This week was special. I love
being able to testify about the Saviour EVERY SINGLE DAY, especially on
the week commemorating His suffering, death, and resurrection.
This
week we saw Maya and Matthew! We taught them the Plan of Salvation and
they opened up a TON. They asked lots of questions, but my favourite was
when Maya was like, "Why wouldn't people believe the Book of Mormon is true? They saw Him." Straight from the mouth of babes!
We
also saw Mary and Brian! I love those precious souls! We met with them
at the church, which was waaaay perfect atmosphere to feel the spirit
in! When we met with them at the church, we realized that it was perfect
because Priesthood session was happening. So the elders took Brian
under their wing and he went to the Priesthood session and loved it!
Then
we got to talk to Mary. She is so special. So sensitive to the spirit.
When she was expressing her doubts and fears, we heard President Clayton
walking by outside, so we ran to get him so he could meet Mary. He told
her, "I want you
to know that I have experimented with the principle of faith and I know
this gospel is true. And I'm excited to be at your baptism." We
went back in the room and Mary was like, "WOOOOWWWWWW! I felt really
good!" She knows what she needs to do. We pray that the Lord will help
them move forward with faith.
Aubrie Waldron, they WILL get married and they WILL get baptized.
Also,
cool thing. During weekly planning, we had been brainstorming who might
be a good fellowshipper for Brian. We thought of Doug, our recent
convert, who is SO CONVERTED and high on the gospel, so it's perfect.
So, we introduced them on Sunday, and you'll never guess... but THEY
KNOW EACH OTHER. They grew up together in the same small town and hadn't
seen each other in over 40 years! Talk about inspired planning!
We
also had a meeting this week and someone asked President a question
about how to get investigators to do this or that, and President goes,
"I want to tell you something...you don't want to act like Satan." It
was quite the inspired counsel.
Oh!
We saw the dear Sister Chung this week, as well! She is Chinese, but
has a Jamaican accent and her daughter's name is Courtney so when she
yells her name, I always cringe or say "what?" without even thinking.
haha. She fed us pizza and then we helped her clean! Yay for service!
She is so special. I love her.
We
also saw Donna! She fed us breakfast and then we talked about
missionary work. She is SUCH a missionary, especially because she came
to teach Doug with us after. She just wants to be Mother Teresa so bad.
What a cutie.
We
also had ZONE COUNCIL this week! We talked about using How to Begin
Teaching throughout the teaching process and about overcoming fears and
about "ROUNDING UP" everyone in the household when we go to teach
lessons. It was awesome because after that we went and taught a lesson
and applied the counsel given and we saw IMMEDIATE BLESSINGS because not
only did we teach our investigator June, but also her brother and her
boyfriend. SWEEEET.
OH!
And we met with a LA member, Ruth and her husband. But before we asked
her if there was anything in particular that she wanted us to teach
about and she asked if we could address the importance of loving others
and not judging.
I love y'all, have a great week!
