Do we love Him more?

Lots of miracles this week as always it's so wonderful to see the
beauty in everyday!
On Wednesday we were driving down a highway  and I spotted a guy that
was sitting at a bus stop and usually I would just keep driving to the
appointment of wherever we were headed but I really felt like we
needed to talk to him so we flipped around and pulled over and got out
to talk with him. Turns out he's an inactive member that has really
lost his way but has a desire to come back. He talked with us about
his struggles and his past and then actually ended up telling us about
his girlfriend who he also thinks would be interested in learning more
so that was a sweet experience, definitely guided by the spirit.
Yesterday I went on an exchange to Ramona haha kind of in the middle
of nowhere but I went out there and then this morning we exchanged
back at 7 am but we made a mistake and forgot to get our phone and the
Ramona sisters took off with our phone and their phone and they live
like maybe 45 minutes from us and we had to be at a meeting at 8 (we
had met them halfway) and we had no way to get ahold of them so
anyways we didn't have time to chase them back to their apartment and
get the phone so we were kind of freaking out anyways we were like ok
we will say a prayer and we know that Heavenly Father will bring them
back here to give us our phone. So we pray and we wait like two
minutes and we see them coming back down the street and we were so
excited. God answers prayers!!!!
I hope those experiences make since and I'm not just rambling but
those were some miracles of the week!

We all know theses scriptures real well but they are a good reminder
especially cause Sunday is the day of LOVEEE these are just some
things our mission has been talking about and I've been thinking
about...

Matthew 22:36-37
"...which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind."

Do we truly love the Lord with all our heart, mind and soul?
Will we give up everything to follow Him?

I love love love in the Book of Mormon when King Lamoni says to the
Lord "I will give away all my sins to know thee"
Each one of us is also being called to leave our sins and follow our
Savior. The scriptures talk a lot about the heart and how we need to
have a change of heart, a soft heart, a broken heart, a humble heart,
a willing heart, a pure heart, a joyful heart and so many more things.
What I do know is that as we love the Savior and give our whole heart
to Him he will make much more out of us then we can ever make out of
ourselves and we will experience a joy greater then any other joy.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
