Week 25

 Hello Everyone!


I hope you are well and good! I, as usual have been busy! It seems that way here. I am grateful that we always have more to do than what we can get done. This week will be a very busy week since we have Zone Conference in Salina, which is almost 3 hours away, on Wednesday and our regular District Correlation Meeting (DMC) on Thursday in Topeka, an hour and about 20 minutes away. So these meetings take the most of two days! That's okay because they are usually REALLY GOOD meetings!

I think I told you about our 21 Day Challenge. Well, if not, it is where we select several names of less active members of our branch and pray for them for 21 days straight, morning and night, fast at least one time, and then invite them to church. We also do other things to contact them during the 21 days. Anyway, the Lord blessed a couple of these people we have been praying for. Two of them came to church and one was baptized. The Lord does hear our prayers and can touch the hearts of those we can't seem to touch. We have just started on another 21 day challenge!
It's amazing how the Lord works! 

We were asked several weeks ago by our mission president to write 5 things each day for a week that we had seen the hand of the Lord in our lives. After that week was finished, we kept writing the 5 things everyday since. One day I especially remember was a day when a lady in our branch had asked us for a ride. We gave her a ride and she mentioned thet one of my headlights was out. I thanked her for telling me and kind of forgot about it for several days. I eventually got a replacement, and since I had watched my sons, at 3 different times, to put in a new bulb, I figured I could do it myself. So I got my screwdriver and light and went to my car. I got the hood up and looked where the light was. I could see the wires that went to the light. I didn't know if they pulled out or how to get them undone. I had the idea to call Walmart and see how much they charged for changing a headlight. They said $10. T o me that was a no brainer, Walmart would change my light. So I went right over.They changed the one light I had told them about and then they said that the other one was not working either. They ended up replacing the two headlights. I was very happy it didn't cost very much. 

We had made an appointment to see a couple in our branch the day after my lights were fixed. They have a 45 minute drive to church on Sundays, so we had a 45 minute drive to their house. We got there about 7:00in the evening. We had a very good visit. In fact we enjoyed our visit so much we didn't leave until about 9:00. When we left it was raining. not rain like a hard Utah rain, but like it was raining buckets! My wipers were going as fast as they could and were barely able to keep up with the rain. It was also dark out by this time. I was driving and could hardly see the road! It took us much longer to get home than it had taken us to get there. Thank goodness I had just gotten my lights fixed the day before! I know the Lord was protecting us and watching out for us that night. 

Some days we get more than 5 times where we have seen the hand of the Lord in our day. When we constantly have His spirit with us we can really see how much and how often he is intervening in our lives. If we aren't watching or taking note, we will miss some of the ways he is with us every day. I'd like to invite you to evaluate your day, today and every day so that you can see/feel the Lord intervening in your daily life. These are miracles. Live worthy of these miracles!

Love,
SIster Tuha

First Day at the MTC

Image
Mom just finished her first day at the MTC. She said that is definitely a special place. she saw several Tongan elders there (at least she thinks they were Tongan) anyway. She was thinking that just a few weeks ago that would have been her grandson there! She did see her brother’s so, Brandon today! She got to talk to him in the cafeteria for a little while. That was nice for both of them !  She said It was so interesting that their district (9 single sisters) were instructed by a sister who is about 21 years old and has been back from her mission for not quite a year. Mom said she was such a good teacher!    The other instructor was a young man who had just become a father for the first time. He has been teaching at the MTC for 5 or 6 years.  Pretty much ever since he got back from his mission. He was also very good. Mom had their first lessons on Preach my Gospel today. She said it's a very inspired book.  She is looking forward to the devotional tomorrow....

Week 69?

  Hello Everyone! It's been a busy week again! This week we did clean checks again. We have 15 apartments to check in two cities. It usually takes us 2 days to complete them. We also dress up to lighten the anxiety involved in clean checks, both the Elders and Sisters apartments being checked and us checking them. Last time we checked apartments we dressed as bunnies. There were a couple of Elders who didn't have the best attitudes or clean apartments. So, this time before we went out we decided to pray that they would have good attitudes and very clean apartments. We went as referee's and only had to give 2 penalties! A traveling violation (Elders were late getting to their apartment) and a Technical because it caused us to be later for our next appointment. The Elders laughed at our novice attempts to give the right signals for the penalties. Their apartment was very clean! So were all the rest of the apartments we checked! The attitudes were great! We will always remembe...

Week 2

  Hi Everyone! This last week we did a lot of visiting members.  We are trying to get a list of the inactive members to visit, but our branch clerk/secretary is technology challenged. He's doing his best.... The temperatures here last week were pretty warm. We had one day at 70 degrees. Then this morning I had to scrape ice off my window in order to get to Seminary  at 6:00AM . It's supposed to be in the 50's today. When I was coming home the sun was coming up. It was a beautiful sunrise! The Lord is preparing us for a great day! Today, even though it was "P" day I did a route for Meals on Wheels.  They were short on drivers and called to see if I could help. So I did. I don't mind doing this because I get to know people and I get to know the town of Burlington better. We were studying in 1st Nephi this week and came across one of my favorite scriptures. It's 1Nephi  17:13  "And I will be a light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before...
