The Heavens Are Not Closed!!! 04/28/14

Dear Family! 

What an amazing week we had! So many miracles and so much SUN! can't get much better than that:)
A shout out to my amazing little brother Nigel who turned 14 this last week! I love you so much buddy! hope you had an amazing birthday!
And a shout out to EDWARD, ELDER YEATES! who got his mission call! WOOOHOOO i am so proud of you! Seriously you are going to be an INCREDIBLE MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!
We got 3 new investigators this week! People are opening up more and more
which is so exciting to see the change in the work!
We were stopping by less actives visiting them for Easter and we met this man
who was pushing his new four month old baby in the park and as we walked by he read out our name tags so we stopped!. He was super awesome and agreed to meet and talk more! Then our first meeting with him was just awesome and he is really open and had tons of great questions. He has a family and so we are super excited to start working with him and helping him and his family come into the gospel!
T, our new convert received the priesthood last week and this last Sunday he passed the sacrament! wow he is just amazing! Sister K and i were seriously just beaming we were so happy! Knowing that we had a part in helping this man come into the Gospel and realize that he has a loving Father in Heaven and Savior really is just so incredible. It reminded me that that is why i am here! Helping others come unto Christ and changing their lives for the better:)
N is doing awesome. We just met with her yesterday and are having her fast and pray next Sunday in order to know if she is ready for baptism. Would love all of your prayers! 
One thing i have learned this week as we have had zone conference and such is that Revelation has not ceased in our day! "The Heavens are not closed!". That is one thing that i love about out church, is that we know that there is more revelation to be revealed for all of us together and personally. "God has not ceased to be God", he is an "Unchanging God.." and he loves all of his children. Continuing Revelation is real! We can all receive guidance in our lives. And all we need to do is have a desire to know, then act (reading the scriptures with a purpose, and going to church and such) and then ask God through humble prayer. I KNOW this works. On my mission I have had experience after experience where I personally have trials and have received direction and counsel from the Lord. I know that he loves each and every one of you, and that he wants to help you all in your lives. He has been and will always be there, we are the ones that need to take that first step of trust and let him lead our lives.
I love you all and i hope you have an amazing week! 
Love sister Yeates
