No one really ever knows how to do intros without being awkward. Hopefully, this suffices.
So a few of my favorite experiences from this week:
Haley, a cute girl that we're teaching, is kinda crazy. She doesn't sit still and doesn't remember what we teach her and we've been slightly at a loss about what to teach. So one night we sent her a children's Bible video and she watched it and loved it! So we asked if we could say a nighttime prayer with her and she said yes! Now every morning and night we ask her if she's said prayers and if she hasn't, we call her and pray with her! It's so awesome! I can just imagine her 5-10 years down the road saying in church, "And the Sisters just kept calling and talking to me and helping me feel loved. They taught me slowly and soon, after I turned 16, I started coming to church, was baptized, and then I decided to go on a mission just like they did! I'm now happily married in the temple to a worthy Priesthood holder." I know the Lord is proud of her and the progress she has made so far. I love that little girl!
Next up is our dear friend Nancy! She said that she's adopting us as her kids and she loves us! We've been meeting with her pretty regularly! She hasn't been to church in decades. As soon as we started seeing her, she started coming! Pretty funny how sometimes all people need is a little love!
We enjoyed a massive dinner pre-Super Bowl! It was a little odd to be out while everyone was inside watching the game, but we were able to see some tender mercies. A few people who were open and willing to have us over, and we weren't even supposed to go to the area we were in!
We've been talking to this lady, Kandi, who is completely against Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, but we went to go see her and she was so grateful to have us over! She was struggling and she told us that our visit really uplifted her and gave her courage for the tasks ahead of her. I seriously love being a servant of the Lord. I'm not here to convert people. I'm here to help them come closer to Jesus Christ and see the hand of Heavenly Father in their life and my oh my, do I see it! He's working so hard for you. So very hard to make sure your life is everything you need and deserve. He is so tender and loving!
There have been quite a few cool miracles this week and I wish I had time to tell you about them, but know that the Lord is aware of you, He is guiding you, and His love never ceases!
Y'all keep being lights! You make the world a better place and each of you has a purpose!
Love, Sister Morrison
Onward and Upward!
