Of course I'm kidding but OOO trios are weird it feels like I have to relearn how to do everything.
SO this week... honestly, what a time it has been but I'll start at the beginning! So last Tuesday after we had to get back to work Sister Harry and I had a great experience together that honestly bonded us as a companionship. Sister Harry and I were leaving a meeting and I started to get the insanely horrible feeling that something was very very wrong. It honestly felt like someone had just died or someone house was on fire or something and that there was someone we needed to go see right now. The feeling literally over and my entire body and I was so full of anxiety and it was so incredibly intense that I felt for sure Sister Harry should have been able to feel it so I turned to her and asked several times if she could feel that. She always said she couldn't feel anything but we started to wrack our brains on who we needed to see. We pulled over and prayed several times, we went to several different houses but nothing got rid of that feeling. Finally I was feeling so much anxiety that I couldn't really thing any more so I said, "Sister Harry, Heavenly Father is going to tell you where we need to be." So we sat outside of a house for a few more minutes before driving to another house. After we left that house that feeling left me and Sister Harry said, "I know where we are supposed to go, its Shawna" as soon as that feeling left me it went right into her so we raced over to her house. It ended up that nothing major happened, no crisis, no emergency, but I knew that Sister Harry and I needed that in our companionship to really bond us together. We were really struggling to figure out how to be missionaries together because our teaching styles are so different and then trying to add a third... we were very afraid but after that day we knew we were supposed to be together as a companionship. Heavenly Father was really trying to make it clear that we could work not only as friends, but also as missionaries. It was very needed. WE WERE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER!
The very next day we picked up our new missionary!!! Sister Harry was SO freaked because the anticipation and the unknown was just a lot to handle but after we picked her up I think she felt so much better about the entire thing.
Our new missionary's name is Sister Edward's Van Mujin. She has a weird combo of me and Sister Harry which is both a good thing, and a bad thing. It's almost as if we just adopted another person with our personalities.
This week we saw SO many miracles. Starting with us getting in contact with several less active families and FINALLY getting to see Angie (a recent convert) after weeks if her avoiding us. She was finally home and let us in where we talked with her about why shes been avoiding us and she opened up about a lot of things that have been happening in her life which led her to stop talking with us. And not even a half hour later we met with a family who the missionaries in this area have tried to contact for SO long!! Then on Sunday our main man Roady brought one if his friends to church and we set up a return appointment which means ****epiclly loud drum roll**** WE GOT A NEW PERSON TO TEACH!!!! Now dont get too excited for us because he is YSA age so we will have to pass him off but we specifically fasted for us to get someone new to teach and BAM it was like he fell right into our lap. Ugh MIRACLES my friends MIRACLES.
This week we also started this think called miracle hour where we take one hour each day and dedicate it specifically to finding people and doing what the Lord wants and I know that is what is giving us so many miracles!!
Then came the best miracle of them all, so many of you know that my dad has cancer. He was diagnosed during my junior year in high school and just recently they found more cancer spots in his leg so they've been doing localized treatments for 3 months now. Well about a week ago they did a biopsy hoping to see some of the cells starting to die. They expected to see some death in the small biopsy but when they check it ALL of the cells had died in that biopsy. Now dont get me wrong it's not a miraculous healing, and he still gets shots but it was a miracle enough for me. I saw this week how much my missionary service is starting to bless my family and I know that Heavenly Father is really watching over them. *whoo voice* a miracle is a miracle no matter how small.
I want you all to know how much the Lord loves you! Since I've been out I've been able to feel more purely the love of God for all of His children and it comes to me so clearly that I get overwhelmed with this divine love. If you feel like you need that love in your life please, I beg of you, reach out to your Heavenly Father so He can shower you with the love I know that He has for you!
AND REMEMBER
God is in the details!
