(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for!
The title this week was from a man who ie the father of a
girl we are teaching. We made them cookies and stopped by and gave it to them.
The reason I think it was funny is because it was just from a tub of cookie
dough you buy from walmart. (That's the way to go! I usually just grab a spoon
and go at it!) Apparently we are good at cooking them though! We have made a lot of cookies lately. I
solemnly declare that food is the way to people's hearts!
Miracle moment of the week: We have been teaching a woman
named Autumn for a while. Just recently, her washer stopped working and she
desperately needed a new one. We encouraged her to pray about it. Meanwhile a
member in the ward, Sister Coletti, had gotten a new washer and dryer several
months ago, and kept her old ones in her garage. She had wanted to trash them
and throw them in the dump for a while and had several opportunities to, but something
seemed to always get in the way of it. Autumn went over several times to wash
her clothes at Sister Coletti's but only after Autumn started praying about it,
just one or two days later, did the clear impression go through Sister
Coletti's mind, "The washer and dryer are for Autumn." We were able
to help move them, and now Autumn has a washer and dryer that now work!
It seems like a simple story, a mere coincidence. But I
know, and have faith in, a God that cares about us and loves us. Just as a loving
Father would, he listened to Autumn's prayer and answered it. God is in the
details of out lives. He cares about the things we care about, because he loves
us, and we are His children. God knew that Autumn would need a washer, and so
he kept Sister Coletti from trashing them.
I love you all! Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day!
In this time of love and gratitude, I hope you can all remember and feel of the
one who has the greatest love for us all. The one who layed down His own life
so that we might live again. Namely God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ.

said as he saw this giant puddle in the parking lot of one of the apartment
complexes we cover.

pretty fun!
