Anyway.... this week was such a good week! We are up here in Denton for the day so this will be rather short but a lot of you go another email sooo... no regrets.
This week was different than the other weeks. We had exchanges. I stayed here in good ol' Decatur. Sister K headed up to westherford. It was fun because I was able to see my MTC companion. It's crazy to think that she is an STL now but we all knew it was coming:) we had a good time and lots of miracles happened. We taught a lesson with betty and LeDonna. The night before I was thinkin about them and everything that they are going through. They have a lot of trial and heart ache right now. I wanted to help them with words of comfort but I didn't know what to say. I said a prayer earlier in the day during personal study for help. Nothing too tremendous happened. Then, later I was explaining to sister Dotson (the STL with me) her situation. I kid you not, mid sentence the spirit silenced me. A direct thought entered my head with the name of a talk from 1986. I looked up the talk, and read.
Immediately I knew what she needed. The following morning we had our lessons nd we were able to read excerpts of the talk with her. The spirit was so strong. She began to cry and we were able to testify of the amazing power of the atonement and the peace that comes from it. It was one of the most powerful moments I have yet to experience. Isn't the spirit great?:)
If any of y'all have time, check out the talk peace-a triumph of principles by Marvin J. Ashton. It's a keeper.
As y'all heard in the first email, we are having a blast here in Decatur. We love the work. The ward is improving and it's good . I looooooove being a missionary. It's a spiritual high all of the time so it's fantastic.
Love yall:)
