Week 53 - Trials, Flat Tires & Miracles

HELLO from Pawhuska!!

We met some super awesome people this week! We have been struggling to get the people we are teaching to church, so that is our goal this transfer. Church is so vital, and important to gain a testimony of the Gospel. It's part of CPR! The coolest analogy ever! Church, Pray, Read. Each one is essential to strengthen your testimony, and keep holding fast to the iron rod (Word of the Lord).  

We ran into a couple the other day, Rex and Linda. It was pretty funny cause we started talking to Rex and he clearly had met missionaries before cause he said "hey I'll go tell my wife you're here!" UH SWEET! 
So we went to sit on their porch and when she came out and the conversation went something like this, "sorry we are not interested. Have a nice day" rex said "wait a minute these are the Mormons!" 
"Oh the Mormons?! I thought you were watch tower!" ðŸ˜… you should've seen our faces, We were so confused! 
We found out she is a member but hasn't been to church in a long time. They just moved here and didn't know there was a church in town. We are so excited to see them there next week!! 

We also went to go see a potential we met 3 weeks ago. We invited her to church then, but she never came:( although never give up hope because there is always a reason. She has been taking care of her cousin and hasnt had time. She even bought 2 dresses for church, and said she wants to try and make it this Sunday! We are so excited!!! 

So good things are happening here! Even when there are bad or stressful days there will always be sunshine at the end☀

We had a rough day Sunday and then this morning we went to drive to the track and we were still half asleep so we didn't notice the front flat tire we had as we pulled out! ðŸ™ˆ well the car was slanted and we noticed that so we pulled back in and called some member to help us get the spare from the bottom of the truck. So here is the miracle. We were waiting for the members and up walked a former missionary Sister Jensen! She just went home and came to visit. Sister Sampson got to see her old comp and her family was more than willing to help us change the tire!! This got us to Bartlesville to get a new one. Another miracle is that we weren't driving when it popped! 

Not going to lie. It was the longest day ever, but it's only horrible if you make it horrible😊 

Your Challenge this week is to turn that frown upsideown and make something negative that might happen this week into something positive. Remember to count the miracles. Also think of all the things you can learn from the bumps in the road. God will only give us trials to make us stronger:) 

I hope y'all have such a great week!!! 

Love you all!!
