Another wonderful week under our belts! I
am left in complete disarray each week when I get to think about and see all of
the blessings and miracles that Heavenly Father has given me and allowed me to
witness or be apart of.
Yes, there was a storm that hit us in
Oklahoma this week and there were tornadoes around the state and the area.
There was one Tuesday night just out of our area about 5 miles away from where
we were at but thanks to God and His goodness, nobody was hurt by any of the
storms and all is well. We were very well taken care of and stayed with the
Skinners until the storm passed. We didn't even have to get into the shelter
this time ! #blessings
Yesterday was the highlight of the great
week. Last week, Reggie came to church but didn't make it until after the
Sacrament was administered and Kavion didn't come at all. So this week we
really focused on getting them to Church and making sure it was in time for
them to feel all of the blessings of Church attendance and the sacredness of
partaking of the emblems of the Sacrament.
In preparations for this we; prayed
earnestly, talked with them and set a sure plan, planned for a ride from
faithful members (what a blessing to have their support!) and gave reminder
calls the night before and wake up calls the morning of. Not only did both of
them make it this week but Reggie's sister also came, who we had never before
had any contact with, and a family in the ward had a daughter who invited her
friend to come and Tessa came also. Heavenly Father didn't just grant us our
desires in having Reggie and Kavion come but blessed us with so much more than
that! The work truly is so good and God is even far greater.
Miracles, miracles, miracles. They are
everywhere! I pray that we might all be blessed with the spiritual eyes to see
them all around us.
Keep the faith,
Elder Ricks
