It's been a long week this week, but a great one. To start it off, we had zone conference. Our zone only has about 25 - 30 people so it was a pretty small group, but the meeting was amazing and had many things that I needed to hear. President and Sister Brown are really amazing!
Most of this week was just finding as we only currently have two people we're teaching. The members are amazing and we often are invited over for meals! As a zone we are really trying to push missionary and member work. The best missionary work is through the members! Never be afraid to share the gospel with your friends. Over the past little while I've heard so many stories about amazing members who have been able to share the gospel with their friends and bring that light into their lives.
This week has been a series of small miracles that were just amazing. On Saturday, we were planning on visiting an in active member named Zadwiga. We didn't know her phone number and our GPS couldn't find her address so we picked the area we thought it was and started walking. We found an old lady walking her dog and asked her if she knew the address, she said no but pointed to where we might be able to find it. We went to that area and found a girl named Sarah who was struggling to bring some stuff from her car to her apartment. We asked if we could help and she said yes. While we were carrying things up she asked if we were on our way to visit her mom. We asked her who her mom is and it turned out to be Zadwiga! She pointed out where her mom's apartment building is and we were able to find her mom's apartment! We had a great night and Zadwiga gave us dinner. We met another of her daughters and are planning on going back for a return appointment!
Another happened just today! We went to Linz and went on a boat tour for district P-day (I'll attach photos next week) and did some shopping. We got on the hour long train ride to come back home and after an hour were really wondering where the heck we were. WE WERE AT THE FURTHEST NORTH OF OUR AREA. We quickly got off the train to figure out how to get back home. The first miracle is that there was a train going back home anytime soon, we live in the middle of no where and trains don't come often throughout the day. The second miracle was that we could pay for it. We had exactly enough change to pay for our tickets. I mean exactly enough, no left overs. It was amazing.
That and other miracles like being able to catch trains and finding people to talk to have been happening all week.
We also had an amazing discussion with Andres this week. He is a stud and reminds me of the Book of Mormon characters like Ammon with how strong his faith is.
I hope you guys had an amazing week!! I love and miss you all but am so glad to be out here! When we put the Lord first, he will take care of the rest.
Love,
