PDay update 8/31/15

Hey everyone!!

SO GUESS WHAT!
The mission changed the music rule!  So now we can listen to more than just MOTAB.  We are not allowed to Listen to BYU Vocal Point hymns, instrumental hymns, classical music, and something to do with BYU singers.  I AM LOVING IT! =D   So that was a highlight.  

  Hmmm well, Sister Mangelson went home!!  Crazy!!  And now I am here in Amherst with Sister Troutner!

Sister Troutner is a cutie.  She is from Utah too. =]  She really loves superheros. =]
So far it has been fun getting to know her and I am enjoying myself. =]


Oh, so the Mcarthurs had a little going away thing they did for Sister Mangelson.  It was so nice.  I really love them a lot.  So I attached some pictures from that.   Haha Brother Mcarthur's mom was joking about a straw being his brother (cuz he's so skinny) so he took a picture with it.  hahahah They are always cracking jokes.  It's the best.  The picture with me in it is an accurate depiction of their personalities. hahahaha They're the best.  =]  Today (monday the 31st.) he is going to have his heart checked to see if it will be able to withstand the major laser surgery they want to do on his lung.  They want to remove 1/3 of his lung.  Yeeaahhh....not looking forward to that surgery.  Today we called them right before they left for Moncton and said a prayer with them.  I love them so much guys.  I just don't know what I'll do.

Anyway.  Moving on.
    So a couple cool experiences from these last couple of days!   We were out street contacting and we walked by a street and I just thought I should walk down it.  Ya know, just for the heck of it.  The 2nd house that we knock on had a few people sitting out on their porch. They weren't interested but the woman told us that there was someone they knew who was lost.  She said that she wanted us to go and tell him that his mom loves him.   That she is thinking of him.  She said that she doesn't talk to him, but she is worried about him.
  I was touched that she trusted us enough to tell her son that.  We won't be able to do that until later tonight because she didn't give an address, just the auto shop he works at.  So we had to wait for the weekend to be over.  But I was also happy that Heavenly Father trusted us with that as well.   Spiritual promptings are usually just random ideas I get.  (For me at least.)  

   Another experience was that after church we were going to go visit a member that wasn't at church and when we pulled up the elders car was out front so we were like, ok, haha well, maybe we could stop by anyway.  Just as we park though, another member comes by on her scooter and she pulls up to my car window and she just is not doing good.  She tells us she has been having seizures and feels sick.  So we run over to grab the elders from the other member's house.  It was cool because it was all the right time and the right place.  She was doing much better after the blessing.   It was lucky that we caught her and that the elders were across the street.  
   Later that day I was driving and debating between going and seeing that member that the elders were already visiting or going to see a potential investigator.  Well, I started driving towards the potential and I just didn't feel right.  So I flipped a U-y and went to the members house. Well.  She broke up with her fiance and didn't a good cry.

   Without the Spirit, we can't do this work.  The Spirit is there to guide us.  We have to put our trust in the Lord and He will put His trust in us.  I am grateful that He trusts me.  

I am grateful to be serving as a missionary.  I can't believe how quickly it goes by.  I will miss it when I have to go.  I really will.

I love you all!
