Sister Hallie Mae Kapp: So Many Miracles!

Hello everyone! This week was sooo good! We saw so many tender mercies and miracles.

On Tuesday we had District Council and I was in charge of the Doctrine. We talked all about the importance of baptism and how our efforts and loving this gospel will keep us on the covenant path.

On Wednesday we had our weekly lesson with this older lady in the ward that we're kinda reteaching everything to and she prayed for us for the first time! It was so amazing.

Friday evening we started our exchange with our traveling stls. I was with Sister Jensen. I learned so much those 2 days! We talked to everyone in the McDonald's drive through which was new for me haha. We used the bus system pretty much all day Saturday.

So after we got on the bus we realized we were going the wrong way so we got off at the next stop and while waiting for the right bus we met this awesome guy named Gabriel. Turns out he talked to missionaries a few months ago in California and has a Book of Mormon. We were able to talk with and teach him all the way to his stop. We didn't have a chance to set up a future lesson so we got his phone number but when we tried to text him it didn't work! But luckily last night Sister Esplin noticed that we may have just typed in the area code in wrong and so we changed it and it worked! Two amazing miracles!

Another funny bus experience is when our bus just wasn't showing up and the next one wasn't for 23 minutes. So we had a decision to make. Wait or start the 26 minute walk back. So we decided to pray and at the end of my prayer the bus comes, slows down, but passes us! So we walked haha.

Last month we only had one new person that we were teaching but this week we got 5! And we have lessons set up with most of them. I am so grateful!

Our zone got 100 new people this week so we got permission to play sand volleyball today to celebrate and it was SO fun!

Spiritual thought:

Last night in our mission zoom call we discussed a talk from our beloved prophet Russell M. Nelson who just passed away. The talk is, "Christ Is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains" and I want to share a quote that I love from it,

"act in faith. What would you do if you had more faith? Think about it. Write about it. Then receive more faith by doing something that requires more faith."

Faith is an action so we need to put in the effort to increase it. I know that I have truly seen that as I have pushed myself and have put trust in God.

Love you all!
