I Love you to the Sun and Back:)

Wow! this week has been such a crazy week for us.I really don't even know where to begin. I wish you could just feel all that I feel sometimes and just know. We found some great new investigators this week who really are so great and ready to learn and receive the Gospel. Their names are Mia and Thomas. Mia is sooo cute and Bubbly she kind of reminds me of me with all her facial expressions. She lives with her Aunt and Uncle, her Aunt and the kids were just baptized a couple of months ago and they all have such a great desire for Mia to feel the joy that they feel. In our first lesson with Mia her little cousin who's about 9 said the closing prayer and in it she said "Thank you Heavenly Father that Mia can be learning this" that was so tender, What a blessing! Mia's mom died and just recently she feels the need to really have a relationship with God. I love her so much! Her Birthday is tomorrow so we are planning to Bake for her!!! :D Also this week we received a referral named Thomas. The Sisters in the other area talked to him on the streets and he is such a miracle! He had just moved from Connecticut 2 months ago and had been taking Missionary lessons there and was preparing to be baptized but had to move. Now he's here and is willing and eager to learn. He is Awesome! We had our first lesson with him and we really just want to help him come closer to Christ.

On Saturday Morning our leaders has asked us about our goals and actuals for our areas as far as Baptism goes and all that and I was really sad to report to that we weren't doing very well in our areas because 2 of the people that we had set Baptismal Dates for just disappeared. One of them had called us to tell he didn't want to learn anymore and the other one, we can't get a hold of him. So I was a little sad about reporting on that.I feel like I honestly didn't know what else we could do to help this people. I feel like I am really trying to give this work and the Lord and this people my all and it really breaks my heart sometimes when people don't keep their commitments.That Saturday Morning my companion and I talked alot about Faith and how the Lord works and is able to show his power according to our Faith in him. We began that day with the hope that we were going to try and set 2 more Baptismal Dates and find new people to teach. That day was a great Miracle for us because we got to finally get in touch with Johnathan (an investigator we hadn't seen in almost 2 weeks) and we got to meet Thomas! We were able to have great lessons with the both of them and we were able to set new Baptismal Dates with the both of them. I have truly to come to feel my testimony grow in having Faith in the Lord and acting on the Faith that as we do all our best he will bless us and make miracles happen according to our Faith in him. I am truly coming to learn the truth in this scripture: Moroni 7: 33

 And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.

 I know that this is so true. Also another big news!!!! Last night we recieved our transfer calls and Guess what?!?! Sister Matheson and I are now only going to be serving in Manhattan Beach no longer covering El Camino. Wow is all I can say. I am grateful to still be with Sister Matheson she really has helped me alot! I love her and I am grateful to be serving fully in Manhattan Beach again.Woop! Woop!

How have you seen the Lord's hands in your lives lately? I would love to hear your experiences!

I Love you so much!!!!

This week has been productive somewhat. I gave blood on Tuesday, and Jessica and I received our Valentine's Day packages on that day too. On Wednesday when Jessica and I began to Skype, a thought popped up in my mind, saying "You should not be dating her." This is not the first time that this happened, so I gave it some thought. Today is Sunday, and Jessica and I are fasting to confirm this prompting today. Pondering the thought that I should not be dating Jessica was unbearable last night, and I expressed it to her.  Also on Wednesday night, I prayed for a missionary opportunity, and the next day my work situation changed. I did my taxes on Saturday.      The opportunity to give blood became exciting on Tuesday, when I found out that my blood type is O positive. I was told that I can do a special donation where I give double the red blood cells. They said that it was actually easier on the body because they only take the red blood cells, and put the plasma and ever...

My Work and My Interesting Health Situation Currently

By
This blog post is a segment of the journal entry of Alex Hicken found at the following link:  http://mormonysa.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-22-2015.html      I would like to tell you about my work and my interesting health situation currently. I don't know why I am not feeling well, but yesterday I felt weak at work. On Monday, I felt like my feet and hands were freezing all morning long. On Tuesday or so, I was wondering about my diet because I felt fine, but something was off. I think that I am not getting enough calories. I think that I have been getting about 1000 calories. Since I fasted, I could not eat as much breakfast as usual. I thought that my body was weak not eating enough, and fasting pushed it over the edge; plus, I donated blood last week. My grandma was thinking that I may have a little 24 hour bug to overcome. I think that I was getting about 200-300 calories for breakfast, 300-400 calories for lunch, and 400-600 calories for dinner; which is ...
