Answers to Prayers

Funny: I got humbled a bit this week. We went over a member’s house for dinner and he was telling us that he had made his dinner really spicy so not to take too much. Well all I heard was "I don't believe you can handle spicy food". After loading up my plate with a small mountain of food. I dove in, I inhaled the first plate and got half way through the second when all at once the spice hit me like a brick wall. My eyes teared up and my mouth started smoking. I was finally able to breath after half a gallon of milk and lots of bread haha.

Spiritual: The Lord is so very mindful of all of our prayers. There was a family in our area that we had been trying to visit but for one reason or another we never had the opportunity to, until the Lord was ready for us. We had just finished an appointment and we were anxious to go home and get some lunch. We drove by and the thought came that a shorter way home would take us by their house. As we drove by, we decided that we might as well stop. A man opened the door and tears started forming in his eyes. He told us that earlier that day he had prayed that we would stop by. Unfortunately, he was about to head off to work but we rescheduled and are excited to go back and get to know him!

Where I am at: It has been a great week out here among the cowboys. It is for sure different but I think we are making the adjustment well. There is so much work to do here it is incredible. The Spirit has been moving here for a long time and it is now beginning to show. We have found so many new people in the past few weeks and this week we are hopeful to help some of them to commit to baptism.
