Doing what we can

...It's weird how just everything changes, time continues on. I had one of those weird experiences a little bit ago. We went to a funeral for someone in the ward. Their son died in a car crash. We went to support em, and it was just so interesting being somewhat on the outside. It probably also had alot to do with all the death in our family but anyway it was just very interesting. At the same time we were in there though, I thought of everyone on the outside, going on with their lives, dealing with their trials and enjoying their victories and pleasures. Life goes on. The only true fact about time (other than stuff found in the scriptures) is that it passes. So we must move on and do what we can. It's also amazing how even though so much is going on with so many different people at once, it is all divinely engineered. We run into each other for reasons, we experience silly little mistakes so someone else might be able to receive blessings, we stop and help someone because they might have asked God for it, but maybe God already knew and had something greater in mind for them, so they could avoid a bigger problem later on. It's just amazing how God works, and how we still have our free agency, but it does affect a lot more things than we may think. That kind of leads into my story this week.
We were with a member after the family night scripture reading we have with investigators and the family, and he was taking us home. There was a car with it's hazards on pulled over with a major blowout. So we stopped to help, being led by the spirit(: We began helping and she was just overcome with thankfulness and joy and we soon figured out with some conversation that she's a member from Texas coming to bring some stuff to her daughter! It seemed she might not have been to church in awhile because she didn't recognize us and she told us it's been awhile and hard to remember some stuff. But while we were helping we could just see her face light up and that she felt God's love for her. I have no doubt that we were an answer to her prayers, and that Brother Hubler was very in tune with the Spirit to stop and help(: She grabbed her scriptures out of the box in the back of her car and put them next to her as she left, and it seemed that she had a recharged spiritual battery with that experience. She said she would share it with everybody! haha it was pretty cool. And all the cops that showed up were grateful for us too and we got to talk with them a bit and help somewhat light up there night(: So it was awesome!
But it was a cool experience and has alot to do with what we just talked about! And along with my talents! Who knows what God will use em for. The only thing I have to do, is use them! So that's what I'm gonna do dangit! haha Anyway I love you guys and I hope you have a good week(:


It was fun hearing both of those tidbits this week.  We really don't know what Heavenly Father has in plan for us, and we need to be ready to hear His promptings!  I love having my spiritual/mental battery charged every week. We need to be aware of charging our batteries in general with good thoughts and deeds, and whatever else we can find that can lift our spirits.  And Doing what we can, whenever and wherever we can.  :)  -Kammy
