Awesome Week!
Hey, everyone! How are you doing? I hope you all are good! Things are going great here! we had a really good week! It was full of ups and downs but it was good! on Friday we had 5 appointments set up and 2 of them we has gotten members to go with us but ALL of them stood us up!! We walked ALL OVER TOWN!!! My body hurt that day and the next and the next! We must have walked like 15 miles, it was a lot. But I know that the Lord blesses his missionaries because so really cool things happened that day toward the end of the day. So we were walking to our 4th appointment of the day and we had to buzz in because its like this huge apartment complex for older people,and of course we didn't get an answer. (by this time we had already walked all over town and we were bummed because we walked all this way and she wasn't even there!) so we decided to go in and use the bathroom and fill our water bottles, so we did that and then we went out of the building a different way that we normally go. all of a sudden Sister Z**** was like "Oh that's Sister Short" a member from the ward. But as we got closer she was like maybe that not her, and she asked what her name was, and it wasn't sister Short, it was a lady name Susan. She was super nice and before we could even say anything she said that she wanted us to come by some time! we were all so surprised! that never happens! We asked her if right then was a good time and she said that it was a great time so we went up and taught her part of the first lesson right then. during the lesson the spirit was so strong, she kept saying she felt like she wanted to cry and that she felt so much better now that we came to talk with her. we set her with a baptism date right then in that lesson! It was amazing! i have never experienced that before, we talked with her, taught her a lesson, and set a baptism date all with in a hour! it was so awesome! then on the way home for dinner we met this amazing Brazilian family that said that they were looking for a Church. A complete family! those are hard to come by in the down town Ithaca area, let alone a family that wants to be taught! all of them came to Church yesterday and I am so excited to see how they will progress! I will keep you posted, Love you guys! Sister Cox
