This week has been crazy. Again we have seen so many miracles!....and a few challenges.
We have made it a big point to pray for families to teach and this
week our prayers were answered. We found 2 families to teach which
resulted in 5 new investigators. God has truly been pouring out His
blessings on us.
Tuesday
as we were trying to find some former investigators and one of the
addresses on the record didn't even exist so we decided to knock on some
doors that were where the house should have been, and that is where we
met Casey and Morgan. They are awesome!! They immediately let us in
and we talked to them about what we believe. Casey, the mom, teaches Sunday
school at the little community church in Brownville and she was looking
for suggestions on what to teach so she asked if we could maybe come
one weeknight and have a Q&A session with the youth there. Then her
daughter chipped in and said "Why don't we go and do a fieldtrip up to
their church some Sunday, we have two vans." Her mom thought that was a great idea. We were just blown away! It was so neat!
Wednesday
was quite the day. We were just getting ready to head out after lunch
and I put some things in the trunk....after I closed the trunk and went
to grab the keys from my coat I realized that the keys were not in my
coat....or in my bag....or anywhere else. They were in the trunk.
Oops!
Of course the first thing Sister Burton and I did was pray. We
had SO much faith and we were just praying so hard that God would
somehow open the trunk. Well....sometimes God doesn't work that way.
Sometimes He has a better way to answer our prayers. I felt super bad
that I had locked the keys in the trunk so we began calling just about
everyone we could to see what to do. We decided to walk down to the
library to do our mormon.org
time and while we were there it started to snow....a lot! We walked to
a members home who was nearby and they just saved the day. Sister
Sneed called the police station and they said that they'd come right up
and unlock it. The Sneeds drove us back to our apartment and the Chief
of Police came and unlocked our door. by that time the snow had gotten
pretty bad so we didn't dare drive anyways, but at least we had the
keys! Now we have an opportunity to take some cookies to the police
station and hopefully we'll make some great friends ha ha ha.
Thursday
we were planning on having interviews with President Stoker, but we
were in a winter wonderland so that didn't happen. Our cars were
grounded so we ended up walking everywhere that day. It was quite
eventful.
Saturday
we had our first meeting with Lorna and her two grandsons. It was
great. We are starting at square one with them and it was quite a neat
experience seeing these kids pray for the first time.
Sunday
during Branch Council we had quite the great time. Our Branch
President has quite the New Englander accent and we got quite the kick
out of it. Agendar, commar, arear, the whole deal! Oh man we were
dying laughing. He got quite the kick out of it too. I am just loving
this branch. Oh one more neat thing that happened on Sunday.
Well it wasn't super neat during the moment but it ended up being
great. We were just about ready to go and the two people we had set
appointments with called....at the exact same time and cancelled on us!
We were so bummed. We then knew that God had someone else in mind that
we needed to see. We just had to figure out who. We went stopped by
potentials and formers and less actives and then as we were nearly done
for the night we remembered our neighbors who just moved in. We had
left some cookies and a Book of Mormon on their porch and so we thought
we'd stop by and follow up on it. They were home and we got to meet two
awesome people, Molly and Jeb. They were super appreciative of the
cookies and we became good friends! God never lets us down.
Well that's about all the happy happenings for this week!
I love you all and hope you have an incredible week!
Peace and Blessings
Sister Dixon
