It's been a week of miracles. Many Miracles.

Bee story

So funny story.. I don't know if this will be a funny story to tell, but in my tired state it was hilarious. Haha, but yesterday Sister Solofa and I were singing to a gal named Thalia who has some special needs. While we were singing I felt something under my arm, so I look down and theres this mean wasp sprinting to my throat..... Haha so I jumped up and said, "Oh no!" While staying calm, sister Solofa calmly stands up, and gets out of the way. Anyways to make a long story short I used my phone as a landing pad to lure the nasty wasp away from my body.. then sister Solofa came in clutch and smashed it with the corner of her phone. Then we contained the little guy, quietly sat down and continued to sing. Needless to say that whole situation was handled in silence and on less than 30 seconds and we worked like a fine tuned oiled machine. I count it as a success.

Chalkboards

We have this super fun thing in our mission where we get 10 foot Chalkboards and write prompts on them like,

"What matters most?"

"Miracles I've seen"

"If I could ask God one question.."

"Peace is..."

And we put them in a place with a lot of foot traffic and invite people to come write their opinions. Missionaries are in normal people clothing, don't wear name tags and go by our first names. Ha it's super fun and it's a super successful way to find a lot.of people who are really interested. One of my favorite activities!!

THANKGOODNESS the Lord is repetitive.

One of my favorite moments with the lord was on Wednesday this week. We had the best day and we passed this lady on the street, we said hello, then zoomed past. However, while biking away I was having a major wrestle with the Lord. It went along the lines of..

God- "Go talk to her"

Sister Wiser -"I already did"

God-"Go talk to her"

Sister Wiser -"We did.. she said hello."

"Sister Wiser-"Were going to an appointment, their important to"

God-"They can wait."

Then I thought okay Sister Wiser you asked to be an Instrument in the hands of God... why are you wrestling with him? You KNOW you don't talk to yourself like that. So we speedily turned our bikes around... went over and talked to a lady named Antonia. She is a really sweet and open lady who has a lot of questions about God. She wants to find out for herself who God is. Turns out her mom had a lesson with the elders last week and she had some questions. So she asked us. Anyways I had a humbling experience. I don't know why the Lord is so patient with me and continues to give me spiritual promptings when I truly don't deserve them. We listen to the spirit a lot closer now, and we really try to not ask questions.

Last miracle

My cousin was involved in a terrible accident at work and I got an email that told me the situation, and that he was being life-flighted to the University of Utah for surgery. I immediately fell to my knees and started to pray. As soon as I got up my roommates joined me on prayer and we combined all our faith to bring peace to my cousin and all our family. As soon as we started to pray there was a very peaceful and light feeling that came into the room and I had a very peaceful reassurance that God was in control.

This week there has been a lot of conversation on trials the Lord allows us to endure. I don't fully understand why everything happens but I do fully know with every fiber of my being that the Lord is in control. One of my favorite phrases to favorite song is, "if you're going to pray about it, why are you worrying, and if you're going to worry about it, why are you praying? Leave it in the hands of the Healer and walk away."

That's my motto. Sending prayers your way. Have the best week.
