We had an awesome miracle on Friday! It all started in the morning when soeur Morrison's skirt broke after she had put it on. The zipper got all stuck and she couldn't get out of it for almost an hour. So she changed outfits and decided to put on tights. She thought it was going to be chilly. Then we started to plan and decided to go visit a less active family. Except they live super far away, about 20 km and the buses that go there are not frequent. We decided to go in the afternoon. So we went and it's a tiny tiny town, super cute! We started walking to the house and after about 15 minutes I look at the map and we had been walking down a road parallel to the one we were supposed to be walking on. That added about 10 minutes to our walk. Finally we get to the house and a neighbor is out side and says that they aren't home yet but we ring the door bell anyways. He was right! But it was super hot outside and soeur Morrison really wanted to take off her tights, she was going to do it right there but I saw a brown fence for trash cans right across the street so we went there quickly. Right as she finished we heard little voices and we are pretty sure it's the family!! We try to look without being creepy but couldn't really tell. Then we walked around for 5 minutes then went back. We were right and they answer! We had no idea who they were so we assumed the woman who answered the door was the mom, wrong! It was their nanny so we left a note with our phone number for the parents. Then we go on our way. Of course we buy a patisserie in town and some really good bread with olives in it. We get back home and at about 8 the mom calls! She was so surprised that we went all the way out there to talk to them and she said her 9 year old son has expressed the desire to be baptized after he went to his best friends baptism last year. So she invited us over for family home evening next next week to start teaching the boy!! It was so cool!!
Other than that we had an awesome lesson with Vanessa! We met her on the tram a few weeks ago and finally met with her. It was probably the sweetest lesson I've ever had! All she wants is healing in her life and happiness in her family!
Julie is progressing well. Even though she said she didn't want to live the word of wisdom she cut down smoking and pretty much eliminated caffeine after our lesson last week. She rolled her ankle and wasn't able to make it to church but we met with her yesterday afternoon and talked about all the good things she has in her life now, she teared up! It was so sweet. And we took cute pictures with our copies of the book of Mormon :)
The gospel is so good!
Love,
Sœur Giles
