Oh my goodness. I could probably count the stressful moments this
week but there is no way I could count the miracles!
On Sunday I texted a less-active member who we visit and asked her if she
wanted to come to church. We had planned with her that on a Sunday when she
could come we would meet at her house, help her get to the car with her son, and
ride together. She texted back that night and said she could come so we could
meet her at her home. Not even 10 minutes later a member who travels from
Firenze called and said there was going to be a national sciopero (strike) which
means no trains. In Montevarchi nothing happens for the sorella without a train.
But I was like, "Ah, that's fine. We've got a ride. No big deal!" It wasn't
until I was kneeling down praying that I remember nothing happens without a
train. We had to take the train to even get to the sister's home... So I
said another prayer and then went to sleep. We decided to go to the station 30
minutes early in hopes of taking the earlier train. We got to the station and
every single train was cancelled. EXCEPT ours. Holy cow. We just kept checking
every 5 minutes to make sure it wasn't cancelled and then it just showed up and
we were on our way. This sister was coming to church for the 2nd time in a
year-- on this particular Sunday. The Sunday in which President Dibb came and
was able to bless her little baby boy. It was amazing! I was almost in tears on
the train. I know the Heavenly Father answers prayers. If you don't then put Him
to the test. If you are obedient and do your part, then just like Nephi Heavenly
Father will bless you with whatever you ask.
I am so grateful that we don't do this work alone! We have the Spirit to
guide us in all things and we have a companion to keep us company every single
day. We will be sisters forever! I love my companion and I love my city!
Thanks for all the love and encouragement! Sorry if I don't get back to you
in a timely manner!!
Con affetto,
Sorella Jarvis
