 This week, we had such an amazing experience! We were supposed to go with a sister in the ward to visit a man investigator, and LAST MINUTE  she backed out. We tried calling other members to see if they could come, and no one could! finally, we call hna Miriam. She said she couldn't, she had a ton of stuff to do and her mom was sick.... which has been normal since i got here. her  mom is super sick. ha I had the strongest impression that she needed help, so we went to go help her instead... Luckily, all of our appointments fell through for the rest of the night. As we showed up to her house, it was a wreck. three week old dishes, laundry up to the ceiling, dirt caked on the floor... and Miriam was in the  middle of a breakdown. AS we sat down to talk to her, she said she feels so horrid, because she feels like God is begging for her time, and she has no way to give it. Her mom had fallen down the day before and started throwing up blood. she cant leave her mom! As she tried telling us how sorry she was, how badly she needed to help the Lord bring souls unto him, we told her that that was not the case!!! Sometimes, the Lord needs to correct US. He needs to show us that we need to be somewhere else, doing something else, so bless the lives of his children. This was his way of telling us what was really important...We spent the rest of the day helping her clean, wash, fold, scrub, throw stuff away, while she sat with her mom and talked to her. It was such an amazing experience to be able to be the Lords hand in the life of someone else. as we left, we could tell that Miriam was feeling so much more peaceful. She told us that missionaries really are the angels send among the children of men. I love being on the mission!
