Where You Want Me to Go: Is that Smeagle? April 16, 2018

Heyo everyone!
Look at me, getting my weekly out early today. I'm on a roll. But mostly I've been excited to use my subject line so I wanted to grace you with it quicker. All will be explained shortly.

HIGHLIGHTS

1. HOLY MOLY WE SAW SOME MIRACLES. Firstly, I was on exchanges with Sister Sage this week and we went to visit a less active named pinky. We came and she began to cry and told us about how her 3 month old nephew just died from SIDS. It was so sad. But we were able to comfort her a little and remind her of the Plan of Salvation. One if her sons, Jorge, came out, and he was so excited to see us! Turns out, he's met with missionaries before and really wanted to meet with us again so he could get baptized and receive the priesthood! It was so cool! He's like the most prepared kid ever.
2. Did you know Jimmy John's delivered? I didn't either, until us and a delivery guy were both knocking on a potentials door for 5 minutes together. It was a very funny and weird experience.
3. We finally met a lady named Robin who is a member, and hasn't been to church in many years. She was finally home, and told us about how she just got full custody over two of her nephews. She decided that they needed to know about God, and so every night they have been reading the book for Mormon. The eldest nephew, Robert, is about to turn 8 and really wants to be baptized. He recited to us the whole first vision from memory, it was the coolest thing ever!
4. One day we were out knocking some doors and a guy was sitting on his porch, named Steve. We went up and started talking to him and he told us that his mom was a member of our church and that he had been thinking about the missionaries and wondering if there was any in the area, and we showed up! He was really excited to talk with us and wanted to set an appointment for next week :) Things are going good here in Erie! When I first got here, there was absolutely no one to teach. But with a little hard work and prayer, we have been able to see some great miracles happen. It's been really cool to look at where we are now from when I first got here and how the work has progressed. We still have a long way to go, but it's so great! The gospel is true, and I have witnessed its truthfulness time and time again in the way it changes peoples lives. Most importantly, my life. I love you all, and I hope yinz have a great week!
