I have such a strong testimony about God being a part of our every day lives.

This week was another really successful week. We had some really cool lessons and met some really cool people this past week. I always struggle to find just one cool experience to share because there are so many. The one I wanted to share this week was from contacting a guy named Craig. One of our bishops asked us to stop by and visit a guy named Craig and we weren’t exactly sure why or what he wanted us to talk with him about. So on Saturday night we were trying to figure out who we should go by and see and we remembered Craig and so we thought we should stop by. I have such a strong testimony about God being a part of our every day lives. He knows us and He knows what we need, when we need it. It had turned out that Craig’s dad had just passed away a few days earlier from a stroke. We had actually met Craig a few weeks ago when we went around shoveling driveways and we helped him and he told us his dad had just had a stroke. So apparently the next day his dad passed away. So Craig was obviously struggling and we were able to come into his home and share a message with him about trials. I got to share one of my favorite scriptures from Romans 5:3-5 which I think I’ve shared before. In the verses it talks about how going through trials will help us to have more hope in our life and I love that and know that that is true. I know that God knew that Craig needed someone to talk to that night and he needed to hear how God has a plan and everything will work out in the end. God is aware of each and every single one of us. In other exciting news, we got to go to the temple today which is always amazing. I really felt the spirit so strongly there today. Afterwards we went and just walked around temple square and went and watched some videos and took a couple of tours. It was Elder O’Neal’s first time there so it was pretty cool. I always love going to temple square. I hope everyone has a good week. Thanks for all of your prayers!
