Well another week has for some reason decided to end. Which means I get to
email you all! Woo!! Yay for you!! Last pday was the dreaded deep clean pday.
Where we get to stay inside and clean our apartment all day long... It is good
though because a lot of apartments need it. Ours was pretty good but we made it
better. Hopefully we pass our inspection! We had a cool little miracle that day
though. We were in the truck about to go knock on doors. The Lord prompted us to
take a Plan of Salvation pamphlet. So we did. The last door that we knocked on
was a woman who recently lost her mother. She was still visibly upset. We gave
her the pamphlet and testified of eternal families and of God's love. She
invited us back. It was a really cool experience for both of us. The Lord
prepares us to help His children. So here is the real miracle of the week. Are
you sitting down? Good me too. So I don't know how much I have told all of you
about Rosalie. She is our Jewish investigator. She isn't really progressing and
told us that she just wants to learn about our faith to know the truth of it and
not what others say. Well... She read the Book of Mormon on her own and we know
that that is how we gain a testimony. We came back for a lesson and she
recognized the spirit! She told us that she felt good about what we say and when
we come over. We testified of the Holy Ghost and promised her that she knows
this is true. She told us that she didn't expect to be where she is when we
started meeting. It was so cool to watch the Lord soften her heart and help her
to gain a testimony. It is a small testimony. But the beginning of a great one.
It was so cool for us. We got to help some people move rocks this week. We
carried them in 5 gallon buckets up 2 flights of stairs. They are not members of
the church so it was really cool! We had MLC this week. We got to hang out with
President for the day and see all of our Zone Leader buddies. That is always a
ton of fun. We also got to feel the spirit and receive revelation for our zones.
That is the best part. Zone training the next day was amazing. The spirit was so
strong as we talked about how we progress. We talked about how the knowledge
that we are sons and daughters of God is what makes us want to progress. When we
understand that we are literally His children we desire to be like him and be
better. It was powerful. I loved it. Hopefully the zone enjoyed it as well! So I
received and interesting assignment this week. One of the members of the High
Council asked me to speak with him in the Spanish Branch in a couple weeks. I
excitedly accepted the invitation. My topic is repentance and how to teach it to
people. He also asked for stories of recent converts. 10 - 15 minutes. So it
should be interesting! I am excited for the chance though. That is pretty much
all that happened this week. We are still looking for more people to teach the
gospel too! God loves all of us!
