What a week! I won't lie, it was a bit hard to miss the super bowl, but God sure loves me cause the whole weekend was full of miracles which took my mind off of that :) We had more miracles than I can even begin to count. The biggest miracle though was finding our new investigator, Leslie. I can honestly say I think she is the most prepared and elect person I have ever found in my mission! We found her on Saturday knocking doors, and she was so excited to see us I think she might have even squealed. I assumed maybe she had family who were members or was a former, but come to find out the only thing she knew was that someone once told her Mormons didn't believe in God, but she didn't think that was true. That's it! That's all she knew and she still was stoked to see us cause she said she's been look for a Christian church ever since she came to the states 2 years ago. And the next day she came to church and at one point she turned to me and said "how long does an investigator have to be taught to get baptized? I want to go to that temple trip they were talking about today, can I?" I am so excited to work with her and see her continue to progress :) Another miracle we saw was with one of our members. She's been having a hard time lately and hasn't been coming to church, and whenever we try to set appointments with her it doesn't work out. So finally we decided to stop by her house and just leave a bunch of sticky notes with scriptures and notes for her. So we're in the middle of sticking them on the door, when she opens it! It was so awkward and we just stood there uncomfortably laughing... But then she invited us in! We had such a great lesson with her and at the end we asked if there was anything else we could do for her, and she told us "I think I'm ready for you to visit me again. Just come visit me all the time." We were so happy! It was soo worth the awkward encounter on the doorstep haha Well honestly, I could go on all day, but that's probably all I have time for. But first, I have good news! I CAN BE FRIENDS WITH YOU ALL ON FACEBOOK! So go add me! (cause as much as I love you all, o don't really have time to go find you all and add you as friends) The rule just changed this week :) My name is Hermana-Suzanna Lewis. So ya, there's that!
