Sept. 22

Well, I emailed just a few days ago! So you would think that not much has happened, but so much has! We had a miracle day on Saturday where we found SIX new investigators! They are all so amazing and really interested. The Lord truly is hastening his work. 
Our investigators Aiden and Dagon accepted baptismal dates for October 25th! 
We had an incredible experience with a woman named Darcy. We were trying to contact a potential. She wasn't home. As we walked away, I felt we  needed to go to a house across the street. A woman named Darcy was in the garage. We taught her the entire first lesson of the restoration. As we did so, I felt the spirit so powerfully. We both were crying. I invited her to be baptized and she said if she knew the book of mormon was the word of god, she would love to be baptized by the right priesthood. She is amazing! We are seeing her again Wednesday. She is prepared and so kind! I couldn't stop thinking about how much I love that woman already! She is an empty nester in her 50s with 3 grown kids! 
Miley, Aiden, and Dagon also came to church and they loved it! It was so magical! I love this work and I love the Lord.
I got to go with Sister Stoeltzing and Sister Miner on an exchange to the Spanish area! I got to speak in Spanish! It was so much fun to have it all come back to me. They are hilarious!
I have been learning so much more about the miracle of repentance and forgiveness. I had to make some tough choices last week and I was really hurt by someone's actions. I don't hold it against them and I am learning that I can still love them while learning to trust them again. If I don't forgive them, I am denying them and myself the blessings of  the Atonement. 
Sister Lara and I are really trying to give our all. It's been incredible to see the miracles every day, especially when we push ourselves to endure. 
I hope you all have a great week! 


Also on exchanges we ate Cornflake chocolate sister miner's mom sent her from sweden!
