Begining of May

This weekend was Stake Conference for us and that was amazing. We have a new stake presidency. Elder Ragsdale and I translated the talks for the two General Authorities that came to visit! :) What a challenge that was! They used big words!! ;) Haha..

 I received another confirmation of my testimony that our Heavenly Father truly prepares people. It amazes me how much He is involved. Elder Ragsdale and I were walking down the street the other day and as we were we passed by a family unloading some things out of their van. We walked passed them...the Spirit tugged at me, I looked at Elder Ragsdale and we both looked at each other the same time and we said, "We need to go back." We did and met a family. Turns out they're members and they invited us to come back last night. Turns out they are going through some CRAZY things...they want to come back to church but a lot of feelings of regret and guilt are impeding them from going. We had a powerful lesson with them last night. The Spirit was so strong. Elder Ragsdale and I both knew that God placed us in their lives to help them right now. Amazing isn't it? They felt the Spirit and said, "You know, maybe god placed you here so that you can help us go back to church." I know He did.

 I want you to know that I know that God lives. I know He helps us through our trials, through our weaknesses and is ever ready to assist us as we draw closer to Him. I know the Scriptures are true. I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ along with His church have been restored to the earth. We live in marvelous times. I know that Heavenly Father knows and loves all of us. He has a marvelous plan of happiness for us. I love the feeling of growth that I feel as I study it and understand it more.
