week 7 and week 5 in MDM- "Massive Miracles in Michigan"

Hey Y'all I know I have been talking a lot about miracles and how I see them everyday but I want to let you know that you don't have to be in Michigan with a name tag on your shirt to see miracles. You just have to be looking for them. (Ref 2 Nephi 26 or 27 I can't remember which one right now). The miracles we have had this week are honestly so amazing that I don't even know how to put them into words. Last Sunday on our way to teach a less active Sister Lindsay told me that she felt like we need to stop by Eliza's house. Eliza is a Hispanic woman that Sister Lindsay and her comp tracted into couple of transfers back and they were able to teach her a solid finding lesson. They lost contact with her after that. We drove over and her built (like we are talking less than 5% body fat, tall, scary looking, not religious) husband is outside cleaning out the garage. We asked him if she was home and he went to grab her. When she recognized us as missionaries she got the biggest smile on her face. She told us that she was super upset that she lost our card and then her phone broke and she had to get a new number. She said that us coming over again showed that we really do care about her. We set up an appointment to come teach her and gave her a restoration pamphlet. When we went back to teach her on Tuesday she told us that she needed to come to church on Sunday, and that she had been looking for the Book of Mormon. She started shaking the pamphlet and asked us if that was is. It was so cute! We agreed with her about church and gave her a Book of Mormon. She was so excited when we came back on Saturday she showed us her outfit for church and everything! She has decided that she needs to be baptized on October 1st and we are so excited to help her with that goal! 
Our other major miracle is Tonya! The Sisters have been working with Tonya forever. Her son was baptized 2 years ago and she started taking the lessons with him. She has recently been able to see Gods Hand in her life and is willing to make the necessary changes to be baptized on October 8th. I am running out of time but I will tell you all about her next week! 
I hope y'all are able to see miracles this week!
Love Sister Ashlee Evelyn Witt
