HELLO MY LOVES!
Thank you for sending me emails every week and keeping me updated on your lives! I LOVE getting them, so keep them coming my way! Sister Sosa is a G. We have way too much fun- when it's appropriate of course! Turns out our apartment is haunted... Without all the details, we woke up to strange noises, our things being thrown everywhere throughout our kitchen, items being moved, and a knife by my bed.... the joys of Satan hating you being on a mission :-) Alright alright, so turns out... missionary work isn't always that easy! We had lots of doors slammed in our face, many "no thank you's" and tons of pass along cards handed out with no call back. I was starting to get a little bummed out, but then I received a tender mercy at the end of the week: It all started after I came up with a plan called 'Project 28'. We have around 28 days left in the transfer, and there are so many empty streets and areas on our Fort Meade Map. So I looked at Sister Sosa and said, "For the next 28 days we will go to a different street every day. Make a list of what street we will be at on what day so that Heavenly Father knows where we will be, and place those who he has prepared for us in our path. 28 new streets, 28 new places. We will fill up this Fort Meade board." So Friday we started on our adventure Project 28! We were driving home after a long, exhausting and unsuccessful day of 'Project 28' finding Saturday night. I was so determined to find that one person Heavenly Father had prepared for us to meet that night on that street, but we found no one and I was pretty sad. After a hard week, I was certain we would find something to make up for it. Maybe I'm not doing it right? Maybe the Lord prepared someone elsewhere for us? As I was looking out the window feeling like all week I didn't succeed at my job as a missionary, I saw something magical; my very first firefly :) I saw so many of them just lighting up the trees, the bushes, the grass; everywhere! I realized that Heavenly Father is aware of me. He knows my efforts and my feelings. He knew I would be there to see that firefly; something I have always dreamed of seeing! And you know what? He is preparing someone, right now, this very moment, on one of those 28 streets, i'm sure of it. Seeing something as simple yet magical as a firefly just reminded me how amazing Heavenly Father and his creations are. He took the time to create something so little and simple, knowing that it would bring joy and magic to people here on Earth. So amazing. Every leaf, stream, breeze and firefly- he created. What a wonderful thing it is to see his creations and feel his love. He is always showing his love for us by giving tender mercies, even if they are as simple as seeing a firefly. I promise that he is aware of our thoughts and the deepest desires of our hearts. He is constantly blessing us and giving us reminders he is there; we just need to look for them. Look for those simple moments this week as you go about your lives. You'll be shocked at how much he gives us to smile about :) With love always, Sister Montgomery [email protected]
