Welp...life...it happens...So sister Mansfield and I were driving to go and do service at a senior place, and i was driving downtown with all of the crazy milwaukee drivers...and well...yeah...got into a car accident! ALL IS WELL THOUGH! no worries!! got everything figured out with the police!...but HERE IS THE CRAZY PART! I go to the window of the woman i crash into and said "Mam! Are you okay?" and i learned in EMT that you ask if they know their name and stuff like that..so i asked for her info! She said "Yes. i am sister Marilyn" and i said "Huh??"...SHES A NUN! I RAN INTO A NUN!...not that this was a funny situation....but come ON! WHAT are the odds that a sister would run into ANOTHER SISTER??...interesting!
but besides that little incident this week...It was a really great week!!! MIRACLE IN MILWAUKEE! we were walking on the street and saw this cute family! And so we go and stop them and start talkin to them! they were interested in what we had to say and we asked if we could come back the next morning and they agreed! so we went and taught the whole family about the book of mormon and restoration of Christ's church! The mother offered a profound testimony on the power of prayer! It was INCREDIBLE! I love teaching about Jospeph Smith! Something sister Mansfield has told me is "Everytime I tell the story of the first vision...i tell it how joseph himself would say it!" I LOVED THAT! I have begun to change and be more bold when i give his personal account of what he saw that BEAUTIFUL day!!!!
We were at a restaurant getting something to eat and this guy came up to us and asked what church we were affiliated with and we told him and then taught him! For his sake i won't use his name but lets call him JAck! We went and taught Jack at his place and taught him about the book of mormon and showed him on a map where everything takes place book of mormon and bible-wise! He loved it! he explained to us that he was the youngest person in the state of wisconsin to be federally-imprisoned at the age of 15...he's done some bad but haven't we all??? he said that it was the word of God that fixed him! Prison helped him grow and the word helped him change !I am grateful for the word of God! SPECIFICALLY the book of mormon!!!
I love you all!!!!! Thank you all for your emails and love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
