I have a testimony that Heavenly Father hears our prayers! A couple weeks ago my mom told me that Sydney Harris (Dad's friend Randy's daughter) was coming to this mission and all I wanted was to be her companion but I knew the chances were super slim, like pretty impossible. I had been in my area for 4 transfers already so if I were to train I would be washing a new area and sister Hay and I had only been together a transfer so it was even more likely that I would just stay with her in 4th ward. Well last week when we got called to train together in 4th ward and stay STL's I kept praying that Sister Harris would get sent to us if it was in Heavenly Fathers will. On Tuesday that transfer van was 2 hours late and I was getting super anxious. I was talking to one of the sisters leaving when a little white van drove up and a girl with blonde hair looking super confused got out. I RECOGNIZED IT WAS SYDNEY!! I ran to her and gave her the biggest hug. She was the only english greenie coming down so I knew she was in our companionship. She has been such a miracle and make us laugh all the time. She is super prepared and right from the start was an awesome teacher. I'm going to enjoy this time with her because trios never last long in our mission.
This week we were super busy which was awesome! We taught a bunch of lessons and saw some pretty cool things happen from following the spirit. There were 2 days this week that we forgot our area book with all the addresses for members and former investigators and somehow every time a lesson would fall through and we needed to stop by a former I would remember the street name and get close enough that we could recognize the house and there was always someone home willing to hear our message. I was super stressed this week and I know Heavenly Father was really helping me out and trying to give me guidance and comfort.
A scripture I have been focusing on this week is Mosiah 2:20-22
20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another—
21 I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants.
22 And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.
I am so thankful for everything God has given me. I am constantly overwhelmed with the love he shows for us and although the world is absolutely crazy right now I know He is aware of us and if we follow our Savior we will be blessed. I know there is a plan laid out for all of us and the trials and heartache is for our benefit and growth.
I love you all so much!
Love,
Sister Nye
