Sister McKay Dickson: Week 23: I peed my pants...

Hey everyone!

This week had some ups & downs again, but that's life right? It's crazy how much trial can strengthen your testimony, I am growing so much, and I am so grateful for the important lessons that I'm learning to help me better trust in my Father in Heaven!!! I had so many prayers answered and saw lots of miracles so let's get right into it:

Things to know:

-Sister Archibald and I found 3 new people to teach in one day and it was so awesome!

-One of them told us they weren't interested and then we shared The Restoration and he said actually I want to learn more & come to church with ya'll!! Miracles!

-We are super close to putting a dad & a son on date for baptism, the mom is a member and the son really wants to get baptized but his dad us just a little hesitant. So pray for Mario & Isaac Torres please.

-Russell hasn't been responding to us about meeting for lessons sadly, but we are just hoping it was a busy weekend. Pray for him as well so we can keep helping him progress! :)

Stories of the week:

Another miracle we saw had to do with a lady named Patty these other sisters referred to us. We had been texting her and hadn't been able to set up a time to meet yet, but God does not cease to be a God of miracles! For some reason we felt like we wanted to go to A & W for dinner that night (Seriously the first time I've ever craved that place) and while walking inside we said hi to a cute old lady with her car windows down. She says her name is Patty and we were so shook! We told her we were the sisters that had been trying to meet with her and she couldn't believe that God led us to her like that! It was so amazing. We shared how much God loves her and set up another time to meet and she said her son wanted to learn too!! So awesome.

I don't have a ton of other stories but Sister Archi & I have some really good laughs together hahaha. All I gotta say is make sure your companion isn't scared of shadows or else she might scream if you get out of bed at night. I have never laughed so hard from scaring someone, and it was completely by accident!!! We may or may not have both peed our pants.

Spiritual thought:

This week I wanted to talk about personal revelation! Yesterday was stake conference and a general authority seventy came (Elder Wright) and spoke! It was sooo awesome. He shared about how a lot of times we don't recognize personal revelation when it comes. But He shared how if we are following God's commandments and trying to do good, He will lead us. The key word is trying. NONE of us are perfect (the hard lesson that the perfectionist in me has been learning lately haha), but God will magnify our "trying" and guide us through personal revelation. You might not always recognize it in the moment, but you will always be able to see His hand. So I invite you to trust that He is with you and He is leading you, and I can promise that you WILL see those answers and miracles come!

I LOVE YA'LL. YOU'S THE BEST (inside joke with some of my friends here, but it still applies) Have a good week and don't forget to pray! :))

Love,

Sister Dickson!
