im sitting here and its past midnight and i should be finishing my homework thats due tomorrow but i wanted to share.
today, we tabled on campus. we have a table with church and missionary sort of stuff and tell people about the church if they have any questions. we meet some interesting people to say the least. the elders serving in the branch come and help us out. i have become really good friends with both of the elders and i was talking with one of them and was telling him about when i was talking to a friend yesterday, he asked some questions about the church. i didnt really know how to answersome of them and i got upset with myself. i wanted to know how to answer but i was like uhhhh. it felt annoying. so i told elder allen about this(mind you hes going home in 12 days so hes on a spiritual peak) and told me all i can do was bare my testimony in situations like that. we dont always have the answers for everyone right off the bat and thats ok. pretty much we talked about that sort of thing and other spiritual stuff and before i knew it 45 minutes had gone by. it was so awesome.
it just felt really good that i could talk to someone like that who can sit with me here and now and see eye to eye with me and listen and understand what im talking about. i know i can talk to any of you girls but it was just so nice to have that spiritual talk with someone that i see all the time. i dont know if he knew how much that meant to me.
well i just wanted to tell you guys about that cuz it was a cool experience that i had today and i feel really good about it!!
Loves to you all, nomes

Naomi, that is such an awesome story. That is just one of the many ways that missionaries are embassaries of the Lord. They spread his tender mercies everywhere. Even if it's to a little college girl at Humboldt who just needs to be reminded that the Lord loves her. He'll maybe never realize what he did for you, but it's because the Lord works in mysterious ways and he uses us when we don't know it either. Thanks for the post Naomi. That was awesome.
