This week was one for the books.. As they all are :)
We had Zone Conference, and unfortunately enough, they also had us all get flu shots there. That was pretty awful. That day I also had just started to get a cold- so that also put a slight damper on the speed I'm used to moving. Nevertheless, with God on my side all things are possible!
This week we had two awesome miracles. (Well more than two, but two main and significant ones!)
Nancy, an older lady who wasn't interested in talking to us at all about a month ago, invited us in when she saw us and started asking us questions about the Church. She had been to a temple visitors center before, and remembered how incredible it was seeing Joseph Smiths first vision, and everything else. She was shocked that Mormons do, in fact, believe in Jesus Christ. (Side note; Our church's full name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). She's really amazing though, and we are going back Tuesday to talk with her again! She has had a complete change of heart.
We also ran into an active member, Shayla, who's fiance, Cody, is not a member. We stopped by there late one night and they invited us in and Cody immediately wanted to know more about the church and asked if we could come back again next week! Miracles, I tell you! God prepares different people at different times to be ready to hear His gospel.
We also have another baptism this week! 10 year old Payton is getting baptized, and she is just the sweetest thing ever. More details on that next week :)
Tayllor, who was baptized 2 Saturdays ago, got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple to do baptisms for the dead for the first time this last week, and we got to go with her! It was a wonderful, spiritual experience, but a few funny things also happened:
-The temple President came down to talk to Tayllor, and thought Sister Black and I were her friends and kept talking about how "When we go back home to our mom and dad" and other funny things that don't apply to missionaries. He finally asked me if I ever wanted to go on a mission and I said, "Well, I'm on one right now!" He was blown away. Apparently we look very young for our age!
-When I got into the font to do baptisms, the man baptizing said, "Ah, Sister Crofts! Good to see you again! You're here every Friday, right?" I definitely have never been there before and I had to try really hard to keep from laughing.
Last, but certainly not least... General Conference! I definitely do not have a favorite part, it was all so good. But.. I did get to go to the Saturday afternoon session! We got to ride the Frontrunner up to Salt Lake and it was a fun adventure! I definitely noticed that some of the main points of conference were on serving others, and the Book of Mormon. Our Mission started another 90 day Book of Mormon reading challenge, and I love it so much! The Book of Mormon truly brings me peace and when I read it I feel of my Heavenly Father's love. At Conference, service was also mentioned a lot! I invite all of you who still read my very long emails to find a way to serve more! After all, this life is the time for man to meet God. Let us all follow Jesus Christs perfect example as much as we can!
I love you all!
