Week 76: There Can Be Miracles When You Believe!

My first day in the field my trainer, beautiful Sister Abbott 😍😁, gave me a  planner she made (b/c back before the days of technology all of the Sisters decorated their planners every transfer to be beautiful.. naturally 💁🏼‍♀️@Mary Jensen the best planner-maker out there 😂). Sister Abbott loved "The Prince of Egypt" so mine said, "There can be miracles when you believe." (a line from one of the songs)
It's so true, and I have seen that every single day on my mission! He works miracles in our lives according to our faith.

So here are some of the miracles we saw this week:

-Savanah passed her baptismal interview!!

-we met the standard of excellence again with our key indicators (whenever we try or best the Lord helps us do it! 1 Ne. 3:7)

-we survived and made it to pday 😁👍

-we get to call home on pdays now?? (Not this week though, we have to wait until President trains us on it at ZC.. and then I only have a few pdays left so I'll probably just make you all wait until I get home 🤔🤷‍♀️- still exciting though!)

-the Lord is so aware of us each individually and truly does care about us. If you don't already feel that kneel down and ask Him! 🙏

-also, just reaffirming that the priesthood power is real. And it's powerful. Let it bless your life as you let Him bless your life.

-we slept well (always a good thing to keep you running lol)

-a family that the whole ward has been working with and praying for came to church again for the third time in 2 months!

-we met a lot of cool new people that became some solid potentials to follow up with again! New people are always good 😊

-we had interviews with President and Sister Sorensen and I LOVE THEM 😫💛 saddest part about going home soon? Probably.. it's definitely up there!! I'll just adopt them as family 👍

-our last set/transfer of exchanges started (by the end I'll have gone on at least 50 exchanges on my mission!! Fun stuff- I'll miss these Sisters! They're all so great 😫)

-we had gathering council with Letha and Riverview and they're always so productive and FUNNY at the same time. I love the people of Emmett/Letha! I'll miss all of them so much too!!!! 😥

-we had an awesome lesson with Calli where she literally progressed so much in the past week and she remembered everything we talked about and could teach us what she learned last week about the gospel of Jesus Christ! She prayed every day this week and I think it gave place in her heart for the Spirit to help her grow so much more than she had been before! We've seen the same change in Victoria ad she's prayed every week, and anyone who acts to include the Lord in their life. He helps us grow at an accelerated rate to become more than we ever could on our own. 💛

I love the Lord and I love my Father in Heaven so, so much! They are guiding this work and it's great to be a part of it and to see their hands constantly leading and helping us win battle after battle over the adversary to help His children come back to Him.

Choose to be on Christ's team b/c (spoiler) it's the winning side.

Have a great week! (B/c every week can be a great one if you choose for it to be!)

Share your miracles with me too! B/c it's not fair if this conversation is only one sided 😉👍

Love you all,
Sister Wilcox 😊💛

P.S. I'll try to remember to send a pic of my first planner next week b/c I forgot this time....
