Dear Chicago : So Many Things

Family and friends!

Well, well, well what happened this week.

Tom, firefly, glow bugs, fainting man, Tammy back in date, contacting testifying about the Book of Mormon, sisters conference,

So many cool, weird, powerful and spiritually uplifting things happened haha.

We had another sisters conference! There is nothing more awesome then getting a whole bunch of girls together, have no idea why, but it's so true! The spirit was so strong there! I don't even know how disprove it but it is usually like that with these mission meetings. I love them. Out president is way top notch, so spiritually in tune!

This week we had time to contact, so it was cool to see the amazing people The Lord had us meet. It's interesting that then we first talk to these people they always have these perspective of the church that is fogged over from what it really is. There was this lady that didn't really believe in organized religion because of her past contact with her form religion, so she just believes that every religion is just all ruined and touch by man. But you know what really cool?

The church of Jesus Christ has a living day prophet, and prophets are called of God to relay his message. This is no mans church, nor will it ever be if we have a living day prophet.

After a bit of talking to her we were able to clear the fog and she was interested, genuinely interested in learning more!

The Lord wants us to come unto him. He is there, and he is the way. I know that as we read the Book of Mormon we can truly be lead the righteousness.

Crazyy moments: we stopped by a guy we are trying to teach his friend that was like 92 died out if no where, so he was a little sad... We think he was a little drunk because when he saw us he went in for a hug and kissed us on the head! Ah!!! I was stunned, I didn't know what to do. But we talked to him about helping him paint his shop haha (whoo hoo) but we gave him a plan of salvation pamphlet to read and talked a little bit about Heavenly Fathers plan for us.

Another one, we were heading down on an elevator (it was pretty packed) from a dinner appointment and when the door opens to a floor all of a sudden this guy falls over and hits he floor! Um.... What just happened? That's what I am thinkin!

This guy fainted, that is what happened!

Everyone was just like stunned and standing around. Finally I was like we need to drag him out of the elevator.. (He was sticking half way in, half way out!) he was so white. Then got him all situated and he started doing weird things with his face. We called the peri medics and got him out of there, but snap! A little intense.

Next. T A dragon fly landed on my hand and was hanging out with me for a couple moments! I didn't get a camera out in time, but it was cool.

Okay so this week was a good one, I love my Savior. I am thankful to see how he brings others closer to him through little things. I think this scripture explains is pretty decently.

"by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise."

Alma 37:6

I am not calling myself wise, but I think it's so true. The small things are really the ones that make a difference to use, build the strongest foundation. Brick, by brick.

I love you guys, I hope you have a good week!!

Love, sister. Tincher
