A week of miracles

Aloha Ohana!!

This week... was oh so great!

I don't have much time but I have a cool miracle story (one out of many!) from this week! Sometimes I wish I could just email you my journal... But that would probably just be a mega overload!

This last week, Sister Mount and I had lots of time on chat, which means lots of time to contact investigators. I have a good friend that I met on chat in December named Jeff, and he was recently baptized but struggles with addiction. When I met him on chat, he was in a super low place, but it has just been a blessing to see overtime how much he has grown in this roller coaster he has been on in his life with jail and parole, etc. But he has so much faith, despite it all. This last month, he has hit the low again, and has been struggling to overcome his addiction. I felt prompted one night to email him a video called "Hope of God's Light," which I know he has seen before. The next morning I received an email from him. He said that when he got my email he was with his friends and he was joking around and said he was going to play them the video. He did it to be funny, but at the end, he said they were all in tears. He said one of his friends even asked if she could come to church with him and learn more about the church! THAT is the power in sharing what we know. We never know who will be touched by our short testimonies, and God's light :) That is something that I am learning here at the VC. Everyone, no matter who they are has some of that light in them. Our job as members isn't to give them crazy spiritual experiences so they can find God, it is to help illuminate that light that is already within them. That light is real. 

I love you all :) Be a light!!
