Holy cow, I truly can't believe this is my last pday ever. I can't even begin to express what I feel or the gratitude in my heart for this place, these experiences and these people. I don't even know where to begin summing up this whole experience and what it's meant to me so I won't try lol. Hopefully, I'll be ready by the time my homecoming rolls around. Stay tuned haha.

 

I'll start by talking about the miracles of the past few weeks. Sister Gibbs and I have been working so so hard to find people who are interested and ready to progress with not much luck until a few weeks ago.  We got a text from a random number who said he had a dream that he needed to come to church and would be there in the morning! The text came at 3 am and Arda and his friend Parsa actually showed up for 8:30 am church where we met them for the first time! They were really nervous because they had both recently converted to Christianity and moved here from Turkey but they couldn't deny the spirit that they felt at church. They said they felt an at- home comfortable. So we've been teaching them and it's been amazing. We found out Arda had another vivid dream years ago where he had seen the temple and talked to a temple worker. A couple of days later he somehow found himself on the temple grounds talking to the same worker met in his dream. I've never seen someone receive such clear and direct communication from God.  It's been another testament to me of how God is SO aware of each one of his children no matter where we are. He just wants us to know Him.

 

I was able to go to the temple again this week which was absolutely amazing. I didn't realize how much I needed it. I love it there. 

 

Another amazing miracle came when we went to visit a media referral. We  ended up meeting her grandfather Ishwar. Ishwar recently lost his faith in God because his "soulmate" passed away and he didn't understand why he was still here.  He didn't know much about Christ because he grew up Hindu but we testified of God's plan which he had never heard before and it resonated with him deeply. The daughter Cierra, who had been listening  brought in a photo of her dad who had recently passed away.  She didn't say anything but we were able to testify to her that she will see her dad again and she cried and we cried along with her. The spirit was tangible in the room. They felt the spirit and God's love for them and couldn't deny it.

 

These are just two of the many miracles I was able to witness this week. Time and time again I'm reminded of how perfect God's plan and timing is. The scripture that keeps coming to my mind these last few weeks is in D&C 18:10 "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God"  I know it is SO true no one is forgotten or forsaken  and no one is out of reach of God's love.  It has been the greatest blessing to be able to be an instrument in God's hands to help Him accomplish a tiny part in manifesting his love and fulfilling His plan these past 18 months.

 

Another verse that's been coming to my mind a lot is Mosiah 18:30 " And now it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to His praise forever.

 

I love this verse because one of my friends pointed out that Mormon was the place the people came to know their Redeemer. It resonates with me s much because Florida is the place  I came to know my Redeemer.  This place has truly become holy ground in my life because of the experiences I've had and the friends I've made.  Anyways I'll stop rambling haha. I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU ALL!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
