Right Place, Right Time!

Dear Friends and Family,
We had a great week down here in Searcy. We weren't always doing what we had originally planned but we were doing the work that the Lord needed us to be doing at the time. Something I've seen many times on my mission but it still amazes me is how we can be exactly in the right place at the right time if we follow the Spirit. Likewise if we aren't following the Spirit it is very easy to miss perfect opportunities to teach or serve. That's why the "spirit is the most important single element in this work." -Ezra Taft Benson

For example we were in the right place at the right time to be able to deliver groceries to a family in need. And to be with a sister who needed someone to listen and feel the Spirit in her home. And to vacuum someone's home who is having some health problems. And to teach when everyone was home.  We were doing our best to listen to the Spirit and so even though the week didn't go as planned we were in the right places at the right times for the Lord to do his work. And hopefully this next week we will continue to be so.

Transfers are this week and I'm staying in Searcy with Sister Mathison. Yay! We are getting 27 new missionaries this week. Holy Guacamole! That like a whole zone! Areas are going to be opening and there will be lots of people training. It's so exciting!!  Tomorrow we are having a baptism for our investigator Morgan. Morgan, who just graduated and has been investigating the Church for a while now and is finally getting baptized! She is so excited and so are we :)

As always thank y'all for everything that you do, but mostly for who you are :) have a wonderful week
Love,
Sister Aase

PS.  To my friends in Minnesota, bet you've never felt a 'wind chill' of 109 degrees.  What the what????  Thank goodness we have a car and AC.
