Hello my beautiful family!

I hope you know I love you all!

Welcome Spring with joy!!

This week was FULL. Both of trials and miracles. 

I want to share when I felt closest to my Savior this week. We had a former investigator, D., call us up this week. He is going through such difficult trials. He had dug himself in a hole so to speak with his choices...and his call to us was a humble cry for help. When we met with him on Saturday, he seemed empty, we could tell he felt hopeless. He expressed to us that he felt lost, too far gone for any rescue. My heart hurt for him! But as we talked, we began to testify of the most important truth...the infinite saving power of the Atonement. We were FILLED with the spirit as we promised him that his burdens could be lifted through the Savior. That there are NO lost causes. That there is always hope! We felt impressed to share the scripture, Moroni 7:41, "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the POWER of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." Christ is all-powerful! Though his choices may always be remembered by men, and he may have to deal with those consequences the remainder of his life, as we learned in conference, there are no spiritual scars! Christ's sacrifice can leave us clean. New! We can change. As we left, he said he DID have a hope after speaking with us. He had a flicker of faith! He committed to be baptized at the end of June. I KNOW that there are no lost causes. You are not a lost cause! There is hope! Remember to cry out to the Savior. He is here!

We were led by the spirit so much this week! On Thursday, we were in an appointment with our investigator, T., and it was time to leave to make it to our meeting with Bishop Waggonner on time. However, we felt prompted to stay a little longer. So we took our time, finished up with T., and were running about 15 minutes late to our meeting. Just as we pulled up to the church, a young man approached us. He had walked to the church from the High school and had just arrived there when we had pulled up. His name was N., and we started talking to him. He said he had come to the church to feel peace...he felt a lot of conflict inside, and wanted to feel close to God. We gave him a Book of Mormon, brought him into the church, and the elders gave him a blessing and began teaching him. The timing of it just blew me away! The church is almost ALWAYS empty, but the Lord guided him and us to meet at the right time. Now he has a baptismal date for mid-may!

I hope these miracles I've shared help you feel how much God loves his children. He is constantly guiding and planning for us, whether we recognize it or not. I know this to be true! Things always work out. 

Sister Brimley is the greatest!

Have a wonderful week everyone! You are loved!

I milked a cow this week.  No really!
