On Tuesday I had exchanges with a newer elder, it was awesome. We had some great lessons and saw miracles and tender mercies as we found new people. One thing that happened is we were walking somewhere and then I realized that there was a shortcut and that shortcut took us by a member who said she was waiting for us because she was sick and wanted a blessing. It was so awesome. Just by small things the Lord can use us.
On Wednesday we taught some great lessons. The best lesson was one we taught about 1 Nephi 8. It just had a great impact on me as we taught it. It applies to our lives so well. I would encourage everyone to read it and ponder it and then ponder how it applies to your lives and what things we can do to hold to the rod tighter.
On Thursday I had exchanges with another missionary who is newer. We were able to do some service. We really felt the spirit as we taught the Plan of Salvation. Our life is so important to God's plan and what we do here. We went with a member to contact his referral. That experience strengthened my testimony that members are really needed in missionary work. Without the member we would never have met this man and his family. This man did not want to listen at first but because the member came with us the man's heart was softened and he agreed to listen. It's a whole new family which could be really great for the branch.
On Friday we were punted and got redirected to this family of former investigators that used to live across from the branch president but with transfers of missionaries and stuff they hadn't been visited. They were nice and I think they have potential. It was great to meet them. We had a tender mercy happen at 8:45 pm. We were hurrying home and it was going to be close when a miracle tricycle came and we were able to get on and get home on time.
On Saturday we taught a few times but also went by a ton of people to get them to church on Sunday. Saturday night we had an FHE at the referral we met on Thursday, it was so amazing. The branch president came and they invited their neighbors. There was tons of people. Through that we found new investigators and member miracles. Members are so powerful in missionary work.
On Sunday all those people we found from the referral came to church and we had very high attendance. It was so cool to see the Lord work miracles in the area and how the work progresses. It was awesome too because last week we had no investigators at church and very low attendance and then yesterday it was the opposite. The Lord is leading the Church and the work, I know this Church is true. I hope you all have a great week.
