Week 70: It's Glorious

After 16 months of listening to Glorious and The Prayer sung by American's almost Idol, David Archuleta, I finally got to see man behind the music. Yep, David Archuleta came to the Rome Italy Temple Open House and I was in the Visitor's Center when he came in. Did we talk? No. Did I creepily walk run to the other side of one room so I could catch him leaving? Absolutely. I kept having flash backs to 4th grade when me and my friends wrote him love letters for Post Office week.

The coolest miracle of this week was when Sorella Allen and I were going out, trying to contact some of our temple refferals. (I've gotten more refferals this week than I've gotten my whole mission. 12. We got 12 in one week.) So we're walking up a street pretty close to our house, searching for a number 63 with no success.
Before continuing, let me jump back like two months. Sorella Brooks and I were on the hunt for a less active family one sunday morning. We looked all over for their name and we couldn't find anything. So we started heading back to church. On our way back, we both stopped at the same time and both felt impressed to ring at least a couple doorbells before going on. We turned around, and there was on citofono that stuck out to me, so we walked over to it. We didn't have much time, so we rang the first four names. None of them had time, but they at least let us introduce ourselves before saying "Buona Domenica." We talked to one woman as she exited the palazzo but she wasn't interested so we left her with our card and went to church.
Flash back to me and Sorella Allen: We're walking along the same street where Sorella Brooks and I found ourselves 2 months ago. We weren't having any luck finding the name. At the end of the street, I felt impressed to go back to the same Citofono that Sorella Brooks and I had rung months earlier, even though it was not the house number we were looking for. We went up to the citofono, and the fourth name from the top, the LAST one that Sorella Brooks and I had rung was Emilia Iezzi. The temple refferal that we were looking for. We rang and she told us to come back on Saturday night.

This experience was such a testimony builder for me. Heavenly Father is so aware of even our smallest efforts, and He truly does guide His children. But more than that, everything must be done in His timing. His plans for each child are bettert than any plan we could design. I'm so grateful for the knowledget that there is a God who guides us, who knows us, and who loves us. I love this gospel and I absolutely love the time I have been given to share it.

I love you all!!
