Second chances

So two ducks walk into a resturant and they sit down, order, and eat. When the waiter comes over and asks how they're going to pay one of the ducks look over and tell him "put it on his bill...." 

Anyways after that horrible joke I am still alive and well here in California! Saw a lot of miracles and here's a little update. 

-this week we had our friend Belen, who had come to church last week and then proceeded to drop us and tell us she's not really interested, reach back out and told us she is actually interested in having lessons. It was because she realized she had been feeling the spirit and was having spiritual experiences. It was super awesome because me and my companion included in our fast last week that our friends would have spiritual experiences and keep meeting with us. So we gave her another chance...

-during one of our studies this week we were at a park and I saw this woman walking down the road who kinda looked that the one woman in the yellow jacket in the movie Doctor Strange, the one who's bald. She was a little far away but I felt the need to talk to her and ask her how she was. I hesitated for a second and she disappeared somewhere. I prayed and repented for hesitating and ask God for another chance with another person who would walk by. About 15 minutes later guess who walks by.... the woman who was on her walk. We called out to her and she asked if we were Jehovah Witnesses and we said no and explained who we were. She wasn't interested but asked for us to pray for her. Her name was Susan and she had a surgery coming up. So yeah, God gave me another chance....

-Our friend Collin came to a baptism with us that was in our Zone and he really like it. He has a baptismal date for December 7th and we're really hoping and praying that he makes it. Please prayer for Collin so he can get another chance...

My mind goes back to second chances and the talk by Elder Kearon from the last conference. I loved this talk and I'm grateful for my companion and my parents and my friends who give me second chances! I'm thankful for my Savior who will always give me another chance to be better. We get to go to the Temple soon and I'm so happy that repentance works so we can prepare to go into such sacred places!
