Prayer is Mighty

 We had zone conference this week! That was a blast! I spoke about how praying in faith effects our desires to do the work! I learned so much preparing for my discussion. Prayer is so powerful and can bring miracles! Here's an example: 

We met this man named Michael a couple weeks back while out walking in Fillmore. He called us a few days later and we were able to help him through a really tough spot in his life with prayer. He has seen miracles happen this past week, and is on track to sort his life back out! He also has had his heart softened to the point where he wants to learn about the Gospel! He lives in Santa Clarita, and so we passed him off to the missionaries there, and he is doing great! All we did was pray with him, listen to him, and be there. God did the rest. He is in control! 

I am so grateful for prayer! I have seen the way I pray change over the last little while. It has become more of a  conversation with God and has helped me to develop a real relationship with Him! I am able to do all things through Christ!

I love my companions! They are so fun and we have the best time!

Random experiences this week:

 

We had a two hour long member visit this week...she needed it, but they had DOGS! So I've also had allergies the rest of this week!

Sister Olson, Stock, and I have been speaking in British and Australian accents all week. It's been hilarious. 

I got stung by a BEE on my finger :(

It was Sister Stock's 3rd month mark <3

It was Vanessa's daughter's birthday and we went to the end of the party to support Vanessa. She asked us to watch her bouncy castle until the guys came to get it...we watched it very closely!

We had an exchange with the ojai sisters and I got to be with Sister Gowans who is the sweetest!

General conference was amazing! The overall message was of peace and christlike love. It was so up-lifting. I am grateful for the Spirit who taught me and inspired the speakers. I am grateful for a modern day prophet and apostles! Something that really struck me was Elder Andersen's talk about how we need to stand up for the Savior and bear testimony of Him. That we need to talk of Him, testify of Him, and rejoice in Him! I love my Savior and have grown much closer to Him over my mission. I love who I am becoming as I do grow closer to him!
