Tornados & Miracles

So this week was absolutely amazing! Our ward is doing the 40 day fast which means every person in the ward chooses a day that they will fast for the missionaries and missionary work for 40 days. It started Monday and wow! Fasting works!

 Miracle after miracle after miracle! It fired me UP!!! My favorite miracle was {M} She let us in once a while ago and so we tried contacting her again and knocking on her door for weeks! And Sunday night after dinner we only had time to try one person so we said lets try her one more time and if she doesn't answer we will have to drop her. And she answered! And she's awesome!!!! 
 But she loves God and when we shared the first vision she just sighed and said, "I believe it. God brought you two sisters to me and I can feel it in my heart, that story is so true. God will always speak to us." WHAAAATT!? hahah She is so golden and so prepared! and when we gave her the Book of Mormon she just sighed and said "I need this book. I'm taking this to work tomorrow and reading it ever time I get the chance!" Wow so so so cool! I love being a missionary and being part of God's miracles! this church is so true guys!

So the tornado..... A tornado came through and touched the ground about 19 times. 500 houses are unroofed and broken :( I was in the Visitors Center giving a tour to a youth group from Texas and the sirens went off and we shuffled them all into the theater!  And so I'm in the cabin and we are listening to journal entries of the saints and lights went out! And sirens were blaring! And someone came in and said, those are tornado sirens we need to get everyone in the theater. ðŸ˜² so I turn to my group and say "you know how we have been talking about faith and enduring to the end? Well we are going to practice that." It was so terrifying.  I held it together while we were there but when we got home I cried my head off. Luckily Sister Bench and I cry like that every other night so that night was my turn.
 
I slightly cried on the inside haha it's fine..... But yeah. I survived a tornado! That was a miracle within itself! PHEW! The work is going forth and so are the winds! haha I love you all!

Love, Sister Rust
