everyday! I know that the lord is all around us! There is a scripture in job 23:10 that says "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold! I love the savior and I love this mission! I am soo excited to keep on learning and keep on changing each week! Los quiero mucho! Thank you for everything I could not ask for a better family! I know that as we do what Sam said an we CONVERT to the gospel and not just CONFORM, that that is when we will have the most happiness!
