Another crazy week this week here in Bermuda! Last pday we took our permit tests because we are going to be driving here in Bermuda! I also have been able to drive a few times and am taking my driving test today, so wish me luck as I drive on the left side of the road haha. After that we were able to go to a beach called elbow beach and it was beautiful!
This week we were able to meet with our miracle friend I mentioned last week. His name is Dennis and he was able to come to church as well. He truly is so prepared. As we met with him he mentioned how he felt like we were just bringing something out of him that he never even knew existed and that he kept thinking about our church a lot more than the one he usual goes to. We helped him realize that the reason he was feeling that way was because of the Spirit!! He is so cool and we can't wait to continue to help him prepare to be baptized in March!
Our friend named Maymay, who working towards baptism at the end of the month is doing well but is very busy and feels that something is holding her back. If you could all pray for her that would be amazing!!
We sadly were not able to meet with the family of 4 I mentioned last week, but we are still excited to help bring the Restored Gospel into their lives!
This week we found some very amazing people and the Lord always puts people in our path. There have been too many experiences to share, but just yesterday we went out to knock and saw a guy working at the gas station across the street that we felt we needed to go talk to. As we did we ended up teaching a lot of his coworkers who also were working at the gas station and they all just flocked to us haha. After that we went to take the bus home and called the bus service to see when one was coming and they said there were no more busses running on that route for the night. We were way too far from home to walk so we called a taxi and our driver was one of the bus drivers that Sister Adhikari has always been wanting to talk to. We were able to get his phone number, and although it wasn't ideal to take the taxi, God had a plan for us to meet him!
We also found out on Thursday that my companion would be heading back to New York... so this week was pretty crazy and she will fly back today... so I am getting a new companion, Sister Snow! She was someone I was told I may come out to Bermuda with when I was first asked if I would come out but I didn't have a passport and she ended up home with a broken foot. She recently got back into the mission after around 6 months of being home and now we are still going to serve here in Bermuda together. We may not always know God's plan, but it is perfect and His timing is perfect. ❤
From my studies this week I wanted to share this scripture:
2 Nephi 4:4
"4 For the Lord God hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence."
So many people in the world today look at the commandments as restrictions or things we "can or cannot do", but they truly are blessings in our lives to help us stay safe and pure. Our Heavenly Father never gives us a commandment that he won't provide a way for us to keep and promise us blessings in return. I invite all of you to think of one commandment you may struggle with and strive to keep it more fully this week(:
Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!
