Week of Miracles!

Hi all!

A big thank you for your continual love and support! I love hearing from! I hope you don't get tired of hearing from me. ;) 

This week has been so full of miracles I don't even know where to start! I wish you could meet all of these people! It's amazing that when we have been talking to everyone that there are always people to teach! 

There was a group of people that I was hesitant to walk up to but my companion felt like we should and so we went over and found out that one of them had met with missionaries previously! We got his contact info and were able to invite him to an open house we're holding this Friday.

Also, we were able to get back in contact with a lady named Mary and we had a great lesson with her! As we started talking about families and how important they are, she started crying. After a bit we asked what she was feeling and she said she was just happy and filled with the spirit! It was amazing! She's going to read the Book of Mormon and come to the open house! She is so prepared to hear the gospel!

People have just been opening up this week! Another lady and her bed bound mother that we go by and see fairly often asked about what i was holding! We were able to share a copy of the Book of Mormon with her! It was so neat! She wasn't very open the first couple times we went over, but as we have come and prayed with her mom her heart has softened!

There are such amazing people who are ready to hear the gospel! As it says in Alma  - Their souls are precious!  Please keep them all in your prayers! I know that I don't have the knowledge to know what they need to hear, but i know that He does! Will you please keep us in your prayers this week that we'll be able to help them feel of the Savior's love and of the truth of the things we share? Also, that the open house we are having Friday will go off without a hitch! 

Thank you for all you do to come closer to the Lord every day! I know He is there!

Have an amazing week!

Much love,

Sister Gessel
