This is week was sooo cool! God really is a God of miracles! I'm serious. I say it a lot, but if you look for the miracles in your life, you will see that they are there and they are SWEET! He just loves us a lot I think. I mean, I know. He does. I can promise you that.
So first we're gonna throw it back to 2010 or somewhere back in my youth. For those of you who don't know my maman, (that's French for momma,) first of all, shame on you because she's the best lady I know or will ever know, and secondly, if you are blessed enough to have her chocolate chip cookies, you now know that they are the best in the whole wide world. So way back when I was a young squirt my maman told me to memorize her recipe. So guess who memorized the recipe? Me, that's who. And guess who's blessed alll these years later? Me, that's who! And GUESS who had the brilliant idea of making these cookies? Wow I'm so proud! You're right, it was me, and yes it was a fantastic idea. Thank you. So my poor companion and I went to the store last Monday and got supplies for these little bites of heaven. We didn't actually make them until Friday but I was certainly hyping them up all week and praying that they would actually turn out. Friday comes and we wake up. It was quite possibly the quickest I've gotten out of bed in my life. Which means it was a normal sedate pace, but it was quick in my heart because I was uber excited to make these cookies. Lo and behold, after I began mixing and adding ingredients we had just the right amount of eggs left in the carton, and I remembered how much baking soda (2 teaspoons) so blessings from God. And everyone is obsessed with them now, so not only was I spreading the message of the gospel but the worlds best cookies. Win win, I think.
This week we've met so many awesome and elect people. My mission President said we should find an elect a day and k was like cool but how do we do that because sometimes we go all day without a single person opening the door or getting the door slammed in our face. But once again we see that the Lord provides for His children. Exhibit A: it was nearly time to go home and we had been knocking doors all day. All day folks! We skipped lunch because we felt good about a certain area and a few people and no one was home and no one answered. We hadn't shared a single message all day and I was anxious. Finally we say okay. Less than an hour left, let's go home and tract around our apartment. So I feel super good about this ladies house and we pull up and knock and a man answers the door and literally says "Nope." And closes the door. First of all, ouch. Secondly, what are we supposed to do now? So we walk and call out to people and knock and nope no nobody. Then we get to this lady and her granddaughter on a porch swing. We strike up a conversation and a half hour later we hand the little girl a Book of Mormon and we're setting a return appointment. And that happens all the time! Last night we were running out of time and patience with the people in a certain neighborhood. I literally heard someone yell through the door "No one is home. Go away!" So we said a quick prayer and went to the bathroom at a Circle K. We had met one of the guys who works there before and he was working there again. One conversation and Book of Mormon later we have an appointment with him!
Life is just so good. Honestly guys we are so blessed! There is no reason for us to not smile! Find something happy and positive each day to just make you smile and carry you through. I promise God can help you up in all of your problems. He wants you to be happy! I love you all so very much and I'm grateful for you all the more everyday!
Onwards and Upwards!
Love, Sister Morrison
