OH DISNEYLAND LOOKED LIKE SOOOOO
MUCH FUN!! AWWW!!!! And Rob and Paige were there! And Rachel! How fun!! Count
your many Blessings! We are a lucky family!
Here on Temple square we have what
we call "regulars". These are the people that are here all the time. You feel bad for a lot of
them, because they don't really know where to turn next in their lives so they
come to temple square because the spirit is here. They are really stuck in the
"doldrums"...not moving forward with their lives. It's kind of sad.
But there are "regulars" that
are similar to the guy on "A Beautiful Mind" who continues to go
to that college campus because it keeps him interacting with people in a safe
place. So I thought I'd tell you about Bob. He is in a automatic wheel
chair and zooms around every morning chatting with the Sisters. He is great,
although you can hardly understand what he says. Anyways, Bob is a good friend
of mine. He says someday he is going to
get married and attach a seat for his wife to his chair so she can drive around
with him all day...hehe
This week has been interesting in
our contacting on the square. I am constantly trying to contact with the spirit
but it's weird sometimes. This week I felt really prompted to talk to this guy.
He had recently had an "alma the younger" experience and needed guidance.
The contact was really spirit filled and I felt that he was who we were to
spend our time with.
Anyways, long story short we
met him again later in the week and things were ok with him. He was trying to
be his best. But something felt a little off. We began asking questions and I
eventually asked, "John do you have a calling in your ward?" and he
looked up at me and said "I have a calling, I am to be a
prophet"...It was so empty of the spirit I felt sick. I was praying about
what to do. We knew something was off spiritually with him. Then a man came up
out of the blue and looked directly me at me and said, "There are a lot of
people that need to be helped in the Assembly Hall. I think you should go
there.," and he left and walked out the gates. At that moment I said,
"Sorry John, we need to leave now". When we got to the assembly Hall no one was
there. I just sat on the pew and prayed. It is interesting how God is so
involved in a little sister missionary on Temple Square. I know that for
some reason Heavenly Father wanted us out of that situation fast. I felt so
terrible and empty when I talked to John, it felt scary, and I don't think I
have felt that empty before. When that
other man came and told us we needed to help other people else where I seriously
felt he was placed there to guide us missionaries at that time.
Anyways, random long story, to say
that my testimony has increased so much that Heavenly Father is very much aware
of me and what I am doing.
Saw John Bytheway this week. He was working with at a Youth Conference
here. (Spoiled Utah youth..ppsshhh)
The working is going well. I am
working hard, and hoping people are coming closer to Christ!

missionary:)
