Week 7: Prayers answered

It's a beautifully rainy day here in Centreville, Virginia! :)
Not too crazy of a week besides one day of prayers ANSWERED...
WEEK REVIEW:
Tuesday: well Tuesday, interesting day, usually we have District meeting, but it was transfers ( I get to stay here 
😊 ) so we searched for people mostly. We were not able to find much but we had a phenomenal lesson with Sofia! Sofia is 13 and I swear she is 16! We love her. We asked her to read the scriptures with her dad, who is a recent person who just got baptized before I got here, and she was able to read about Lehi's Dream and the Tree of Life. So we talked about how we can make good choices to be led to the tree of life, which the fruits are most desirable (Eternal Life)! We then Talked about the Steps in the Doctrine of Christ! (faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring the end) and we talked a lot about how Prayer is really important in this process and having a stronger relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! In her prayer at the end of the lesson she said that she knew the Book of Mormon is true!!!! YAYY! she's almost to baptism!! <3
Wednesday: I think this day we saw the bottom of a car on fire passing us on the other side of the road..!!!! we went to the neighbor hood near the road and after a while we heard fire trucks coming.. haha crazy! we went to a members house who was a mansion.. (I've sent a picture of this huge mansion in the trees and I finally got to go inside!) She asked if either of us play the piano...... ahhh YES I DO!! I got to play one of my songs for her on her grand piano that barely gets to be played!! in a huge room in her hotel of a mansion house! :0 :)) so beautiful!
We also had an awesome lesson with Elizabeth this night and her husband was able to come in and we read the first 2 chapters in the Book of Mormon with them! Her husband like basically bore his testimony on the Holy Ghost!

THURSDAY: MIRACLE DAY!! We prayed all week to have 2 new people to teach and today it happened! today we taught Naim, a sweet man who moved from Afghanistan and can speak some English but he is so sweet to us and said he wanted to read the whole Book of Mormon in Farsi (his native language). The other new person we are teaching is Savannah! she is also 13 and is so cute! I love her! Her parents were actually baptized last January! And we are teaching her now because she is now ready to take the discussions! :)

Friday: not too much happened Friday but it was good!!

Saturday: We were able to have another lesson with Elizabeth about the Plan of Salvation and it was GREAT! :) she’s AWESOME! <3

Lesson Learned from this week:
Who do you represent?

Who do you LOVE? 
Answer to all of them J E S U S  C H R I S T :)
