He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. - John 21:17

Almost Mama Day!

Yep a call home this coming week, what an amazing opportunity! 
So this week was great! Albert and Rebbecca are doing super good! I love them to death they are sooo great! This last week for a little bit they kept cancelling on us. Turns out their friends had been hating soooo hard and telling them falsehoods about the gospel. When we finally sat down with them again they just uhnloaded the truth and boy was it good to hear all their concerns and help them out. We explained how when you are on the right path if you stay faithful and keep the commandments the Lord will give you the strength and bless you like crazy, but on the other hand right now Satan is going to be trying super hard to get you to stop! Especially them. So that same night their friends (and the godparents of a child of theirs) called and said they couldn't be their friends since they are "Mormon" now. Well that backfired they got all fired up and called us and told us the whole story! Albert in the background the whole time kept yelling "It's because it's the true church of God! I'm fired up! I'm going to read a chapter, no Ima read the whole thing! I'm fired up!" Man do I love them to death! They have showed so much faith and love and dedication to the Lord. They want to be baptized on the 21st!!! 
Another cool thing happened this week! We had no money last p-day but the Lord provided! Normally we don't get fed a whole ton (not complaining or saying the members aren't great because they are amazing!) but this week we had like no food! This week we had investigators feeding us, random people on the streets, members calling and saying they had a box of food for us, and new converts delivering fast food to our doorstep at night!! God promises us when we seek first to build the kingdom of God, He will provide! Not just food but people who want to listen, people who will let us serve them, and much much more! "consider the lilies" 
Also this week I had this great connection come to me. In the mission when letters from family or friends come to me and they are especially dear or come to me in a moment when I most needed to hear what they had to say, which a many a time they have, I save them. Well with the scriptures we have the same thing. The God, our loving perfect Father, has saved letters He has written to us for us to read in times of need and in times of plenty. They are there for us to speak with Him in prayer and scripture study. I am so grateful for this amazing gift. For all that have labored and even died to bring forth the scriptures to us today! We are never cut off and we are never alone. We always have a way to feel heavens presence. 
I love you all and hope you have as bomb a week as I have had!
