"I thought you were homeschooling her"
Yeah, two guys asked if I was homeschooling my companion the other day at Barnes and Noble haha.
Nope, we were just trying to make a baptismal plan for our girl...RANI! 
Rani is getting baptized on the 17th!
What an angel and miracle she is. We have been teaching her all the lessons through video and text because that is how busy she is with work. As of now she is on track to get baptized, but she still needs the prayers!!! She is such a spiritually intune person and is still praying to get the confirmation that this is God's will for her. But wow, I wish you all could meet her. I am so inspired each day from the faith she has!
Imagine being abandoned by your family members because you believe in God and Jesus Christ. Imagine choosing to leave behind even your husband for it. That is how converted Rani is to Jesus Christ. She about lit up when we asked her if the 17th works, because that is the number of the day she was born on, and the day her daughter passed away. Her daughter was our age when she passed. I have full confidence her daughter has now accepted the gospel and is working as an angel in her mother's life along side us. God is in the details.
TOP 7 THINGS TO SUM UP THE WEEK:
☆ Sister Caraway and I gave a referral training in front of the entire mission! 
☆ Saw my mom, Sister Henry! 
☆ Met the COOLEST dude named John who is here for school from Colorado. He had so many questions about our church and he came on Sunday! 
☆ Ran into the sisters' friend, Joy, who used to be on baptism date. 
☆ Weekly lessons with Yorel. the previous sisters found her while knocking, and she used to be a member! She is slowly coming back to the church and is trying to get her two sons to come. Seeing how the Gospel is blessing her life has been incredible to watch. 
☆ Had some funny member meals with the Matthews and the Lays. I love the ward members. 
☆ Our mission is locking in apparently--no more Messenger and no more music in the car. 
There were definitely some hard parts to this week. I think God is trying to teach me patience and stillness. I also experienced a few crashouts you could say. But I noticed as I immediately decided to submit myself to the work, God delivered! So many people were put in our path! Just remember when you hit rock bottom, that means something good is coming. He always delivers!
THOUGHT:
I absolutely love talking with people. Which is not something you would hear me say growing up. But now, I find so much purpose and joy in it! When I am not talking to people, I feel so down! So here is your reminder, if you need some purpose and fulfillment in your life, go talk to people! A family member, a friend, or heck, a stranger at a gas station. The moment you forget yourself and look for the need of someone else, I promise you will begin to feel so much joy!!! Crazy how God has turned my least favorite thing into my favorite thing - talking with people. Even if half the time I'm getting rejected lol. But my point is, I know he can do the same for you: turn something that you don't enjoy doing to something you do, as you work on it!
Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
