Moving mountains

Well folks, to start out, I want to share with you a scripture:

"But behold, I, [Becca], will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith..." 1 Nephi 1:20

This week has truly been so amazing! Many of you have asked, and no, we didn't have to go eat mountains of rice yesterday! THE LORD IN HIS INFINITE MERCY!! :) Hahaha.

But really though, we were just running around like crazy all week. Wednesday we had MLC and Stake reporting for the Providence Stake, then Thursday we had to plan zone meeting, then Friday we had said zone meeting... And it was all SO AWESOME! I learned so much and I just feel so grateful to be here, in Providence, in this sacred place in this sacred time. THE FIELD IS WHITE! 

So after training the zone all about faith and getting them pumped, we needed to exercise a little faith of our own because 0 new investigators for that week. So we worked our little hearts out the rest of Friday and Saturday and nothin. The field wasn't looking very white... Let's just leave it at that. And Sunday we had a ton of important appointments with investigators and recent converts, and a baptism! So it's not like we had time to go knock doors or whatever. So we prayed for the Lord to put the 3 people in our path. And He did! Of course He did. Not only that, but in EVERY appointment we had we met a new potential. And then other missionaries were calling and texting us off the hook to give us referrals! It was crazy. I know that when God gives you a commandment He ALWAYS prepares a way for you to fulfill it. "He didn't send us here to fail, but to succeed gloriously." -Richard G. Scott

High-five, Elder Scott!

Also, as aforementioned, we had a baptism yesterday! Our good friend Felipe was looking soooo good in a white jumpsuit! And his fiance was just so giddy with joy. I love that. They will be married in 2 weeks :) Hna Grecia is so awesome. She wouldn't set a firm date to be married until he was baptized, and now they are all set. 

Anyways, I love being a missionary. I don't know how often I say that, but probably not often enough. This is the best occupation in the world. Ok, maybe motherhood beats it... But it's pretty great! I love just being happy and smiling at people and making them happy. I love just being a little glowing light, just running around scattering sunshine! There are way too many people in this world who have so many burdens on their shoulders. If I can do something, no matter how small, to lift that burden then my day has been a success. Keep on keeping on! I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week. 

IS THIS REAL LIFE??
