Lots Of Miracles This Week!!

  So this week was saw a huge miracle. We had a less active who started coming back to church. We took a team up over to her house and we asked her daughter who is 11 if she wanted to be baptized. (we have asked in the past but her dad is total anti) and they have no more communication with her dad anymore. so we felt like since they were coming to church we could ask her again if she wanted to be baptized. so we did and she said YES!!! and she was so excited. and we talked to her mom and her. her mom who is a less active member coming back talked about how she knows she needs to come back for her two girls and her. and she is starting to get her life back in order. and she bore her testimony on the atonement and how its sooo real. the spirit was so powerful and she was sooooo sincere. and they really just want to find out for themselves that its true. so we set her daughter Tae-anna for baptism for july 12!!! and we know with out a doubt she is going to make it to that date. and she is sooo excited. and they already have her going to young womens so she can be fellowshipped and she loves it. we are so excited we have been praying for that. (oh random fact. So this is elder hollands cousins daughter that we have been working with) that's sooo cool!!! we are just so excited for her baptism and so excited for her mom and her. we are grateful heavenly father has blessed us with them. we have been having a rought past couple weeks we have been dropped a lot. and we had a less active pass away and one get arrested. and a lot of investigaotrs have dropped us. so its cool that since we stayed working hard. heavenly father blessed us with tae-anna and her mom
    This week we had a member feed us turtle. it was a snapping turtle that they killed and cooked.... it was actually pretty good. :) :) :)
     this week we were also blessed with 4 new investigators. which we are excited about. two of them are referrals we recived from a member that we are working with.
      oh the wheather was not as crazy as it was the week before. Saturday night there was a huge wind storm. and a couple huge trees were torn out of the ground. and besides that just big branches everywhere. and today we have a thunder storm watch. but its not bad just lots of thunder and rain but its dying down.
   
      So we had a really good week. we saw lots of miricles it was great!!!!!!!!!
love you all

Wild Weather

  this week Nebraska got hit with a lot of storms. Tuesday we went into tornado warning so we had to go in. and then the storm hit hard and the sky was green and the sirens were going off (they are really loud) we had to spend sometime in our basement. the tornado hit right outside of freemont on both sides. but it did not hit fremont. the storm lasted until 1ish in the morning. so we had to stay in pretty much all day. the storm cleared for a little bit so we went out to try to work but the zone leaders texted and told everyone to go to a members home. so we went back in. and we had hot coco with our members.
     we had more storms and tornado watches on Thursday. but it wasn't as nearly as bad as Tuesday. and freemont and branches fallen.. the worst thing I saw the next day was a tree fell on a car. but blair got hit really really bad. we have heard really really bad stories about blair. houses were ruined and huge car dealer ship got ruined. we got told we could leave our area on wednesday to go do service in blair with our zone. but we didn't have enough miles on our car since it was the end of the month. so we weren't able to go help.
     so 3 weeks ago I promised a less active of ours if she read her book of Mormon every day she would be able to find a job. so for a long time we would come over and she would say she hasn't read.... so we would sit down and read with her. and this last week she called us and told us she read. then she would call us a lot more and tell us she read again. and yesterday she called us and told us she found a job!!! which was a huge miracle. im so glad she finally started reading and she got blessed for it.
     we had exchanges this week which was also a lot of fun!
love you all

Miranda is in Fremont

so this week was good in fremont. we taught a lot of lessons which was great!!!!
  Monday was p day and we just rested. and that night we taugh some lessons.
     Tuesday we taught a lot of lessons and we tried people.
  Wednesday we had district meeting which was fun. it was really cool meeting all the new missionairs in my new district. we have to travel a little less then an hour on Wednesdays for district meeting which is kind of crazy because in Lincoln we were right by the church.
   Friday we had kind of a crazy experience. we had some people let us in and they told us to sit down so we did and we thought they were interested... but they pretty much just wanted to bible bash with us and tell us that there is no way the book of Mormon could be true. it was really cool though because we stayed calm and we just testified and you could feel the spirit working through us. and even though they are not new investigators it was cool because the holy ghost did soften there hearts a little bit. by the end they were telling us how grateful they are for us to have the couage to go out and share what we belive and they were telling us they admire us for that at the end. so it was cool because the holy ghost worked really strongly thorugh us which was cool.
    Saturday we had coordination meeting and we drove out to valley to go see less actives out there. which was a fun drive
  sunday was my first sunday in this ward and it was a lot of fun. the ward is small but they are all very sweet.
   that was our week it was really good. we are working with a lot of investigators but none are really prorgressing. but we have some that might start progressing soon
love ya all

Life is good in Nebraska!!



 
his week was sooo fun.
  Monday was p day we played tennis all day which was a lot of fun!!!
    Tuesday was a normal tracting all day
Wednesday we had distrtict meeting and all through district meeting I didn't feel good. but I just ignored it, and after we were at district lunch and my comp and the Mahoney and neb city sisters told me that my face is turning as white as snow and they felt my head and I had a huge fevor. so my comp and I got sent home for me to sleep and rest.
    Thursday was good we just tracted the whole day :) and we did a lot of yard work and service for members which was a  lot of fun. we also painted a garage.
   Friday we had exchanges I stayed in Lincoln and my comp went to Fairview. and I was with sister Youngberg. we were able to find 3 new investitagtors which was really cool. and we found a lost sheep:) but we had a cool experience. we were walking down the road and a former lived up the road and her son was outside and he saw us and starts yelling my ladies my ladies come here (that's what he calls us so its weird) so we come over and he says my dad past away of cancer yesterday and my mom is inside and she needs you. so we go in. and they asked us if we could pray with them. so we said a prayer and they were just crying at the end of the prayer. so we were able to teach them a little bit of the plan of salvation and they are now investigating again and we are excited to teach them. it just showed us that if we are obideint and have faith this heavenly father will put is were we need to be at just the right time!!!
    Saturday we weekly planned then did service then tracted. :) Saturday night our fav sisters moved back in with us again for 3 days (haha this is the 3 time they have lived with us) and so we are happy that we are able to hang out with them again!!!
