I went on exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders and did a senior photoshoot with my friends Kaylee&Mya. After, I saw 2 guys and their truck on an island in the middle of the Matenuska river. Not knowing how they drove onto the island, I yelled out to the shore, "Hey! What are you doing?!". "gettin' skippin' rocks. Why's it matter?", he answered. I noticed he had a huge Oklahoma tattoo on his left arm, with a star in the center. "Home", I thought! I yelled out, "Are you from Oklahoma?". His answer, "Are you missionaries or sum? I'll let you talk to me if you can skip a rock farther than me". He drove his truck through the river to the bank which resulted in his truck braking down. He introduced himself as Willie and told us to use all of his skipping rocks that he had just collected, while he fixed the truck. We talked with him about his faith in God. He explained to us that he is a 28 year old father of 5 kids. His wife was murdered a couple years back and doesn't know if God exists. We prayed for a miracle with him for God to fix his truck. We said goodbye and as soon as we were out of sight, we heard the truck start. We stopped dead in our tracks with our jaws dropped, staring at one another. A miracle! Willie sped by, sending a wall cloud of dust towards us. I yelled out, "NOW THATS A MIRACLE. GOD LIVES".
It was a pretty spirit led week. Prayers work mighty miracles and mighty change.
I prayed that one person would say, "hi" to us while we were street contacting. And guess what! At the second house, a kid said the magic word! I tossed a football back and forth with him and his dad while having a gospel conversation. THEN, we walked more houses down and another little boy said, "Hi". We asked him what he was up to & he said in the cutest 6 year old voice, "you can come help me if you want!". We helped him pick sugar snap peas which we collected in his firefighter hat. He ran inside and told his mom that he invited friends to help him. His mom saw us and instantly said, "do you babysit?!". HAHA I wish!! She, Kristen &Cole(son) had some deep questions about where we came from and where we go after this life. It was a sweet moment. The third house, AGAIN! The kids outside said, "hello!". We shared with them a message, a Book of Mormon, and our number. Kids these days! Not sure if I should be alarmed that they don't know the whole, 'stranger danger' situation. But I am thankful that God answered my prayer x3!
I made a Friday potluck with our neighboring apartment friends. We had tacos! I made the taco meat and didn't tell anyone it was caribou because Sister BB was horrified of eating caribou lol. #score
Choose JOY,
