Sister Ricker

another week already, holy smokes!!!

so, hmmm….where to begin. we had so many people at church on sunday. a whole family of 5, and three other investigators. it was awesome. one of our investigators came late cause he showed up at his fellowshippers house ready to go to church and they slept in so he walked by himself. that was pretty cool to hear. (not that his fellowshippers slept in, but that he walked and came on his own)

Heavenly Father is definitely providing us with a ton of people to teach. so the coolest thing. we were at wal-mart last week and from behind, someone said “hey! are you the sister missionaries that are going to come teach me!” Holy Cow!!! wal-mart really does have everything. of course we said yes, before we even saw who we were commiting to teach. we quickly turned around and saw someone who we have been praying to be able to teach. he is awesome, he’s been to church a ton of times over the years, with his wife. that was pretty exciting.

oh day last week we parked our car at the church and spent the day walking. well at the end of the night we got our car and were driving home. about half way home i noticed a something flapping in the wind stuck to our side mirror. it was the name and address of a person interested in learning a little more. see, i told y’all, sticky notes are amazing!!! they are a missionary’s best friend.

we met her yesterday, she is awesome.

thanksgiving was good. we had dinner with a great family who invited over several members of the ward that didnt really have a place to go. there was one lady how didnt make it. we love her and were sad to see she didnt come. so we stopped by after and brought her some leftovers. and it was really cool. she was kind of down, not really having the best thanksgiving but we got to talking and we ended up on the subject of the Godhead which she said she didnt really understand and she said the didnt think God even had a body “what would he need one of these for? it would just get in the way” anyways, we were able to testify of God and the love that He has for us and how we were made in His image and how could He have and image. we talked for a while about that and how much He wants to hug us when we return home again. without a body He would be so distanced from us, He wants no distance between us, we are His children, He wants us to be able to understand Him, to know Him. to someday see Him. He has a body, a perfect glorified body!!! He is real and He lives and so does Jesus Christ.

anyways she said that nobody had explained it to her like that and now she believes. really i think she just never listened before. but, whatever it is, she understands a little more about who her Heavenly Father is.

i love the gospel!!! it makes so much sense.
