Last Tuesday after district meeting we went to this guy's house named Tony. He is actually the investigator of our district mates but he works in our area and is in our area a ton, so we did some tag team and we taught him. He is so cool. He will get baptized. (but in the other area haha). We taught some great lessons. My favorite was when we read 3 Nephi 11 with some investigators. It was so powerful. I felt the Spirit and I know they did too as we read the account of the Savior's ministry in the Americas. I love the Book of Mormon.
On Wednesday we had a very tiring day. We got punted and also found a ton, it was worth it though. We were able to get some return appointments and found a guy we had talked to about a month ago. We had been looking for him for a while and finally found him, it was a tender mercy. We also had an investigator make huge steps forward. She read the Book of Mormon and prayed about it!!! The best part is that she said she feels good about it and that its true. Her testimony is coming along, it's so awesome!
On Thursday we had another great experience of reading the Book of Mormon with investigators. That book is awesome and comes from God. I am so thankful for the Book of Mormon. We taught some recent converts and we can see a new light in their eyes and home. They are just happier as a family and more united. It's so cool to see how the Gospel changes lives. This evening we were punted but had a tender mercy. We were super punted then suddenly thought to go visit a family. I had only heard their name before but knew the general area where they lived. We found less actives and this guy we had talked to yesterday who lives with a less active. What are the chances? It was incredible. Like our mission president always says "it's redirection and not rejection". I can testify that that statement is true and it applies to all of us in our lives. When something doesn't work out then that means the Lord has something better in store for us. Just gotta trust and keep going.
On Friday we had zone conference. It was amazing! The spirit was really strong and I learned a ton. I can't forget to mention the delicious food we had too. We had interviews with president Koster. It was awesome as usual. He is so inspiring.
On Saturday we had a great day. All of our appointments worked out. In the morning we had set an appointment with this guy we had talked to and he was actually there waiting with his mom and sister who listened too. We reviewed the Plan of Salvation with a member coming back to activity and she loved it. I realized that sometimes I take my knowledge of the Plan of Salvation for granted. It made me realize how important it is and valuable and how much people want to have the security from knowing God's plan. We taught many other lessons today.
Sunday was good too. We discussed the atonement and helped some people. The senior couple fed us burgers which was very good. Some investigators made progress and we had great lessons.
Earlier today we had an activity. We went to a cultural site here and the senior couple fed us, it was delicious. Great day. We had a great week and looking forward to another great one. Take care everyone
