Our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ have a stubborn love for us, and They'll never leave our side

Hey Everyone!!! I love youuuuuu!!! Here's my General Email!!!

This week we had an AMMMAZING!!!!! experience!!!

In the morning I prayed and asked Heavenly Father to send us to where He needed us to be. We called to confirm our dinner appt that evening and it was cancelled. Normally i'd be a grumpy gills...mainly because I love the members and their food. But don't get that order mixed up okay?? ;) haha. But after the call I just had this feeling of peace that EVERYTHING would be okay. Anywho we went and tried a less active man that we had never met. He lived clear out in the middle of nowhere. We went to the neighboring house not being able to find it and we saw a woman out on her porch. We went and started talking with her about the Gospel and got to share some stuff about the family. I said something that I have never said before and I thought it was interesting.

We're all human, and we all have needs, everyone needs a sense of BELONGING. To feel that they are important and matter. We often turn to other sources for that feeling, but the best place for us to feel the most love is to our Loving Heavenly Father. We ended up giving her a Book of Mormon and it was awesome! She said her name is Del, and she had the coolest brown lab! Anywho she directed us to the correct house and we left. We knocked on the Newsom's door and the wife answered the door. She said that her husband wasn't home yet but would be back in about an hour or so.

I've REALLY been trying to follow the Spirit and follow bravely the promptings I've received. I've also tried super hard to THROW myself into the work and be anxiously engaged in a good cause!

So we went out and tried more doors! It  was awesome, I don't think very many people opened their doors but I was super happy anyways just going out and doing my best! It was awesome!

We were driving around and passed a woman parked on the side of the road. I had a feeling that we were supposed to talk with her. But I didn't say anything, so we left. I finally mustered up the courage and said that we needed to go back there and talk to her. He said he felt it too. It was funny because we both felt that we were supposed to talk to her but passed her car about 3 times haha. By the time we went back we saw her pulling up into her driveway. We both figured....eh, Might as well! So we went up there anyways and we gave her a card! It was great! I fear that often we are too focused on results when we follow promptings. Even if that was not a prompting, I am proving to my Heavenly Father that He can trust me. And I will continue to do so! And the good we do is never forgetten by the Lord. Ever. He takes that good and weaves miracles out of the small simple acts of sharing the Gospel!

Anywho, we went back to the New's and we saw a brown lab our front. Both of us were like...wait......Dol??! And sure enough Dol's had stopped by at the New's. We said hello and she said she was very appreciative that we were out there making sure Bro Newsom was doing okay and told us to watch out for him. What a nice lady!!!! She'll be baptized just you wait!~! haha. So we got in the door and had an AMAAAZING discussion with Bro New. His wife said that it was meant to be that we were there! She said while watching TV a show about JEsus that she had never seen before came on and then POOF! we knocked on the door and gave her a becausehelives mormon.org card. 

Coincidence!!! NO! Anywho, so we began talking with Bro New. He is such a wonderful and inviting man, but really struggles with depression and other things. We testified from our hearts of the Atonement of Christ. The Spirit was so thick. We read scriptures about how God can turn any weakness into GREAT SPIRITUAL STRENGTH! He was so grateful for the help. He said "Wow Elders, I'm so grateful that you came over here, you gave me Hope"   We seriously just showed up and then the Spirit dumped words into our mouth! It was SO awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Also, Del came over to bring a dinner over to the N's because she is an awesome neighbor (is she a dry mormon or what!) and Sis New fed it to us! Gee does Heavenly Father take care of us or what! I was so grateful, and it confirmed to me the feeling I had that morning when Heavenly Father said "It's okay, it'll all work out! You may not be over at dinner, but I have something even better!" And surely it was even better!

I testified my guts out of the Atonement of Christ. And how we are NEVER alone. Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and His sacrifice, BEING ALONE IS NOT AN OPTION.

Because of Jesus Christ's Atonement we can receive God's help, and indeed, He cannot leave us, it's not in the program! Only we leave Him by disobedience and rebellion. But God will never leave us. The Spirit was so strong. I loved ever second that lesson. One that I will not soon forget. 

We said a closing prayer, I was deeply humbled and grateful that God surely knows His Children and He knew that we were supposed to be there at that time. God's love for Bro N and Sis N was so evident that He hand picked and sent us over there to help. What a blessing. the Lord truly answered my prayer when I asked that we could be "instruments in the hands of God in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, to the knowledge of their redeemer" (mosiah 27:36)

When we were leaving I felt another prompting to ask if there was anyone they knew of that we could visit. Preach my Gospel says "teach when you find, and find when you teach!" So I figured I should ask for referrals. Something that I've tried to do with everyone. They suggested their less active daughter. I asked for an address and he could only remember parts of it. He left the room to call his daughter and ask. We kept talking a bit with Sis N and then Bro N came back.

"So did you talk to her?"

"Yes, just got off the phone, But it was strange because she's the one who called me!"

That. Is. NO. coincidence. We just happened to be there at that time! And his daughter called him LITERALLY the second he left to go call her!!!!!!!!!!

God works in mysterious ways! But it's so obvious that He will never leave us alone. He loves us too much to ever leave us. In fact His entire existence and purpose is "To bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" His entire purpose, all He days 24/7 is help us come back to Him! What A perfect Father!

Our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ have a stubborn love for us, and They'll never leave our side. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
