Lots has happened this week! I forgot to mention the area I'm in is Anderson which is north west of Columbia! Tiny got baptized and confirmed and gave an INCREDIBLE testimony! His mom wants to come to church now too! Fathers Day was so good and we had 5 friends come to sacrament which talked a lot about God being a father which was perfect for new people! I love the roles that fathers play in raising and teaching their families about our Heavenly Father and thank my own daddo for being such a great one:)
Seeds of Faith
OK so a theme for my personal study this week has been faith and trusting in God! Part of trust means acting on the promptings (or "bings" as my mission president calls it) that we receive from our Father in Heaven. So one day I decided if I get one I am going to ACT. Long story short I got a bing to stop at a random house and we met a lady named Gale who had just been in a car wreck and totaled her car!! A single tear came down her face as she told us and I then got ANOTHER BING to ask her if we can pray for her! She thought that was so sweet and invited us into her home where we talked more and Sister Thompson gave an amazing prayer! She was crying when we all said "amen" and we all gave her hugs and she said she really wants to see us again so we will be teaching her this week!
All y'all should ACT ON BINGS. And then more will certainly follow and you should act on those too! We have no idea what everyone around us is going through but GOD DOES. Be His hands and trust Him to guide you to the people you need to love! Don't just settle for one bing because if we had done that then we wouldn't have been able to pray for Gale and help her find more comfort through her Savior!

*INVITATION*
Take one day this week and pray and go out of your house for nothing but the specific purpose of acting on the spirit or bings that you receive! I promise that God knows all the people that will need you and your heart that day!
Funny
-I ran headfirst into a bookshelf after realizing I had the spiritual thought for a zoom meeting and going into a frenzy to find my phone so I had a big bump on my forehead as I shared my scripture! We all were dying laughing.
-In our first lesson with an older man named Hal he asked if he can still have his milkshakes with the Word of Wisdom (I would be concerned too if I couldn't have milkshakes)!
-I found a little squirt gun at the MTC that we've been attacking each other with. (It's also nice to have for comp studies outside in the humid heat.)
