God is there!!‏

Hey
This week has been a difficult one a real trial of my faith, It started off pretty good a lot of good things happened we were able to teach a few new investigators and what not. We also taught a part member family who there daughter is going to get baptized the end of November but they didn't come to church either. But the real story is the Amazing answer i received.. So we taught the Thigpens this week and she set a date for baptism and to quite smoking, and she said she needed a ride to church. We were like heck ya we can do that to get you to church. So Saturday roles around and we finally find some one to give her a ride because she lives in the bottom of our area so we call they don't answer so we leave a message saying we got a ride and he will be there to pick her up and her son. Right After we do this we get a call from them and westley the son is the one on the phone and he says can you call our ride back and tell him we don't need a ride anymore, we are going to go to the Woodington Ward which is south of us.... i Was like are you kidding. He says i have some friends down there that invited me so it will be more comfortable.. Well needless to say he went with his friends and his mom didn't go and she is the one with the baptismal date.. bah plus we found out the member threw us under the bus, basically told them we were lying to them and we didn't care about them!! So we have been trying to clear up misconceptions now. The Girl told him that it didn't matter which ward he went to, that he could be baptized in woodington and be taught by the sisters or the Elders down there. Then told them the only reason we are fighting to get them to go to our ward and be baptized there is to meet our quota which is not true.. I was so mad i broke down and basically gave up, well you can't do that so i prayed hard i needed help i couldn't do it alone, after i prayed i walked out side and was pacing around praying out loud staring at the stars. There was one beautiful bright star i was watching and the clouds moved across it so i basically thanked god for the stars and asked for it to come back, right then i broke threw the clouds like right threw the middle and a huge shooting star flew across the sky!! That was my sign read D&C 35:8, God is there he cares for us all and is there to strenghten us in our time of need and he listens to our prayers.. i love it i felt the spirit so strong.. I felt the healing power of the Atonement so strong because i did have to ask for forgiveness of a few things i said and did when it happened. but i love you all and God so much it is unbelievable.
