On Tuesday I had exchanges with an elder and we had such a great day. We talked to so many people and were able to share the restoration. We even talked to a pastor at one point. We were able to find a less active family and part members, very effective day.
On Wednesday we exchanged back and there were a bunch of elders sick in the district so we went and helped them. We came home and got so punted. We just walked and walked and walked and no one was home, or they were busy or didn't want to listen, but the Lord still came through. We went to one last house and got punted, we were tired and ready to go home. We paused and rested a second when all of a sudden a whole family turned the corner (its dark and late) and so we talked with them and they were actually former investigators and invited us to come back. It was a small thing but it made the whole day worth it. Maybe the Lord redirected us the whole day so that we would be there on that corner at just the right time.
On Thursday we taught these investigators that are having a hard time progressing. The Spirit was so strong we could see they were feeling it. We hope it had a great effect on them.
On Friday we went to a very progressing investigator that is preparing for baptism. She voiced some concerns and we just felt the Spirit as we testified and answered her questions. She committed to be baptized again and is so ready. It was a miracle and shows the need for the Spirit in this work.
On Saturday we had a service project at a recent converts house. We helped mix cement (manually) and lay hollow blocks to finish a wall. The afternoon, we got kinda punted and actually took a wrong turn which delayed us but a tender mercy happened because we saw a less active we haven't seen in a while and were able to talk to him. It's the small tender mercies that make hard things not so hard. We also taught this great new family that we are excited about and the Spirit was so strong in the lesson.
On Sunday we had a great day at church. Many people came along with investigators. In the afternoon we had a missionary devotional at the district center and our mission president came and it was awesome. It was great for our investigators and recent converts to hear. This week I really learned about the power of the Spirit and how much its necessary for progression. I know this church is true and is led by a living prophet. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that we should read it everyday.
