Sister McKay Dickson: Week 55: SUBWAY miracles?!

Hey y'all! Nothing too crazy, but there were lots of small miracles this week! I am always grateful to witness them, I have been praying for them more and more and either my eyes are just opening to them or the Lord really does give us exactly what we ask for. Anyway here's my email, & I hope you all have a great memorial day!

Things to know:

- I went on exchanges with Sister Nygard and it was awesome! She is such a powerhouse, and probably the funniest ever. We had a great time & saw lots of little miracles!

- We had zone conference this week and it was a really good meeting. I got to learn how to better use the Book of Mormon in my teaching and saw lots of good friends!

- May or may not have driven to chick fil a during our dinner hour after zone conference... it made me happy to be in North again. Also someone that called Sister Skinner and I asked for a visit from the missionaries is getting baptized this weekend. Congrats Sisters I love you!

- We had a non member come to church out of nowhere and Sister Hart and I spoke and then had a lesson with him after church, and now we are teaching Him! His name is Nathan and He is super cool.

- We made someone a new trying to visit a part member family that didn't even live at the address anymore so that was pretty lit! The Lord definitely guides us to find His children in places we wouldn't expect.

- We had a member meal last week and invited our members to think of someone that was struggling while we shared our message. The wife thought of a friend and she came in contact with him this week and he told her that he was in fact going through a hard time. She told him that the only way she gets through hard times is by coming to church, and so yesterday HE CAME TO CHURCH! #Loveshareinvite

- William was supposed to get baptized on Saturday but is still ghosting us :(( Makes me so sad, but its his choice now. We got to celebrate a fun birthday for Sister Belnap anyway so that made up for it.

Stories of the week:

- So this was truly my favorite miracle of the week. On Friday we did district service and then had comp study with the Moscow sisters, and then after we went to grab Subway for lunch (classic) because we had some coupons. There are two subways there in Moscow and one of the sisters asked which one we should go to, and for some reason I felt like we should go to the one that is further away. So I was like let's go to the Blaine Subway and we all hop in our cars and skeet on over. We get there and I'm casually ordering a sandwich, and then I look at the guy making my sandwich and I swear on my LIFE that it is someone I taught in Moscow back in October, but he has a different name tag on. So I thought well maybe its his brother?! And I asked him if he knew Jonas Crothers. He looks up and says "that's me" and I almost lost my mind! Jonas was someone Sister Archibald and I taught and put on date in our first lesson and then we both got transferred less than a week later. He got baptized at the beginning of the year and I thought I would never get to see him again! Needless to say we had a happy reunion there in Subway! He thanked me for all I was doing and said he was so grateful to see me! (Best part was he said he didn't recognize me at first because of my glasses). What a great day it was.

Spiritual thought:

- I was having some ups and downs this week, and I always feel like it's not okay to have bad days because I just want to be happy all the time. But a friend reminded me of how there is opposition in all things, and without the bad days we can't appreciate the good! I was grateful for that, and I'm also really grateful for my ability to see the positive in all things. I take it for granted sometimes, but I've been recognizing it truly is a gift to be able to look for the good in the bad. I'm grateful for my Savior and for Him being the reason I can find so much to be grateful for! I was reading the scriptures and came across a verse that I really needed to hear:

"Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life"

This is actually our mission scripture but it popped up in my Book of Mormon reading at exactly the right moment! I am grateful to be reminded of my calling as a missionary, especially when it can be really easy to get caught up and lose sight of why I'm doing what I'm doing. I have been called of Jesus Christ, and I will gladly declare of Him even if everyone wants to reject me. Because even Him and His apostles were rejected, and I feel honored to stand up for Him and on His side.

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC week!
