The Two Little Rings

Watching my brother Tate open his mission call <3

Well friends, this week a Muslim man said to me, "Why are you so skinny? Does Jesus not provide for you?" I told an atheist that we had Christ in common, and we accidentally knocked into a monastery, so that should about sum it up. Until next week, xoxo <3 Sis Mod!! lol kidding kidding but we had a way funny week. The things I do because I love Jesus right?? 

The happiest part of my week was Sunday because of my buddy Balal!!! Okay so back story: Right outside of my apartment complex there is an Ethiopian store that me and Sister Atkinson went to on one of our very first pdays together. While we were walking around the shop this little kid comes running around the corner and he's like, "Hey guys! What's up?" So we talked to the lil' guy for a couple of minutes and he said, "Stay right here. I'll be right back!" So we wait for our bud to come back and when he does he's holding two little rings in his hands! He gives us both a little ring and says, "These are so you don't forget about me." Fast forward to this Sunday: We show up at church and the elders come over and say hey, meet our friend Balal! And lo and behold BALAL IS MY FRIEND FROM THE STORE LIKE 4 MONTHS AGO!! He totally remembered me and the elders are teaching him and his family now!!! MIRACLES I TELL YA.

The other happiest part of my week was that I got to watch my little brother Tate open his mission call to DENMARK!!! Two Mods servin' the Lord at the same time, gotta love it. I am so grateful for my mission and the experiences I've had. It really is a life-changing year and a half. I read a scripture that stuck with me this week. D&C 1:23 says, "That the fullness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers." It absolutely blows my mind that God gives the most important task happening on earth (the gathering of scattered Israel) to 18- 19- 20-year-olds, and I am so humbled to be one of those weak and simple servants! My mission president's wife always tells us that a lot of the time we are like the widow giving her mite. We give all that we have to the Lord, it still doesn't seem like enough, but through our Savior Jesus Christ and His grace that mite can become a fortune. Give God your mite this week and He will magnify it! :) Love y'all!!

Love,

Sister Mod
