Fam,
The Lord has
been taking good care of us here and making sure that we have been able to find
plenty of people to teach. It has been a lot of fun! To start the week off,
once preparation day ended on Monday we got out and we were walking around
knocking doors and talking to people. The second door that we knocked on was a
lady named D
While we were
on exchanges, Elder Bird was with me in our area and we had an appointment with
someone but it ended up falling through. It was unfortunate because we put a
lot of preparation into that lesson with the investigator and we weren't able
to use it. So we stopped by a potential in the area, named Nancy, and we taught
her instead! It was amazing, the Spirit was so strong as we talked about the
Plan of Salvation with her. It was exactly what she needed to hear because her
daughter died a while ago and her father is going to pass away soon as well. I
have a very strong testimony that the promise in Doctrine and Covenants 100:6
that says: "For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very
moment, what ye shall say." We hadn't necessarily planned to teach her
that or to teach her anything but we did put forth our effort to prepare the
best we could and because we did, the Spirit guided us to teach what Eva
needed. I believe it works the same way with life and all that we do each day.
If we sincerely prepare and do our best with the situation we are in, no matter
what the outcome, the Lord will bless us to know what to do in that very hour.
On Saturday we
were supposed to have dinner with a family in the ward but they couldn't end up
doing it so they talked to another family in the ward to see if they could
cover for them (it was meant to happen). So before we went to dinner we decided
to knock doors by the member's house and the first door that we knocked on a
guy named Matt answered. He immediately let us in to teach him. We had to leave
in 10 minutes for dinner so we asked him if we could come back in an hour after
dinner was over to continue teaching him and he said that we could. So we came
back an hour later and he is so solid! He just went through a rough divorce and
has been trying to recover from an alcohol addiction and has been looking for
the true church that he can get baptized into. We had the best feeling about
him, it was such a sweet miracle!
We had an
awesome lesson with Eva and with her friend Beth (picked her up as an
investigator) on the Plan of Salvation as well. At the end of the lesson we
extended a baptism date to Eva for July 15 and she accepted and is preparing
for that date! We're pumped!
Anyways, I hope
y'all have a good week!!! Get that cake!!
