Tracting

    This last week was a super good week! We found a lot of people to teach from tracting, and we had some overall awesome spiritual experiences. We found out this week that Elder Nordquist and Elder Draper will be leaving, and I'm staying and getting Elder Allphin! I'm so sad to have a change, but I'm also excited to work with Elder Allphin.

    One of the spiritual experiences this week came from a priesthood blessing. An inactive family in the ward gave us a call, and asked us to come give a blessing to their 4 year old daughter Roselee. She is blind in her left eye, and she was going to Oklahoma City in a few days to have a surgery that would hopefully help her see better. I was lucky enough to be able to give the blessing, and in it we blessed her that her eyesight would be totally restored and she would be healed with a fast recovery. When we said that, she yelled during the blessing "I'm gonna be okay!" Later in the week after her surgery, we got a text from the member. Roselee came out of surgery saying to the doctors and everyone around that "my glasses see better." She can now see perfectly! 

    In our daily planning session one morning we felt prompted to stop by a non active member, named Jocelyn. We've never been able to get contact with her. But we stopped by at night and she answered and let us in! We sat down in the living room with her and her husband, who isn't a member. We got to know them a bit, and then we shared 3 Nephi 11 from The Book of Mormon with them. We talked about ways to have one on one experiences with the Savior in our everyday lives, and then we challenged them to read the rest of it. They said they would! As we left, Jocelyn grabbed us by the hand and thanked us for coming over. She started to cry and said it's funny that we came over today, because something very challenging happened and she needed support. It's so cool to see how much God cares about His children!

    While we were tracting this week, we were able to find 3 new people and teach them all right on their doorstep. We shared with them The Book of Mormon, and we've been trying to share 3 Nephi 11 with them. That account is so powerful, and is such an amazing testimony of Christ's love for each and every one of us. It's awesome to see a person feel the spirit when we explain it and read some of it to them. If you havent read it in awhile I challenge yall to read it! Love yall!

Love, Elder Ryan
