Aloha journal,
So today is p-day. It ended up being a very beautiful day. The sun was out. We finished our shopping by 11:00 then went down to Key Center to go email. Winter Creek Elders...Sparks and Peck. We did not really to talk to them today. We did not get to meet with the other sisters today. So we came back to Belfair and stopped by the wood carving place in Allen but they all were too big to get so then we just came back home to the North Shore. I put on the Legacy and wrote a lot of letters the rest of p-day. We had dinner at the Landakers and sis Alop was there too. So we tracted right by there. We did a few houses and no luck. Then we went to Skipper Ct. We see these people and they see us and then walk away. I get a feeling to turn around and there is this Spanish mom, daughter and son. I just start to talk to them. The daughter has to translate for us. They take us to the back of their trailer to talk. They start telling us how much they need God. Then she tells us their story. Their father just went to prison a few weeks ago. They are by themselves. They’ve been trying to get closer to God for help and here we walk in right at 7:55. The spirit was so strong the whole time. Just telling us what to say to this family. We end up giving our number to them and I got their info. Juana Castaneda. I seen them all in white as a family. Crazy thing they remember the Spanish elders when they knocked last trasfer but their dad was home and did not want anything to do with religion. Now the mom is sending her kids to any church to get them closer to God. Now they are prepared and want to listen. We talked for a long time. The mom said a beautiful prayer just pouring out her heart. The spirit was so strong I started to cry anyway I did not understand it all. She kept on saying how greatful she is for us to come by. I just love the way the spirit works cause we had no idea where to tract. I just said turn here. Park here. But funny cause we parked further up the hill, but a guy was looking at us a creepy way and I said lets drive. Then we parked closer to Skipper Ctr. In the middle of the prayer I got the feeling to give the daughter a Book of Mormon to read and promised her the book will help her come closer to God. I told her to read it it will make everything better. This is my 7:55 Monday miracle. So right away we got in contact with the Spanish Elders. Elder Clifford. I told them everyting. I hope it all works out for them so they can baptise this family. ANd it turned out that the Spanish Elders planned to be in Belfair tomorrow. And we needed them to come as soon as they could. Cause they are planning to move by Friday. The Lord knows. This is his work. And I am so greatful to be a part of it. That was just a small experience. The spirit guides you.
Then we were going to try to see Krysta Porter again. She is a true LARC. She is les-active and a recent convert too. We are trying over and over to meet her. I left notes. This was going to be our last try. We knocked and knocked...no one came. Then we started to walk away and then her husband came out and told us she is coming down. We had an awesome talk with Krysta and we are going back next week. She is way funny. I know we are going to get along so well.
This has been so great for a p-day. This past transer and few weeks I feel that the Lord was testing me out here to see how I will work. My comp asked me yesterday how do I not get frustrated here. The work is so slow and the area is just so big. I told her this is the Lord’s work he knows and I need faith that he will lead me to them or them to me. I just got to keep on working hard and to be happy with what I get. Now all the hard work I did last transfer is being payed off just from this wonderful day. I have grown here so much from Belfair. I love it so much. I am so happy I can help my fellow missionaries (Spanish). This is the time and work. It is coming. What a day. I love being a missionary.
Love sis Casey
