Also, we got another flat tire. For those counting, that is the third one I've had with this car (I've had this car my entire mission.) But it was kind of a tender mercy that it happened when it did, because we had to drive up to Modesto, about 1.5 hours away, and so if it hadn't gone flat when it did, it might have happened while we were driving to Modesto, which at 75mph would have been bad. So we got the spare on and took it in the next morning, got a ride to Modesto with the senior couple, and picked it up when we got back. It worked out so well. God was definitely looking out for us!
Really cool story- a couple months ago, we visited a less active family and they shared with us that he had a court case coming up where his ex was trying to raise his child support, and it was already over $1000 a month. Well, I was prompted to extend the promise that if they would come back to church, the court case would go well and his child support would not go up. Fast forward to last week, the house they're renting had a couple water pipes burst, and they still haven't been fixed, so they're looking into buying their own. But last year, because his child support was so high, they were only able to qualify for a certain amount for a loan. However, they had the court case this week, and his child support went from over $1000 to $300, which is a huge miracle in and of itself, and also now they'll qualify for a bigger loan so they can actually get their own home. It was such a testimony builder for me! God really does fulfill his promises. And it's amazing to be an authorized representative of Jesus Christ and to be able to make promises that come from God!
To be perfectly honest, when I first got the prompting, I was really surprised, but it came again, so I extended the promise to them. Can you imagine if I hadn't listened to it? I definitely learned that whenever the Spirit tells you to do something, you do it! In the same vein, last night, Sister Smith said we needed to visit another less active family. I've tried to talk to them for a long time, without luck, but we went, and the dad got home right after we got there and we were able to talk to him for a long time and figure out how to get his daughters, who are recent converts, to church! Huge miracle!
If this hadn't already gotten so long, I'd tell you all about how much I love Jacob 5, but I'll let you read it for yourself. I found an article that really helps explain it, so I'd suggest using that to help you understand it. I have such a testimony of this chapter!
Have a great week, and don't forget to invite people to the special Sacrament meeting on the 23rd!
Love you, bye!
Sister Cate
