WEEK 12: Dreams and Miracles come true when we exercise faith in God to pray.

HELLO EVERYONE! Wow i have felt the love today as I got on my email.   I love you all so much and thank you for writing me and encouraging me.  We missionaries all need it.  

This week has been crazy! First things first.. The fun, then the Spiritual and then maybe some other things I'll share. 

We went to the Aquarium this week and that was such a blast, we went with Brother and Sister Kelso, the couple we live with.  Sister Snyder and I were like little kids and I'll send pictures next week of that fun adventure.  

Here's one for now.

We had Zone Conference.. I am always so spiritually exhausted and after these because I receive so much and i don't know where to start.,:) its a good spiritual experience don't get me wrong. We talked a lot about focusing on others and putting the Savior first. Sometimes we are hard on ourselves and don't think we are doing enough. At the end of the day I pray and ask the Lord if i gave it all I've got that day.. no matter if all of out apts cancelled or we had a full day and found new investigators. The lord always knows the desires of our hearts. We are not perfect and we are not expected to be.. perfection is pending and will take a lifetime to become, its important to have that desire and work towards it daily though.
 

I had a really cool experience in a dream.  In this dream was a house.. a house I pass every day here in Nixa. In this dream I was told to go visit this house and the voice was very clear. I keep having dreams of houses or people we need to go see or visit and a lot of the time I don't know who they are but Sister Snyder probably thinks I'm crazy.  We are going to this house tomorrow and I'll update you all next week as to what happens. I'm excited but also we will see what this dream meant as I follow the promptings I've received because of this dream .

K is a less active member, she is one of the people I've gotten close to here. We had plans go to visit another family last night and were on our way to go visit someone other then K and her family. As I was driving i got  a prompting we needed to go visit her.. so I asked Sister Snyder if that was okay, we went and knocked on her door.  She had been crying and the first thing she said was God definitely heard my prayers because I was praying to have you come visit.  She didn't want to inconvenience us so she didn't text us.. instead she prayed and her prayer was answered. AWESOME!! We sat and talked with her for an hour and a half, she had told us some of the things she had been going through.. we shared Alma 37;37 with her and that scripture is about counseling with the Lord and prayer.

Everyone, Keep that daily communication open with God.  I know that miracles have happened and will happen through prayer.  I've seen it change my life as I've prayed multiple times a day. I am so grateful for that relationship with the spirit because with out it I wouldn't be having these experiences that not only build my faith but also the lives we are touching here. Pray always and seek guidance. I wish I would have prayed more often back home. It makes your day different.  You find answers to your questions, whether it be 2 weeks, 2 months, the time is not the important part, its the exercising of your faith that you;re demonstrating.  I can promise you that as you search with faith and be patient for those answers, your questions will be answered and you will see the Miracles every day.

This Church is true, the Book of Mormon is true and i know that everything the prophet and his apostles are saying is revelation given to them from God. 

Have a great week and Know that I love you!!!!
