So this week we got a referral from a bishop in a different ward who thought elders would be best for this family, so we went over and met a lady named Bobby.  She is a single mom whos husband was murdered a year ago.  She has 2 kids at home, Louie who is high autistic and Sade who is paralyzed in her legs and has cysts in her brain. When we met Bobby she started to SOB and tell us what had happened to her and her family.   She let some people she was trying to help stay in her house for a couple days.  They brought over a matress that was infessted with bed bugs.  We told her we would help get rid of it she was so humbly grateful.  So we find out the night before that we have to spray this chemical that is a  bed bug killer and let it sit 4 hours before we move the stuff.  No members were able to help us.  We had a meeting the next morning so we went in at 7 in the morning and sprayed this intense chemical all over these beds and carpet and EVERYTHING else in the house!  All I had was this cheap doctor mask thing so I felt destroyed after this.  

We finished the job and Bobby was so grateful that we did this for her that she decided she wanted to go to church.  She went to the church, shes not a member and was very scared to go to the church.  We met her again at 2 and She was so happy!  She told us that when she walked into the church she felt this peace that she had never felt before. She said "Start teaching me!"  Luckily we had the english sisters there so we were able to let the english sisters teach her.  After we finsihed moving everything out.  We had about 4 members call us thanking us for the opportunity to help and for the opportunity to see the mircale of Bobby.  It was such a huge testimony builder that the Gospel is for Every Single Person and Serving others will bring people unto christ!! 

What an amazing week to be a missionary for our Savior. I love this Gospel that will shape and change us. I know thta My Savior lives!
