Trying to Increase My Faith.....

Hey momma!!? But ya that rule for fish is pretty brutal but he needs to get it done, he
will never regret it, dad and i saw the turf that the cowboys play on and they had like 6 different fields in one room, it was sweet! I got to eat dinner with joe!! he called my district leader while i was with him and we had dinner at our land lords house! it was pretty awesome to see that dirt bugger again! I gave him my favorite tie and signed it for him :) tranfers were 2 weeks ago and i was tranfered out, but they changed their minds last minute and left me here. they were gonna put me in a tongan ward but they put a missionary that left for home, straightened his life and came back there  but  maybe next transfer :) I can be reassigned spanish and i want to but i dont know if it will or not? next transfer is in 4 weeksi Love you mom!!!!! You r the best! i pray for you every night! Have a great week! i love you!!!

Hey dad!! its great to here about all of the stuff that is happening,> I like to here about the ward! Tell fish good job for me, i couldnt> open his email so maybe next week i will get one from him.> This week i have been trying to increase my faith, so i wanted to> knock on inspired doors, as we walked by a house that we wald by every  day, i felt that i needed to go in the back yard, so i did and there> is a rv back there, so i went and knocked on it, a lady answered that> is 35 and and she was crying, i asked what was wrong and she said who> sent you, and was really stand-offish. so i said we have been sent by> the lord to help you out today, she looked at us and said, please come> inside i need your help. we sat down and she just poured out her soul> to us. everything about her and her life and her problems. she had a> really hard life and was forced to be a prostitute. she is in a very > bad position. but we sat there and listened. she said that she need my> help to make a decision, and the decision was to go to a bar or not> with the man that she is living with and she has a terrible feeling> about it tonight. if she says no than he beats her. so I said do you> believe in god. she said yes, i said do you believe that god answers> prayers. she said " I prayed for help today in making this choice and> for comfort. and you knocked on my door and have comforted me, so yes> i do. so i said " well lets get down on our knees right now and ask
> god what you should do tonight. is that ok?" and she said yes, as long> as you say it. so i did. I prayed for her right there and asked for> him to comfort her, asked that he would let us know what she should do
> tonight, what he would have her do. and after we sat back down. she> started to cry again and she said, well what do i do. so i said " don> go to the bar tonight, you have a friend that will come and help you,
> when you see your boyfriend tell him that you have a bad feeling about> tonight and that you will not go. tell him boldly and be strong and he> will not harm you. if you do this everything will be ok. will you do
> this?" she said yes. we left and she was on my mind all day. the next> day we went over and she was home. she invited us in and looked> better. she said, "after you left my friend came over and talked to me
> for a long time, when she left my boyfriend came home, i told him> exactly what you said and he got really mad and left. he came home a> little while later and i was really affraid. he walked in with food,> he layed me down and cooked me some soup, he than gave me a hug and> said that he trusts my instincts and that he is sorry that he left. > than we watched a movie together and went to sleep. the next morning i> needed to go to town and i didnt have a ride, and my neighbor came> over and gave me a ride and helped me pay for what i needed. i have> never met my neighbor before. everything that you said was right!"> everything that i told her to do she did and she had many miracles> happen for her. Faith is everything!! the lord will always answer us> if we have faith enough to recieve his blessings. That is what i> learned this week. I wanted to share it with you guys and hopefully > that story can bless not only my life and her life, but maybe somebody> elses life to?  thank you for all that you do for me! you are the> best dad in the world! I love you! i gotta go, give fish a hard time.
