NOV. 4, 2013--NO TIME NO TIME

HI HI HI!

I don't have much time this week but I read all of your emails and I LOVED them. I know I always say this, but it really is like Christmas hearing from y'all. I will reply back individually next week I swear! Make sure to update me on this week too though :) Also I got Natty's package and I literally started crying when I got it. HA! I loved it so much. Thanks Natty. First package ever!

I have to share a miracle real quick with you!

So on Tuesday we knocked on Tabatha's door (Sis Gibson/Sis Stucki's investigator that dropped them) and no one answered so we walked back home. Then that night she texts us and asks if we came by earlier and we said yes and then she said she had a great story to tell us and to come by Thursday! So we were super stoked. We went to write it in our planners and SHE WAS ALREADY IN THERE!! In the same spot that she said we could come by! We had put her in as a "maybe" appointment for weekly planning and then we go to write it in and on that same time on that same day we had already penciled her in. MIRACLES. Then we went to her house and she told us the great story. Tabatha used to be into some pretty hard drugs and this guy came by trying super hard to get her to buy some drugs and he even offered them for free and she kept saying no. Finally, she slammed the door on him. She said that she just kept walking around her house thinking, "I need church, I need to pray, I need to read, I need the sisters" over and over again. THEN, 20 minutes later, she hears another few knocks and doesn't answer (thinking it's the drug dealer). But afterwards she was thinking, I bet that was the sisters. So she texted us and IT WAS! And it's CRAZY because we weren't planning on seeing her that day, but we felt like we should, even though it was at an inconvenient time. And then that whole miracle happened with seeing her again on Thursday and it was just crazy. We were all in awe and just kept talking about how that was such a miracle and how that was God telling her to get baptized. She already knows it's true! Satan just got to her pretty bad. She said, "I am going away from the thing that gave me strength." She is so golden. She had a date for baptism but that scared her and she felt very pressured. So we are still working with her! She's awesome. Super cool though, huh?

Cannot believe it is already November. Crazy. Time flies!

I love this work. It's amazing. God is so good. The church is so true it's nuts.

Yall should read "A word for the hesitant missionary" by Uchdorf. It talks about the simple things we can do to be member missionaries always!

Make sure to share the good word with someone this week! I love you guys so so much!

Love,

Sister Boren

SO COOL. I talk about trees all the time because they're super cool! Sister Gibson thinks I'm weird, but now she talks about trees all the time too! It's great.
