Power of fasting 2/7

Well another week has come and gone. It has been so full of miracles and there are a few stories that come to mind that I would love to share with you! So first off, I want to testify of the power of fasting. My companion and I have been struggling to know what to do with an investigator who has desires to be baptized but works every Sunday and is unable to attend church. We decided we need to fast about him and as soon as we finished our fast, we were at a member’s house and our investigator came up and the member said exactly what we needed to hear to be able to help our investigator in that moment. It was also a testimony to me that we cannot do this work alone, we need the help of the members. I have seen this a lot in this transfer, there are many many miracles when members and missionaries work together.

My second miracle story. About a week ago my companion and I were walking down the street when I suddenly felt like a was being pushed, I looked back to see who was pushing me and there was no one behind me. I quickened my pace for quite a while just feeling like someone was pushing me along. After the feeling went away I turned to my companion and told her what I had just felt had happened, feeling a little confused. As we crossed the street talking about what had just happened, I suddenly saw an investigator, Gustavo, from my last area. In Sabadell he had very suddenly moved one day and we weren't able to get in contact with him and there he was in my new area. It was such a miracle. It was a testimony to me that there are angels surrounding us and guiding us in this work. God's hand is in every little detail of this great work.

On Monday we had our zone conference and it was absolutely incredible. Hermana Dayton talked about how we can live a positive and successful life and she talked about how the way we think about ourselves and our situations has a much larger impact than we think. We must think about ourselves in positive ways and with confidence that we will have a bright future. It was crazy cause I had actually been thinking about that a lot this week, about Courtney's little science project in 5th grade and all of dad's great lectures about using “I am” and “I will” statements. I have been trying to focus on these things this week and Hermana Dayton just said exactly what I needed to hear. True inspiration. It's very true, there are power in our words and the way we think, it tests our faith a lot of the time. We must stay strong to the goals we set and speak and think positively because it has so much power.

Well today we went to tibidabo as a district and it was soooo pretty. I'll send pics! I love you all!
