"Go Forth With Faith..!" :)‏

Hello! :) 

This week was EXTRAORDINARY!!!! :) I like to call it the "Miracles Abound Week!" :) :) Because it was definitely packed full of miracles!! :) So fun and exciting!! :) We loved it!! :) So to start off the week we were blessed to have one of our amazing members come on a "mini mission" with us!! :) Sister Roberts went up to OKC while Sister Zaleski and I had the amazing Sister in our ward be our 3rd companion! It was SO much fun and she did AMAZING!! :) She is such an excellent missionary!! :) We went on splits a lot too so it was just me and her and she is such a natural!! :) She would be an EXCELLENT full-time missionary if she chooses to go on one!! :) It was so much fuN! And she really enjoyed her experience too! :) Such a neat experience!! :) 

Another great thing we were blessed to be able to do this week was go on exchanges!! :) I went on exchanges with Sister Durfee in Midwest City!! :) And it was so great!! :) She is an incredible missionary!! :) I can't even believe that she has only been out for a few weeks (this is her 1st transfer!) I am in so much awe at how each and every group of missionaries that come out are SO AMAZING and somehow they keep getting better and better!! The Lord has definitely been preparing them this whole time to come forth and SHINE their light and love of the Savior and gospel to ALL those around them RIGHT NOW when His work is hastening like never before!! :) So amazing!! :)  I Love it!! :) "It's a Miracle!!" :) 

Speaking of miracles.. do you want to hear the biggest one of them all this week..??! :) We were blessed to teach 36 lessons with an investigator with a member present this week!!! :) WOO HOO!!! Such a MIRACLE!!! :) It happened very similarly to how the Miraculous 50 Member Present Week (back in December) went.. We were weekly planning and were setting a goal for 6.. when the Spirit put the thought in my mind.. you can do more!..what about 66.. or 6 X 6.. 36??!!! :) And so I brought this up to my companions and they got super excited about it!! (because they are full of faith, excitement, and love of the Lord and His work and children!! :) They are amazing missionaries!!!! :) ) So we prayed about it and felt that 36 was the right/best goal to set! :) We immediately started making plans of how to achieve this goal and when we invited members to come out with us they were excited to and did! :) It. was. INCREDIBLE!! :) We were finding like crazy!! And teaching SO many people about the Book of Mormon!! :) It was amazing!! :) We met SO many incredible people and many of them want to learn more!! :) Last night we were coming home and had reached 35 lessons with a member and needed one more! We were on splits and Sister Zaleski was still with a member and we felt prompted to tell her to go and visit this one last person that lived nearby (while they waited for us to get back to where they were) So they did AND... THEY WERE ABLE TO TEACH HER!!!! :) They shared a couple scriptures from the Book of Mormon and were able to get a return appointment as well!! :) SO EXCITING!! :) We had been trying to get a hold of her for WEEKS!! And never could!! It was SUCH A MIRACLE!! :) That SHE was the MIRACULOUS #36!! :) Wow!! The Lord knows EXACTLY what He is doing!! :) How to do it! And Who to do it through!! :) I LOVE IT!! :) 

So many more people came to Church too and are being taught!! :) All because the Spirit inspired us to set a much higher goal than we had been! The work of the Lord is MIRACULOUS!! It is truly a humbling and awing experience to be a part of and witness SO many miracles that the Lord performs DAILY!! :) We just have to be praying for them, looking for them, and having faith for them to come to pass!! :) It's AMAZING!! :) The CHURCH IS SO TRUE!! :) "I know it. I live it. I love it!!" :) 

I hope y'all have a MIRACULOUS and Spirit-filled DAY and WEEK!! :) The Lord loves you SOOO MUCH!! :) And so do I! :) Thank you again SOOOOOO MUCH for ALL your amazing and continuous support, prayers, letters, packages, kindnesses, encouragement, and love/charity!! :) I LOVE YOU ALL!! :) Have a blessed day and week!! :) The Church is true!! :) And our loving Heavenly Father is TRULY a "God of Miracles!!" :) Believe it and you will see it! :) (Mosiah 4:9)


Love, Sister Carlini :) 

ps. QofW: "Don't ever stop PRAYING for MIRACLES, stop THINKING about them or EXPECTING them... we must have FAITH in JESUS CHRIST!" -Elder Andersen :) I LOVE this quote!! :) SO true!! :) 

I also LOVE the lines at the end of this scripture in Alma 37:40 :) ... "therefore they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day by day." :) That is how I feel!! :) This week was INCREDIBLE!! :) Tender Mercy!! :) I KNOW that we can have miracle-filled weeks EVERY WEEK! :) if we heed the counsel given to us by Elder Andersen and many others who have gone before him to "Have FAITH in JESUS CHRIST!" :) Miracles will ABOUND!!.. I promise!! :)
