Dearest Family and Friends,
We had another awesome week! Last P-day one of our members took us out past Judbury (west) to a little hike that leads to a beautiful waterfall! It was so cool! I also saw my first Huntsman spider this week. It was about 3 inches in diameter and it was small for a Huntsman! They're nasty lookin things! Sorry I didn't get a picture, I was trying to run to the car haha!
Biggest miracle happened this week! So last week our investigator Eleanor found out that her mom has cancer. They found out because she recently had open heart surgery, so when she was having trouble breathing they were extra careful and found something on her nodes and two spots on her lungs. So needless to say, Eleanor has been a bit fragile. We talked with her last Monday and she was just really weighed down with everything. We talked a lot with her about the Atonement and how it can help her right now in her life. It was really cool because even though she still considers herself an atheist she still has been trying to look at her situation with the perspective that she has been given through the gospel.
So now for the miracle: On Thursday Sister Maughan and I decided to fast for Eleanor. That night she texted us and told us that she had said a meaningful prayer. The next day we went over and she was so happy! She told us the good news that her mom does not have cancer on her nodes and the two spots on her lungs are melanoma, so essentially she will be okay. She proceeded to tell us about the great day she had on Thursday and how for once it felt as if everything seemed to go right, instead of wrong. Eventually we decided to tell her that we had fasted for her on Thursday. Immediately her face turned bright red as tears filled her eyes. She thanked us and told us how much she needed that. I hope and pray that she will be able to hold to this experience and use it to grow her faith and testimony in Heavenly Father. All I can say from this experience is that FASTING WORKS! Heavenly Father is so willing to give us the help and strength we need in our lives, all we have to do is ask.
Love you all and hope you have a good week! The church is true!
Love always,
Sister Bingham
