What a wonderful week!

We have had some great miracles this week. We went to teach an investigator named Gaye and we didn't have her phone number so we stopped by early to see if it was ok if we came back at three and if we brought someone with us. She was soooo excited to meet a member.. she said she had been thinking about what she would do once we left and so she was like you got get her. So we brough sister Whitehead and had a great lesson and then she came to church yesterday! yahooo! We also taught an older man named patrick who has parkinsons disease and he told us he would come to church. We didn't see him but then he walked in a little late. He had spent the whole night in the hospital and then went back after church. He is so sweet. He said he wouldn't have missed it. all the memebers were so welcoming and we were so grateful! Two investigators at church.. wow :) I got a serious case of hiccups while tracting this week.. luckily the man was really nice about it and offered me some water. I haven't had hiccups that bad in a long time! I am so happy and things are getting better here everyday. Sister Swim and I have been a little under the weather but still able to work so that's a blessing. We had a picnic dinner in a random field the other day and it was so beautiful.. it felt like we were dreaming. Oh and some members in my ward were going to Buffalo this weekend for there sons basketball tournament and they were able to meet up with laurie and bryce! wow huh! Laurie made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies on saturday and I ate them on sunday.. amazing! Well I was reading in romans 12 this week and these are my favorite verses,"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.2 And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD : but BE YE TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 12 Rejoicing in hope;patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Cool Huh. It is up to us to decide to be hopeful and prayerful and patient and to not be overcome. I heard a quote this week that said, "If satan keeps reminding you of your past, remind him of his future." Some have badness in their past.. mistakes and heartaches but everyone has a bright future unlike the adversary because we know that throught the Atonement of Christ we can live with God and with our families forever. Don't let regrets hold you back. Move forward. Believe Christ. Do good. I love you all and thank you for your support!
Love Sister Savage
