Week 5 in Stafford

Hello friends and family!!
How are you all doing? We had some MIRACLES this week!!! First and foremost.... So it all started 10 years ago... A woman named Irene met with missionaries and really believed and liked what they said and actually wanted to be baptised. But, before she did, she got nervous and didn't really understand how she was going to be baptised. She lost contact with missionaries and wasn t baptised. Around a month ago, elders were talking to people along the streets of Stafford and met Irene. She said she would love to meet with us and come to church again. They got her phone number and gace bit to us. We texted and called her a couple of times but there was no answer. Just this week, we called the number and HALLELUJAH!!! The phone answered. She said her phone wasn t acting properly but she would like us to come to her home the next day. So we did! She immediately brought up why she wasn't baptised and said she would love to come to church again. She said she definitely believed Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ and that the Book of Mormon was true. We addressed the reasons why she wasnt baptised and she accepted it immediately. She said the reason why she wants to come back so bad is that she really wants her family who has passed to be baptised and she knows our church is the way they can love with her forever❤ She is the SWEETEST woman and we are so excited to teach her. 

Sister Ryser and I gave a talk in sacrament meeting this week! I gave mine on testimonies and Sister Ryser gave hers on charity. I talked about how a testiminy is so powerful because it is born of the spirit. A witness of the spirit is more meaningful than any evidence you can ever receive because it is so personal. The stake patriarch also spoke after the both of us and he talked some more on both of nour talks. He said that when you feel the spirit, it is so short. He talked of a time where he looked his wife before they were married and he felt that this woman was for him. He also was told that He needed to take care of her. He said that he physically felt the Spirit for maybe 10 seconds but he has remembered decades after. I think that is so true. The times we feel the spirit are so short. But,The effects last for a lifetime.
