You are the Miracle!

Well it was another great week here in Portugal! I will just start from the beginning:)

Tuesday: We had a lesson with this lady that Sister Foote had taught and she had this crazy dog that literally was attacking me the whole entire lesson trying to get to Sister Shipp.  I got bit and slobbered on, but the lesson was really good and the spirit was there. When we left we had a good laugh:) 
Then we found this awesome lady with her new born baby! It was great!

Wednesday: We were walking down the street and got attacked by these caterpillars! haha. So it might just be the season for caterpillars here, but they hang down from the trees attached to these webs and if you are walking under the trees you run into millions of them. 
We had a rough day with some rough lessons, but then we got to visit L- because they had just gotten home from their trip and cute Lil- was soo excited to see us and it made the whole day worth it:)

Thursday: Zone Conference.  It was so good. I learned a lot! We watched this video about this guy named Nick who was born without arms and legs. He talked about how he always prayed and asked God to change his situation or give him a miracle, but then he said something that really hit me. He said, "If God didn't give you a miracle, you are the miracle." That made me think about life and our struggles, trials, and difficulties. I thought about how we sometimes pray to be out of a situation or to change a situation or ask for our situation to be easier and sometimes things don´t go as we hope, but Heavenly Father doesn´t change it because you are HIS MIRACLE and He will use you to help His work grow and you can be the miracle for others. He will only give us what we can handle and as we fight our fight we will be changed into the person He wants us to be and He will use us to help others see miracles. 

Friday: Nothing too crazy happened. We sat on a bench to make some phone calls and this HUGE spider crawled on my arm. We also did some missionary work with one of our members.

Saturday: It was Jorge's baptism.  The elders have been working with this guy Jorge for so long and he was baptized! It was awesome:) It was so cool to watch the Atonement of Jesus Christ really change his life and help him. He is awesome.  Then at 7:30 our zone leaders called us and challenged us to find 2 new investigators before the end of the night. So we said a prayer and promised the Lord that we would do everything to find 2 new investigators and asked for His help. Then we worked super hard and we were able to find 2 people that really were interested in our message and are letting us come back. I know that when we really put our faith in the Lord and do everything we can to show our faith the Lord will bless us and help us. 

Well I got to go, but it was a great week! Thanks for all the love and support:) Remember you are a MIRACLE:) 

com amor,
Sister Sampson
