Dear everyone, :)
I am so amazed at how the Lord works. It's been one of those, "eh," kind of weeks, and on Saturday, it was rough because we didn't find a single soul who was home. We were feeling a little down and discouraged (it was Satan working on us!!!!) on Saturday night, but that's not the end of the story....because guess why?! Sunday was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! We had 14 less actives at church, plus Jay (our only investigator at the moment...I know--sad day), plus a couple of potential investigators whom we are hoping to start teaching!!!!! We have never had so many less actives at church before!!! It really helped that I sang in Sacrament Meeting yesterday, so there were a couple that were sure to come especially because of that...but it giving them that opportunity to partake of the Sacrament, get to know the members, and feel the Spirit that is there. SO exciting!! :)
So, you know how it snowed last week? Yeah, it lasted for really just that day...but today it snowed again. And it is supposed to be below zero for the majority of this week. With several inches of snow. Good thing we have a car!!!!!!! It's kinda weird that it's almost Christmas time again... :/ !!!
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is so real. And the enabling power of grace is what allows us to do everything. Even the very moment we bow our heads in prayer, we are using the Atonement. Never forget that. Never forget Him. With Him, we can accomplish miracles.
Thank you all for your prayers and your service to your God. There is no greater work.
Love,
Sister Budge
