Herrow Family!

What a week...for you and me! :) Brenny, I just can not believe that you are graduating this week...I keep on telling you that you can not grow up with out me! You are not listening to well!! :) Harry...you are growing like a weed yourself and going to have a big old birthday here soon! I will be praying for all of you and that this week is a memorable week with miracles as well!

My Week:

Monday's Reminder- was great! We got to go spend some of the day with the Dellingers (recent convert in the Westfield ward) and be with them. They spoiled us rotten and just took good care of us! I realized how blessed I truly was to know these family and be a part of their miracle. Tim is really doing well. He is active in his calling and I am thankful for his example of humility and kindness. Everytime I come over he tells his family and friends his "daughter" is coming home. He is so very kind and I am blessed to have that family in my life.

Tuesday's JOY- was such a good day...we just worked our little tale ends off...we were able to teach so many wonderful people and found a really neat new investigator named Dominic. We see him tomorrow and we are anxious to teach him. He was so sincere about seeking for truth. We came home that night and couldn't stop smiling....hard work = JOY!

Wednesday's MIRACLE- We had a miracle! So, a week ago Bishop had given us some assignments to go and visit some people he had been thinking about. So, we had been working through that list and got to Sister Richardson, who Bishop had not seen in years and wanted us to give her a try. So, we called her the day before and she was so sketched out about us calling. She kept asking us why we were calling and who sent us. We played the "new missionary" card and that we just wanted to get to know her. So, after being VERY persistent with her she said we could come the next day in the afternoon but...she said we needed to call her first. Well, Sister Tua and I are no "greenies" anymore. We knew what she was doing so as soon as we got off the phone with her, we scheduled to see her at 11am the next day!! haha Well, we pull up the next day at 11am and her door was wide open and you could smell bacon and hear some good old gospel music. We knock on the door and she lets us in with a big smile on her face and everything! We got to know her a little bit and long story short, she was planning on not ever answering the door but, she said the night before she was saying her prayer and the spirit told her we were coming in the morning and to let us in! :) I LOVE that woman...if you don't know what "soul power" is you just need to meet Sister Richardson...she has got some SOUL! She came to church on Sunday and is coming out teaching with us this week! MIRACLE!

Thursday's Grace- We were teaching Doug and as we were reading Enos with him, he just paused and we asked him what he was thinking. His eyes filled with tears and he just said, "I am thankful I know there is a God" that hit me like a ton of bricks. I can't believe how lucky we are to just know....there is a Father in Heaven!!

Friday's Hooiser- Friday we were tracking at 730 and it was so beautiful! The weather...everything was perfect! We went and knocked on Jeff's door (good name ugh?) and here comes the good old hooiser...no shirt...beer in one hand...cigarette in the other...He pretty quickly allows us to teach him on his porch and I boy, I wish you all could have been there. The spirit was and could not have been stronger. I walked away from that lesson, with the sun on my back, and about to ready to float...I was on such a spiritual high! He committed to come to church and we have taught him 2x since then. mmmmmmm

Weekend on blessings!- Such a good weekend. Lots of teaching, laughs, and good tracking stories. Doug and Keli came to church, they loved it! :) Jeff didn't end up making it...due to the Indy 500 race....he said that this was a religion to him, he promised he would come next week.  I wasn't kidding when I said he was a hooiser! haha (remind me when I get home to tell you about the long version of what happened to Jeff that day!) haha!

I could go on and on but I save the rest for later! :) This week was so wonderful! I know that I am being led by a mission President who has communication with God, more then a million times he has been an answer to a prayer for me and done it in such a  loving manner. I love him and I am thankful for his sweet wife. They are games changers to me in my life and I love them dearly.

 I love this gospel. I know it is true. I know there is goodness that radiates from the gospel. I love the word radiate. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Radiate, they are light and truth and I love them dearly. I know the spirit has many roles to help us in our life. I am thankful for that!

 I love you all! Good luck this week and don't forget to be consistent! :)

God bless you in this great work! :)

Love,

Sister Clegg
