Hello Everyone!
Greetings from the-trees-are-beginning-to-change-color-and-I-couldn't-be-more-giddy-Colorado!
Man, this world is beautiful! 'nuff said.
I have had the most amazing week!!! I keep saying that, and I keep wondering how Heavenly Father can just keep making my mission better and better. He is so good.
We had an incredible miracle last week and so I'll share. We were in a haze and we weren't quite sure of where we were needing to be because nothing was working out. We plead with the Lord to help us and to know what we needed to do. I thought of 2 potentials from the area book and sister Elwell thought of a members face. She was like.... that was crazy. We looked up all of their addresses and they were on the SAME STREET! ok ok let's go. So we drive there and as we pulled up to the first house there was an Asian couple walking by. We got out and talked to them. They were soo nice, and actually are pastors for a non-denominational Christian church in Denver. But they were interested in what we do as missionaries and she said "are you missionaries of Jesus Christ?"... she was very right about that. She wanted us to come teach her and so we were on top of the moon happy! We both felt like this could potentially turn in to the biggest miracle of our missions so far. Like in church history, Wilford Woodruff converted a pastor and THE WHOLE CONGREGATION WAS CONVERTED TOO! So, I have faith that the Lord could work an incredible miracle today too.
Anyways, we go and teach Alice, she was AMAZING! She loved the visit and wants us to come multiple times in a week. She also said that she has 11 Chinese foreign exchange students living with her and she wanted us to teach them all!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT??????? So... we did a few days later. They all came running down the stairs when we arrived and we sat around the table teaching them all. It was insane. And wonderful.
I don't know why Heavenly Father has blessed me so greatly on my mission but I just feel overwhelmingly grateful. God is so good. Words can't even describe!!! Please pray for me and Sister Elwell to be able to accomplish what God needs us to accomplish! I so need your prayers! Thank you!!
I am so happy. Seriously, my soul just feels on the verge of exploding sometimes. It sounds crazy, but it is true. Anything we invest to serve the Lord will absolutely come back to us and fill our souls. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
The best part about this, is that these blessings aren't just reserved for those of us with a name tag on. Last night I went to a cottage meeting in the Bishop's home with 8 families that had taken "member finding lessons" from us missionaries where they learned how to find people to teach by just being a good friend and neighbor and how to talk to people about the gospel. Every single family had had a miracle experience and had felt their family grow stronger from engaging in this work. Amazing.
My invitation to all of you is to pray to see miracles in your life. In my letters in the following weeks, I'm going to share with you what we are sharing with the members here and inviting you to do the same things. I know if you have a desire to share the gospel and if you try to do these things, you will see absolute miracles! Stay tuned!!!
I love you all so much! I want you to feel this same joy that I feel. I pray for you!
Onward Christian Soldiers!
From me to you, Sister Kinzie lou
