A Ripple Effect

This letter from one of my wonderful Sister Missionaries.

"I told you awhile ago about how we knocked on a Sister L.'s door who is a less-active member. She wasn’t home so we left a note; she called us and wanted to meet with us but in the mean time that following Sunday she came to church. Well she has been coming to church faithfully every week. We have been meeting with her and helping her do service. She hasn’t missed a single Sunday since we left the note on her door. She is very involved with the ward now. She comes to everything and she has made such great friends with the relief society sisters. Well another one of our less-active sisters in the ward was running and got swept away by a flash flood and sucked into a drainage pipe and shot out the other end of it and was taken down the river. She was in the hospital for days and had to have surgery! Well last Sunday they announced that they needed someone to take Sister M a dinner. Sister L. (who has only been coming back to church 3 times) offered to take her a meal. I guess when she dropped it out they ended up talking and realized they had a bunch of stuff in common. Well Monica came to church on Sunday because of Sister L! They both stayed for all 3 hrs. They hit it off and are the best of friends! Look at the ripple effect this has had simply because we got lost one Sunday afternoon. God is good!"
