Pray Always

It rained all week here in NSW! Thank you so much for all of your prayers!! You all are seriously the best. God is so good. In the bible dictionary it says that the objective of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant us! HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THAT! This is evident with what happened here in Australia. As soon as we all prayed and fasted for rain, it started to rain. God is always wanting to help. So pray always!!

This week we finally met a less active lady in our ward. We have been trying to contact her for 2 months now! She poured her heart out to us about her situation and about how she has been missing church. She told us that when she heard the knock on her door she said a prayer hoping it would be missionaries. I was so glad we could be an answer to her prayer. I am grateful God sent us to her. Her strength and testimony and extra love gave me hope to keep doing missionary work. It was the extra boost I needed. The spirit was there a little extra. We could all feel God's love for her. Those kinds of moments are so special for me.

Just yesterday we went and visited this other lady, Michelle! She is a returning member and I just love her with my whole heart. We were in her backyard and Sister Tematuanui was playing the piano and she was playing her guitar and it actually sounded sooooo beautiful and in that moment I was just at peace. I felt so much joy and love for Australia. I LOVE this place and these people. I know this is where I need to be right now.

Have such an amazing week everyone! God loves you and so do I!!! 

This is Tina, my favorite little girl.  Oh man, she is funny and just too cute!
