| Sister Nalder & I at the San Antonio Temple! |
Well it's been a quick minute since I last wrote y'all haha :) There were a few ups and downs with the miracles that we saw this week, but we keep pushing forward! The biggest thing that is sad for Sister Nalder & I is that Caitlyn is not responding right now. At the beginning of the week, she sent us a text saying "Sisters! I think baptism is the next step for me." And mentioned that she wanted to meet with the bishop but also wanted her parents blessing. We had set up a few lessons with her for this past weekend and were trying to work with the bishop, but then her friend Madeline came up to us at Institute on Wednesday and said that she was worried about Caitlyn cause her parents have been persuading her to not get baptized. Caitlyn later on cancelled our appointments :( Let me just say that Satan is a punk haha. It definitely has been sad for me to see how Satan can easily have power over people, but we just keep having faith that God will provide and make all things right in the end.
But another miracle this week that is still positive! On Saturday we didn't have any plans so we had decided to knock a whole building in an apartment complex, but we did not feel good about it at all. We tried knocking a few doors but it just didn't seem right. Any type of work we thought to do didn't seem good, which was so weird cause we are used to always working. We decided to go to the church and take a quick break and see what the Spirit was telling us. After a while Sister Nalder felt impressed that she needed a blessing, so we called the district leader and coordinated to meet with the elders. So we are on our way out of the church building to go meet the elders, and Victoria (recent convert who just moved into our ward) is like "Sisters, I have a funny story to tell y'all!" Long story short, some new Elders from Corpus Christi where she got baptized a year ago just barely saw her record and wanted to get together to do some family history. But they didn't realize that she moved to San Antonio and we don't think Victoria realized that Corpus is not in our mission haha. So they both met at the church, but then realized that they met at the church building in different cities. So then after she told us the whole story she was like "So since I'm here, can you sisters help me with my family history?" Crazy stuff! We have been trying to contact her several times with no success, but at that moment we knew that God was leading us to the church so that we could finally meet Victoria. And to help her with her family history so she can take a name to the temple!
Speaking of temples, wow the temple was AMAZING! Like the best way to describe it is that the Spirit basically came at me 100 mph. It was crazy haha :) Temples are seriously so special. It is Christ's house, He walks those hallways and I know that it is where we can feel closest to Him and our Heavenly Father.
Love y'all! Have a wonderful week :)
