Happy, happy, happy Monday to each and every single one of you reading this right now in this very moment ๐๐❤
Commence the thoughts on timing...
So, we have this amazing friend named Aneta. She is amazing. Period. She has come to church consistently for about a year now and writes down every spiritual prompting She receives during lessons or church in a notebook and I am kind of in awe of her, honestly. We have been praying and praying about her concerns about baptism and planned two weeks ago to commit her to a specific date...she didn't feel that excited or committed but said she would pray about it. Ok, we were bummed. We made this awesome plan and were showing Heavenly Father She was so ready and then we were sitting there thinking, "what is going on. She is already so prepared. Why isn't this happening right now."
Yesterday she comes to church and says to us that she read Mosiah 18 in the Book of Mormon and had a powerful experience and knows she wants to be baptized.
Wow.
So here's my thought: The Lord is trying to teach me that things are not about me. And that life is on His timetable and not mine. And that miracles happen even when we think they're not happening.
Second timing moment I just have to share. Last Sunday on the metro on the way to church, Sister Hagberg and I sat down next to a woman and started talking to her. We asked her how she was doing today and she started to cry a little bit.
It was one of those moments where we barely said a word but it felt like the Spirit was speaking to everybody in the conversation at the same time. She reached out and touched our hands and thanked us for asking. Sister Hagberg whips out her phone and asks her for contact information and immediately she's like, "yes, sure!" But then her station comes and she's telling us these numbers as she's getting up and leaving and we didn't even get the correct ones written down. We called and called a bunch of different numbers and none of them were right.
Yesterday we're running late and rush onto the metro and sit down. Right there across from us, is ล arka, the woman. I could not even believe it. She was so happy to see us and talk and give us her number and agree to meet.
If we hadn't have run late, we would've missed her. We could've sat in any metro car and in any seat of the train but we sat in the ones across from her.
I know the Lord's timing is perfect and He's aware of every detail of our lives. I love Him with all my heart and I'm so grateful to be a missionary.
I hope your week is filled with moments of joy :)
With all my love,
Sestra Call
I admit that I am very bad at taking pictures (Insert favorite emoji time) ๐ค ๐๐๐
