A truly wonderful week

How the Lord truly loves his people! We had a wonderful week! This area is not quit as busy as Twin Falls was. We are in the process of building it up and it has alot of potential. We got 3 new investigators in the last week and one through tracting. It was so awesome.

Easter was great but was kinda a normal day except for the fact that it was very thought provoking. The Saviours sacrifice was such an amazing thing for each of us. He truly cars for and knows each one of us.
We had a late lunch/ dinner at some ones house and then we went out and worked. We had an appointment with this great family who always have wonderful questions.

So last week on Friday or Wed or thursday we decided to go tracting and we had the most wonderful experience. We had pulled into the church parking lot and prayed and cause I was new to the area sister Westover asked me to ponder the map. I wrote on a peice of paper, 8 streets that stood out to me, then I handed the list to her. Then a street popped into my head. I was just like... hmmm. I asked for the paper back and wrote it down.. 2nd street. Then we both made smaller lists of three streets from this smaller list that stood out to us(this is the process for tracting). We compared our list and we had both written 2nd street and then sister Westover said... this is weird but we only just tracted this street not long ago but no one was home.. weird but we went.
We tracted the street and alot of people were home and really nice but they didnt want to make an app with us.... untill we came to the last house on the street. A young lady answered the door and was just like, yes I would really like to learn from you. We set a time to come back and that was for yesterday.
The appointment went so well and she is truly searching for a church and the truth. This lesson went the smoothest ever.. it was very mtc but the Spirit was truly there. We are going back tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes!
Me and Sister Westover really discussed how this all happened and just how our faith was involved, the Lords timing and truly his love for his people that he would send us back there! He really does work in marvelous and misterious ways.

Yesterday was an amazing day. They normally have hardly any appointments on Monday and yesterday we taught 5!! I have faith in Mondays! I was feeling really burnt out last week but it just shows that if you keep persisting even when you are tired and fall asleep during church lol the Lord will bless you! We just kept going, kept working and yesterday made it all worth it. I am excited to tract more now and I am jsut so happy that even in such a small town the Lord is preparing people.

We always offer to serve where ever we go and I think we will have 2 opportunities to do this coming up so I am excited! To pick asparagus and paint! Should be fun
