Week 20: We have a car!

We got a car!

The glories of technology and vehicles! We can travel from one house to another without having to take up time for traveling and walking, and we are visiting so many more houses now, it's great!
Something that I think is cool that has really let me see the Lord's hand in our weeks of walking in the cold, wet snow, however, is that our progress records (which we use to keep track of the people we see and visit with/teach every week) were never any less full when we didn't have a car than they are now.
 
The Lord knew that without a car, the people we made time to walk to- to go and see- would have to be there at the time we went to see them because our time and travel situations were a lot more limited. So, He made it happen. Same with when the temple open house was going on last transfer: We had so much less time to work in our area (with the open house taking up a good half of our week, every week for at least a month), but our progress records were always full. The Lord helps us to accomplish the things He's asked us to do, and He delivers every time. Just trust Him :)

I love to read about the miracles my sister (Sister A. Wilcox) experiences constantly in her mission in NY, NY, as well as the other missionaries in areas all over who try their best and the Lord does the rest. This is His work, and He is at the head guiding it all the way, and seeing glimpses of that eternal truth is a miracle in and of itself.

In our car (pictured below) we've been listening to the bibliography of President Hinckley, and it's cool to see how humble and willing he was to be made an instrument in the Lord's hands throughout his life, and to see how the Lord shaped and refined him to be the man, leader, and prophet that He  knew that he could be. As he did what the Lord asked, one prompting or good thought at a time, he became the Lord's instrument. Watching Pres. Monson's funeral last week helped me to see that again, as he too was made an instrument in the blessing of so many other's lives, simply because he was willing to always do what the Lord asked.

He never put a problem to be solved above a person to be loved.I.t's my hope that I can one day learn to never put off a prompting and be able to bless others and be the answers to others prayers as I listen to the Spirit and do my best to follow the promptings of the Lord in this work  and throughout my life. Feel free to join me in this goal ðŸ¤—
Love you all,
Sister Wilcox​
