Larry.....5/6/19

This week was pretty awesome! On Wednesday, we felt like we should go to this lady's house. Her name is sister Rudd and she's been a member for 50 or so years, but her husband isn't a member. He has Parkinson's disease. We walked in and had a good conversation with her and her daughter that was visiting. After about 30 mins of talking, Homer, her husband, started having pains and a lot of shaking and was obviously in a lot of discomfort. Her daughter turned to me with tears in her eyes and asked me to give her father a blessing. The spirit was so strong in the room as the blessing was being given. I know that that is why we needed to be there at that time. After the blessing, Homer was completely calm. 

I was also on exchanges this week with a missionary who's very "strict to the rules".  If we didn't plan to go somewhere in the morning, then he wouldn't go. I felt, in the middle of the day, that we should go visit a new member who lived in a nursing home. So we drove there and he just didn't understand why we would go here. When we arrived, she had a friend there who we gave a Book of Mormon to, and set up a return appointment. After the lesson, we met someone in their truck who we made an appointment with. When we follow the spirit, we are always right where we need to be.

On Thursday, I felt like I should send a text to a member who's struggling with addictions and fighting temptation.  I sent Helaman 5:12 and I got no response.

Yesterday, after we gave him a blessing, he said he was texting his dealer to buy dope and then a text from the missionaries appeared right at that moment. He didn't end up buying it. 

I also caught a lizard and named him Larry. 

I love y'all and have a good week!
