Dearest Family,
We had a pretty busy day! A really fun day too! This morning we had a district activity and then district lunch right afterwards. We had a nerf war! It was a lot of fun. We set up tables and moved furniture and had chalk boards all as places to duck 'n cover. We played in our church gym. I also cut my companions hair! Not very much, just trimmed her ends, but still! That is scary!!! I would never trust someone untrained to cut my hair! But, it still looks cute :) I did a good job. I colored my hair again. My hair was 3 different colors! Dark on top, lighter in the middle, and really light on the bottom. Well, it is pretty much all one color now :) I'm not really a blonde anymore :) It is a really pretty light brown.
So we have been having lots of fun finding miracles throughout each day. We were invited by our district leader to look for miracles everyday. So every night before my companions and I go to sleep we pillow talk about one miracle that each of us had. I've had some pretty fun ones! My first miracle happened at a dinner appointment. We always share a message or spiritual thought with those we have dinner with, and at that house, we decided to talk about the Book of Mormon. Normally what we do is discuss favorite stories, and share how the Book of Mormon helped us gain a testimony of the Savior. This time I felt the impression to share my favorite scripture. It is Mosiah 24:14 " And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions". As we read this, I saw the mother's jaw drop wide open. She said that she had been looking for this scripture for years because it was the one that led her to know that the church was true!! Can you believe that!?! It was so cool!!! So after all of that we invited them to write down their testimony inside of a copy of a pass along book and pray to know who to give it to. Then we discussed Family Mission Plans, and how they could be missionaries in their own way. hint hint :)
My next miracle was when we were able to get back in contact with a referral from the church headquarters we received back in November. We taught her the restoration and got invited to come back! When we got there, I noticed that she had a little picture of Jesus Christ hanging up on her wall that we gave to her. She kept it all this time! The church is true!
I love you all!
Love, Sister Keller
