Miracles!

This week was really good we were able to enjoy a lot of miracles in the Ashtarak branch. A few being on Sunday when President Bostrom came. I had both of my counselors come to church, 2 other less actives came back to church, and then 1 of our investigators came to church. We can really see the hand of the Lord in our work. I know that everything we do is in His hand and we just have to do our best. 

We can see the work moving forward and there is a lot of hope for the Ashtarak branch. We just need to work closely with all these people to make sure that they stay active because having these people at church will only help more people come to church. Sometimes it is hard to come to church if you don't have a friend at church and when it is all grandmas at church sometimes it feels like there is no hope in any of the members, but when other people come they get really happy and there is more liveliness. The past 2 weeks have been really good, but the 2 weeks before all we had were older women and it was hard to see that and still have hope. We love having the older women there, but we would like more people than just them.

A member was telling me that there was this member that was saying "why should I come for the Grandmas?" I know that is not the right attitude, but I can understand that it can be hard to come if you don't have any friends there. 

I know that the Lord is in everything we do and if we search for Him he will be there to lift us up. I love you all and encourage you to search Him out in all things.
