This week was great!! Sister Smith and I are working so hard and the Lord is blessing us. We've only been together about a week and a half but we are a good team. First off, I have had so much energy. It has been so great. We have been waking up thirty minutes early and going running for about 45 minutes then eating no gluten! It has been amazing about how much energy I have! O my goodness, I have noticed I recognize the Spirit so much better as well. This has been so great and I seriously have gained a testimony of eating healthy and working out. It makes such a difference!
Here is a little miracle story! So on Wedsnesday after comp study we headed out to go by on a potential. As we were headed to the potential we were talking to everyone we say. The fourth person we stopped was interested! His name is Ali and he is from Turkey. We told him all about the Book of Mormon and he was so excited. He then looked at us and said "What if we headed to a cafe right now so we could talk more about it?" Sister Smith and I were both a bit flabbergasted. But of course we said ya! We went to a cafe and gave her an overview of the Book of Mormon and he kept saying thank you to us since we had stopped us. It was a great lesson and we are going to meet with him again this week! Isn't that cool?? There are really people out there who are prepared. We just have to find them.
Have I ever told yall about Erwin?? I met him on a bus my first transfer here. We got to talking and I told him I was from Georgia and he was so excited because his favorite band is the Allman brothers. Then I just happened to show him my name tag how I was Sister Allman and he was so excited. Well he always wanted to me with us but was just so apprehensive. Finally he came to the Thanksgiving Dinner and met our GML and just loved him. Well he has been coming to church regularly but didn't want to meet with his, only just at church. He also found out about baptism and kind of freaked out. The B word scares him so bad. haha But it has been a miracle. Finally he is meeting with us and he is reading in the BOM and just loves it. Yesterday at church he told me he felt like the Prodigal Son. He said that a year ago he didnt want anything to do with church or God, but now he is so interested and he just loves coming to church. I know he will be getting baptized! It is so amazing to see the changes he has already been going through. Wow. I love seeing how the Gospel of Jesus Christ really changes peoples lives. It is incredible.
So something weird happened to me this week. Starting Thursday I just lost my appetite. Friday night I didn't sleep at all and I was wide awake the whole night! The next morning I was stil wide awake and I tried to eat something but I couldn't. I was a nauseous and a little shakey too and it was just so weird. Well I asked the Elders for a blessing because we were meeting them at the church for a joint teach thatmorning anyway. I was so nervous becuase we had two eating appointments that day, and I thought there was no way that I would be able to eat all the food that people stuff us with. I thought for sure I would throw everything up. Well the Elders gave me a blessing and through the power of the Preisthood I was fine!! It was great. In the blessing it also said that I will not get sick again on my mission. Thank goodness! I mean shingles, then a bladder infection, I am sick of going to the doctor haha. But my testimony was just strengthend over the priesthood. It is the best! Okay, maybe this part was too much information, but o well!
Thanks for all the prayers. The work is going great. The Lord is blessing us, and I am so happy to be here. I know there are just miracles waiting to happen.
Well i love you all!!!! Have a fantastic week!!!
