A Miracle and a Hubcap

Hello everyone! I hope everyone has had a good week

This week was a good one for us. I felt really good about all the work we had done. There was a baptism in the branch and we had 2 of our investigators come which was awesome.  We saw a lot of cool things happen during the week and I had high hopes for Sunday. For me, Sundays are some of the most stressful times in my life. I always show up at church and worry about who's going to come, who isn't there, what the crazy members are going to say during elders quorum, it is just a difficult time to calm down. This week, the first two hours came and went, and no one showed up. I was more frustrated than I had been in a long time. I gave everything I could have given to help people come, and no one showed up. The last hour in the branch is sacrament meeting, so I was just  sitting there contemplating and making myself even more frustrated. I was looking at all the little kids in the branch and I thought about how almost all of their parents were converts which made me feel even worse. I wanted to help someone bring their family into the gospel but I felt like nothing I could do was enough. But the first speaker who got up was one of our investigators who has been coming to church for months but just has to wait because her mom doesn't want her to get baptized. She talked about how she had a goal of having an eternal family and raising her kids in the gospel which was super cool because that was exactly what i was thinking about. It was a little thing, but it was a miracle to me to see that God was looking out for me

In other news, this week we woke up one morning to a missing hubcap and then had to spend time driving around looking for a stupid hubcap. Our vehicle coordinator didn't want to buy a new one so we looked for a while. Eventually we were driving down the road and my companion spotted a hubcap! So we went and parked and ran through a muddy field toward what appeared to be our hubcap. We finally reached it and found out that it wasn't ours. It was some other dumb toyota hubcap. So now the hubcap we found is hanging in our room and we had to order a new one.

I love you all
