New Things and Not So New Things :)

Things that are new with me this week:
1. I ate a clove (are you supposed to do that? sos) 
2. I caught a frog with my fingers and held it like it was a piece of sushi 
3. Sister Withers and I are staying together for another transfer!! 
4. And we started teaching two new families!!!! One from Vietnam and the other from India {wahoooo!!}. Updates to come. 

Things that are not new with me this week:
1. A miracle happened hehe.
We decided one day to go finding in an area that we hadn't been to very much, and in the first couple of minutes that we were there we saw a lady walking her dog. We stopped and talked to her and she shared how she thinks that we can't know all that God knows because we just can't comprehend it. We had just memorized a scripture from the Book of Mormon and felt that we should share it with her. It was Mosiah 4:9. She specifically asked, "Only verse 9?" and we said yep so she read it and it says:

 "Believe in God; believe that He is, and that He created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that He has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend." 

Without hesitating she continued on to verse 10 saying,

Sister WIthers & Sister Mod with the cute mission nurse
"And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them."

After she read that she thought about it for a second and started telling us how she's always had a hard time believing that she could be forgiven of her sins. We had no idea what verse 10 said until she read it but God knew exactly what she needed to hear and He worked through us as His instruments to share that message with her. SO COOL. :))

Love,
Sister Mod
