This week was one full of prayer and tears. Christ's grace truly works miracles and fills out lives with peace. The strength He gives us is so hard to understand, but He is always sure to get us through any trial we are brought to.
The start of it was amazing! We had our miracles on Monday that I wrote about last week. And Tuesday were interviews. I am so blessed with an amazing mission president. He gave me some wonderful advice and I always feel so enlightened and ready to work after talking with him. You can just tell the spirit leads and guides him. It is wonderful, because I know when he gives me any assignment, whatever it be, it is coming directly from the Lord. Being a missionary is wonderful like that. No matter what, I know I am exactly where I need to be, and that is so comforting.

Wednesday I got to go on exchanges in Roswell with Sister Slade! It was so fun to be there with my mission momma:) It was her last exchange before she goes home! I basically got my wish of serving with her again. PS mom and dad she's coming to California for my homecoming. It's planned. Anyway, it was so good being with her. We get together and just talk a million miles a minute. We got to teach some amazing people that night and do some super fun service with another church. I LOVED it.
Thursday after we made the switch back from exchanges, my zone leaders notified me that my recent convert in Borger, Janie, had passed. It was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. I couldn't believe she was just gone. But I know her spirit lives on! I know receiving the gospel was her last task she needed to accomplish before ended her mortal life. She passed not even 3 months after her baptism. It is heartbreaking anytime I think about it. I don't think I have ever cried so hard. I just ask that you all pray for her husband Doug! He needs prayers and love right now. I know without a doubt that she is still with me. She is now blessing my life, as another angel, helping me bring others the gospel of Jesus Christ that she loves so much. She truly was an amazing woman, and I was so blessed to take part in her coming closer to Christ. I will love her forever!
The rest of the week was good. I have never felt so close to my Heavenly Father. It's funny how that works. Our lowest moments can easily turn into our brightest through the love He has for us. He brings me peace, He gets me through it all.
I LOVE YOU ALL! I hope you know how much I love you!
