Week 67 Little Miracle add up!

I heard this joke in honor of last week.

What do you call 3.14% of all sailors?

Twinner shirts!

Highlight here--->Pi-rates. :) Get it? Hahaha... :)

So I had a insight while reading the scriptures the other day in Spanish. It's also connected to something I learned in Zone Conference. So in the most recent Zone Conference, President Clayton told us about 19 Evidences of the Book of Mormon. He prefaced it by explaining that obviously the only way to know that the Book of Mormon is true is by reading it and praying about it and receiving spiritual confirmation by the Spirit. There are also textual evidences of it too. (There's actually a book called Mormon's Codex or something that has over 400 of them. I want to read that book!!) 

So there's something called a Similie Oath, which they used back in those times, which just means that you make an oath and if you break the oath, then whatever you did to seal the oath will be done to you. For example, Moroni and the Title of Liberty. All the people rent (meaning they tore) their garments and covenanted that if they broke their oath then they'd be rent like their garments. Anyway. So I was reading El Libro De Mormon, and I read a part that talked about how Lehi offered up burnt sacrifices. So I remembered that the Jews of course did that as part of the Law of Moses. In El Libro de Mormon they call them sacrificios y holocaustos. So...when they rejected Jesus Christ, they broke their oath/covenant with God... that similie oath was fulfilled. Tragic.

So excited. We finally met this lady again, one we had been trying to see since the beginning of February. Turns out she's going to move soon, but she's going to let us help! And since she's moving to Temecula, we're going to get in contact with the ward up there and they'll help her out! :D SUPER SWEET!

We lost another Senior couple this week. But the good news is that means we get a new couple, so new friends! Yay! :)

This week I would have to say our biggest miracle is X. She has a lesson with her and we just made it as simple as possible. We just taught about prophets. We discussed several prophets and what they did and why it was important. and then testified about a prophet today. THEN. On Sunday she came to church AGAIN!!! :D AND she stayed for the gospel principles! AND what was the topic? PROPHETS. :) So all the people were testifying and she was asking all sorts of good questions and it was awesome. :) SO COOL.

Also on Saturday we had a pretty awesome night in the Battalion. I took two Spanish tours. I haven't take one in a very long time, so that was good. On one of them, when I was doing the wrap-up speech at the end, I said something different that I've never said before, and it was pretty cool, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually me. But it was super cool. Something about how every day we have the choice to choose whether we let our fears hold us back or if we follow our faith to where God wants us to be. :) Woo!

Yesterday we had some sweet miracles too. We had a lesson with these two guys from the navy that were just sitting in their car. It was super sweet. That night, it was like 8:30, and it takes 15 minutes to get home, so my comp asked if we should go, but I felt like we needed to stop by this member's house. So we went and knocked, but no one came, and someone walked past that Sister Amendola recognized, so we followed him and talked to him and he was this guy we had been trying to visit for a long time, so that was super sweet! Then we were walking past the member's house again so we tried knocking again, and were about to leave when the member's daughter opened the door. She used to be inactive but is recently coming back. She told us that her family was having FHE at someone's house but she got off work too late to go, and told us that our visiting her was perfect, and just want she needed, because she was feeling lonely and sad, and was super grateful for it. I was so grateful that I listened!! I love being a missionary. It's the best!!!

Love you all!!
