Friends 7-10-16

Ah, what a week. Transfers happen this week and I am soooo sad to send Sister Chudleigh home tomorrow. She has seriously been the best trainer/friend I could have asked for. I cannot explain the sacredness of being with someone you love, and get to testify of Jesus Christ with in peoples humble homes. I have truly found one of my best friends in her! She is unreal!

Well, this week we witnessed so many miracles, and I know it's because we went non-stop!! Had to send her home tired;) The first miracle we witnessed was on chat this week. So what chat is, is we are the people who reply to you on Mormon.org, not always just a few hours everyday! And we got on and no one was on to chat with and all of a sudden other sisters around the world transferred us their chat, we were confused why they did that but we picked it up anyways, and we were able to talk to this girl who was basically asking us to remove her church records and we didn't ask her why or why she was upset with the church, rather we were able to send her our favorite talks each and to testify of Jesus Christs forgiving power and the love he has for each of us. Nearing the end of our conversation we told her to never give up and she replied, "Giving up isn't an option after speaking with you two." We were so grateful that this girl had got shifted to us and that Heavenly Father didn't want us to ask why she was upset, but rather tell her about the immense love he has for her. We were able to save a soul, and we even found out she is returned missionary, and she has family in Delta, that I know really well. Such a tender mercy!!

The second one happened yesterday when we were saying goodbye to a few people, we were driving home, listening to our music and we saw this guy walking who looked SO sad. We kept driving but in my head I was like, "Turn around, stop, go talk to him." I let my pride get in the way and didn't say anything until it was like something made me spit out the words, and I said "Sister chudleigh stop the car, we need to talk to that man." She literally slammed on the brakes and said "I know we do, I have been thinking that too." We stopped the car and started walking to where we thought the man was, and he was gone, sooo we kept walking :) We finally caught up to him, and he was a 19 year old Indian boy. He was so nice. He only moved here 2 days ago, and he said "I am sooo homesick, and I was just praying to God that I wouldn't have to walk alone, that I could find friends, and right then you two showed up." We were so grateful we followed a prompting, even if it was a little late. It's better late then never!! 

Well, please pray for Sister Chudleigh this week, I know it will be hard for her to leave these beautiful people and beautiful country. Please pray for my new companion. She will be great whoever she is. I am so excited to continue on in the amazing work!!! The caravan goes on!
