Week 25 - Small and Simple things...

Hey everyone,
   This week has been great. Miracles are happening in Falls Church. I
love it. That family that came to church last week came again and they
like it!  It is the best. It is incredible what the Lord will do when
you are willing to open your mouth. He will lead you to the people who
need to hear what you have to say!  The family that invited them
invited another family to church. They are doing so much good. And it
is all because the Lord knows that when the time comes they will open
their mouths. So he puts people in their path who will listen. And then
the miracles happen. All because of a simple invitation. It says in
the scriptures that by small and simple things great things are come
to past. And that is something that I am realizing. That when we want
to do something great, it starts with something small. It isn't always
easy. Just because it is small it will still stretch you. But looking
back it will be like, "that wasn't bad. That was pretty easy!" So
remember something small, whether it is an invitation, or helping
someone with their groceries. Whatever it is. It will help them and
you can be a miracle in their life. So always be willing to share what
you have.
       I have a good feeling about this family that came to church. If
they like our church service then I am sure they will love the rest. I
am just so happy. I love the ward here. Just walking up the halls.
They are the best. They always say hi. Ask how my companion's ankle is
doing. Ask us if we need anything. Then they usually say they are
planning on feeding us. And we usually end up laughing about
something. Then we move on and it is like they are in a line. Just one
after the other. And then the little kids always love to say hi to us.
It is like we are church celebrities. Elder Skousen and I are doing
great. Crutching around and trying to teach people.
    It snowed again today. It is pretty cold here in Virginia. Like
15-25. With wind. So it is like -15 to -25. Well at least that's what
it feels like. But hey I am grateful that Elder Skousen took one for
the team and we have a car now. Small and simple things again. Small
break in his bone. And now we get a car. Next winter I might have to
push my companion in the snow so we can get a car again. This past
week has been great. I hope you are all doing well and have a great
week this week!
 
 
Love, Elder Bigelow
