I Am Serving Everybody.....


So i was on an exchange because my comp was at temple square and we were up working on the mountain, and we both felt prompted to go somewhere else so we started to drive down and elder clark, our DL said lets go see mellissa, so we went to her house, and when we got there she had just pulled in the driveway. we asked if we could teach here a lesson and she agreed, of course :) so we got her neighbor and started to teach her and she just started to cry. and than she told us what happened to her that day, it is probable like 2pm last thursday, she had been driving to salt lake and being with a man that she said that she has loved for a long time, he has been in and out of jail for a long time and he is really addicted to a buch of different drugs, as you can suspect, he got her into them also. So they did these drugs that morning and they made him lose his temper and he started to beat her, so she got in her car and he got in also and she was driving him to the tracks (the train transportation system here) to drop him off and the entire time he is yeling and screaming at her and hitting her. she had bruises all up and down her arms and legs and who knows where else. so she drops him off and starts to drive away when she gets about 2 blocks away she gets a flat tire. so she calls here brothers and sisters and friends and she got so desperate for help that she even called this guy that she just dropped off. but nobody would help her. so she is on here knees crying with the manual out trying to figure out how to change her tire when 2 missionaries come up. they change her tire and talk with her and send her on her way. miracle #1. so as she is driving home she tells heavenly father that the first thing that she will do when she gets home is call the missionaries. so her tank is on empty and somehow she makes it home, and right when she pulled in we were there. miracle #2. She didnt need to call the missionaries because god had already called us. so we listened and i said mellissa do you believe that god loves you? She said yes and i said you are absolutely right, he walks with you and watches you and he loves you. he is there for you when you need him. you needed him today and he sent you 4 of his servents. you are his daughter and he loves you. she than started to beg us to tell her what she should do. she wanted direction. so elder clark said that we cant give her direction but god will if you ask. so we had her say a prayer, she is crying so hard you can hardly even understand her but it was the most beautiful, sincere prayer that i have ever heard. and when she was done, after she said in the name of jesus christ amen, she stopped crying and the lord answered her right there. she said everything that came to her and she said, i need to call my parents and tell them what i am doing, i need to go back and live with them and get out of utah get rid of my friends see missionaries ........... and she listed a few more. miracle #3. she recieved an answer right than and there for the 3rd time. I know that god sends us here for people. I am not serving in utah, i am serving the people in draper utah and not just in utah, but i am serving everybody that is placed in my path and everybody that will let me. I love this work momma! there is no way that could have happened if god was not at the head of this church and leading this work. I love you momma! have a great day and a great week! hopefully that story will bless you and others this week and answer your prayers! the lord will always answer when we ask. I love you!!
