Hello All,
My week was pretty good. We did a lot of tracting. And we did find a few
potentials. We were tracting a street and we ran into an in active member who
said that she was praying for an excuse to come back to church, and she said
that us knocking on her door was a big enough excuse for her to come back to
church. She is living with a partner who is not a member, and he is open to
have us teach him and come around. We are hoping that we will be able to have
them get married eventually to where he can be baptized as well and so they can
have a chance at becoming an eternal family. I was happy to be able to knock on
their door and have an opportunity to teach them.
We got a media referral as well this week, to a family. We set an
appointment to teach them this week and it will be great if things go well. It
is always great teaching families because you can help them see the eternal
aspect of it, and make them want to join the church as a family. I am really
looking forward to teaching them!
We had our zone meeting yesterday where I gave my first training as a newly assigned
leader and it went really well. It was a great experience because I know for a
fact that the Spirit put words into my mouth that I never even planned to say,
and it was great because one of the sister missionaries in the Zone came up to
me afterwards and she said that some of the things I said touched her and made
her want to become a better missionary. I love being a missionary and doing
these things because I have never felt the influence of the Holy Ghost as strong
as I have as a missionary than I have in my entire life. I love receiving
revelation. I know that I am an inspired servant of God as a missionary. I hit
my year mark this week, I know that the 2nd half of my mission is going to go by
really fast and I am going to try my hardest to enjoy my mission because I know
I am going to miss it greatly when I am done. My testimony has been
strengthened so much as a missionary and to anyone that reads this who is
thinking about going on a mission, Do it. You will never regret it, You feel
Gods Influence stronger than ever, and you come to know without a doubt that The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on the earth
today along with helping others
receive the same testimony. I know with no doubt that this is the true church
and that missionary work is the work that needs to come forth in these last
days. The blessings are great! It brings me great joy and I love it!
I love being a missionary, there is no greater work. I miss you all and I
hope you have a great week!
Love
Love
