Proud to be an American

To be honest, this week wasn't super eventful, but I did have a proud-to-be-an-American moment. So we were walking around our apartment complex right before it was time to go inside for the night, and I saw this guy that was chillin' on his balcony, so we started talking to him. He said he had served in the military and so we thanked him for his service. He looked off into the distance, a car light shined right on his face like a spotlight and he said, "Don't thank me girls. It's my duty." Sister Atkinson and I were pretty sure we heard a bald eagle screech in the distance and some fireworks go off. A single tear was shed from us both, BUT no worries, that wasn't the only spiritual experience I had this week, lol. 

We had zone conference which was SO awesome! We have the best mission presidency in the world. Don't fight me on that, it's literally a fact. They are the best! One thing that President Caplin said really stuck out to me. He said, "There is great power in prayer. Specific requests produce specific results." Sister Atkinson and I have been praying specifically to find a family to teach for a while now and this week Heavenly Father led us to one!! We were out helping people scrape the ice off of their cars (because people were literally using dustpans from their brooms. Lol, silly Virginia) and we started helping this sweet lady from Venezuela. She told us that she actually lives in our same building and invited us to come and talk to her family! We had our first lesson with them this week and it went awesome. We also prayed that it'd be warmer so that people wouldn't hate us and now the forecast says it's gonna be 70 tomorrow, SOO prayers are answered. The church is true, haha. :)) Speaking of weather (heh) our Heavenly Father is raining down blessings on us and sometimes because of the choices we make we put an umbrella over ourselves, but as we pray with faith it takes down that umbrella and we are able to know and feel of His love for us. Try to put that umbrella down this week. :) love you all!! 

Love,

Sister Mod
