Modesto: Flea Markets, Bug Bites and Miracles

Hello beautiful world! It's me, Sister Guilott!


Boy, can I just tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE MY MISSION? I seriously love it. I don't know where else I would be. This week has just flown by so fast! Ahhhhhh! We just don't know where it went! Sister Bell and I had a crazy week this past week. First, here is a MIRACLE from this past week.

When Sister Rugg and I were companions, she would tell me about this woman who she was never able to meet... Her name (we will call her) Sister B. Sister B had not gone to church for over a year. She was a recent convert.  She went to the temple every weekend, had finished over 100 names for geneology work in the temple, and was a power house! Then... she vanished. No one knew where she went. So, me and Sister Rugg would knock on her door every weekend to she if she would EVER answer. When Sister Rugg left, I knew that I must keep knocking on the door. I told Sister Bell the story, and we decided to keep on going. This past Thursday, at 5 pm exactly (no joke), I started chatting to Sister Bell about Sister B and what I would say to her if I did ever see her. Then we were biking home and I got the impression to go to Sister B's home. I tried to ignore it, seeing it was almost time for us to go home... I told Sister Bell and we decided to go. So we biked there... AND AT 8:40 PM SISTER B ANSWERED HER DOOR. HOLY COW!!! GOD IS SO REAL!!!!! I was shocked. It was seriously like I had met a celebrity since we had been trying for so long to see her (family back at home, imagine when I had met Chris Evans...That is how I felt!) She told us that it meant a lot to her that we had searched for her... But she told us to never come back. BUT OH MY!!! God answers our prayers and knows our true desires! We are still praying for Sister B. It took 10 months for Sister B to answer her door. I know that God has a plan for us and knows when others will answer the door. In Doctrine and Covenants 4;7 it says:"ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you." In this scripture it never says when. But I know that it will come. You just got to be in line with our Heavenly Father's will. 

Yeah. Also this this past week... I had gotten a bug bite that I thought was a mosquito bite... Then it started to swell... Bigger and bigger. I started to get a little nervous. It it now the fourth day I have had this bug bite, and the swelling has just started to go down! I prayed for a blessing. AND IT WORKED!! God is so real. I just love Him. He is so cool! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Here are a lot of pictures!

Love,

Sister Guilott :) 

These are apples!  They are HUGE!!!
Turtles!  They were only $5.00!  I wish we could have pets!!

Having hot chocolate with sweet Sister Hoff!  It was our first "colder" night....
Finally, I am used to this extreme heat and the weather is going to change??????
Getting ice cream from the Fijian Ice Cream man!

My foot on the right was twice the size of my left foot.  STUPID BUGS1
But I guess God created bugs for a reason....for my dad to fly fish?!  NOT bite me!

The first week on my mission until NOW!!  This kitten is not a kitten anymore!

  1. You are really doing well. I'm impressed how you follow the prompting of the spirit to finally meet up with that sweet woman. She needs our prayers! When you finally sit in the evening, be sure to keep the rigt foot elevated above your heart so it Will speedily drain the swelling. It helps. Love you so much Em, your posts make the spirit felt in my heart. You are so loved by the Saviour for your nurturing heart.
