This week was absolutely terrific!
Elder Dorrough is my new companion, he’s from Connecticut. I know weird haven’t
heard that one before! He’s a stud and we get a long really well! This week we
have been blessed with so much success in finding and in the progression of our
investigators. "Obedience brings blessings, Exact obedience brings
Miracles" Let me tell you that statement is true! This week has been a
week FULL of miracles and I want to share a few with you.
We were in a lesson with our
investigator and it was such a spiritual lesson and she was feeling the spirit
so strong especially after just watching all 4 sessions of General Conference.
The lesson is wonderful and the participation from here was awesome and she
totally opened up and expressed everything! Towards the end I asked "Will
you follow the ex..." and she cut me off with an excited almost yell of
"YES I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED" I’m not even sure how she exactly knew
what I was asking, but we all rejoiced together as she also shared her desire
to take her family to the temple too!
One of our investigators has been
struggling with the Atonement and how we can be forgiven of past things as well
as forgive others. She knows the bishop in the ward well and so we invited them
to talk. After they did she said all doubts and thoughts were gone like a
weight was off her shoulders. She is now pursuing to be baptized this month!
It was 8:40pm and we had to take
some stuff some members gave us back to our pad. When we got there we dropped
it off and said we have 20 minutes where should we go? I asked Elder Dorrough
(even though it was his second day in the area) left or right. I felt strongly
to go left and without mentioning that he began to walk that way. 2 houses up
from us there was this group of kids. As we were walking on the other side of
the street, one asked us "What is your favorite Bible verse?" We went
over and I told them mine and my comp said his. He then asked what theirs was.
They were not familiar with the bible and told us to come back the next day and
they would tell us. I then had the thought to give them a Book of Mormon and
have them choose one out of there too. So I did and when we returned the next
day they shared their insight and we had a wonderful lesson with them and will
continue to see them all frequently!
From Finding, to Teaching, to investigators
progressing... The Lord continued to direct his work all week long! We also got
to watch conference which was amazing!!! I cannot wait to go back and study the
talks more. They truly are called of God. The messages they share are life
changing, so let them change us! I hope your weeks were wonderful and you had many
reasons to smile and look towards Heavenly Father. Have a wonderful week! Love
ya all!
