WEEK 81: IF WE PUSH THROUGH THE HARD, THERE IS "GOOD" WAITING

This week was great, we saw progression and miracles happen. The Lord always provides. 

   Last Tuesday we had a great district meeting, this zone is so awesome.  The missionaries are on fire and working so hard and we are seeing many wonderful things happen here.  I had exchanges also.   The elder I went with was awesome and a great missionary. I was able to learn a lot from him.  We also were able to find part members which was amazing.   We had an interview and it all went good!

   On Wednesday we had to be at a meeting early in the morning, the travel was tiring but it was so worth it. The meeting was awesome.  I love learning from President and Sister Koster, they’re amazing.   We got punted all day and were having a hard day, but then our last appointment made it all better because our investigator accepted a baptismal date.  It made all the hardness and stress go away as it was replaced with excitement and happiness. 

   On Thursday we got punted again in the afternoon but at night we were able to find another part member who is pretty fire.  It just shows that there is good always waiting if we push through the hard.    We taught this new family that we are excited about.  They have a ton of questions, I mean a ton!   Their  questions are about everything, and they listen so well.   It’s  so fun to teach them and help them understand. 

   On Friday we were able to visit many great people.  One was a less active we met on the street.  We went back to him and taught his kabahays and him.  It was such a spiritual lesson.  It was so cool finding him.  He just came up to us and said he was a member.  When he found us we just got finished being punted.   The Lord has a plan for all of His children, no one is forgotten.  

    Saturday was awesome, full of many tender mercies.  First off we attended a baptism of some zone mates, it was wonderful.  The newly baptized people gave great testimonies which strengthened my testimony.    W went to a new investigator’s house, she has siblings that are members and relatives that have pretty high up callings.  She wants to be a member, it was a tender mercy we found her.   Later we were teaching another investigator that has many questions.  When he saw the Book of Mormon, his interest was really piqued.  The Book of Mormon is power, it’s so amazing.  I know it is true and its from God.  Then we were able to teach a progressing investigator and he is now living the word of wisdom!!  We were pumped!    We felt to talk to an investigator we haven't been back to in a few weeks.  It always seemed like she was hiding but turns out she just got sick and so did her kids.  She is willing to listen again, that was a tender mercy.  We were so happy.    It was kinda late but we had one more person we said we would go visit.   We had time, but we didn't want to bother them but felt we needed to go and it’s a good thing we did.  They welcomed us right in, they are fire.  They are looking for the truth.  They have a great story that shows the Lord prepares people.  So exciting and a great close to the day. We were so thankful and humbled because we saw many tender mercies and the Lord's hand in the work.  

   Sunday was great too.  We had many people come to church which  pumped us up because we had some less actives come back. We were so happy.  It’s good to see anybody come back.  Miracles are happening.  We went on splits in the afternoon, which turned out good.  We were able to visit a lot of people, it was a great week.  It helped me learn a lot and deepened my trust in the Lord.  I know that the Lord can do miracles for each and every one of us. I hope you all have a great week.
