First off so jealous of you guys going to the Provo Temple! I would die to go there. It looks so awesome! And I bet the spirit is so strong there.
So this week was actually really good. I stopped feeling down about some things going on and I just went to work! I have been working really hard on some personal things this week and the more humble I can become the more the spirit can be present. I really worked on it this week and we are seeing much success.
This week some of my favorite scriptures I read and also memorized is
Alma 7:13
3 nephi 5:13
D&C 84; 85
D&C 88: 77-78
We had some miracles happen this week as well. We have been trying really hard to get members to come teaching with us. The church has some strict rules about elders seeing any women by themselves and we always need a member to be present. Also it helps because members can relate well with these people.
Well to make a long story short on Thursday we were able to get 4 member lessons with 4 DIFFERENT members!! it was so amazing the lord works in mysterious ways. Definitely a blessing
One thing that we have been praying for is to find and meet those prepared people so last Sunday we were on our way to Dawn's to eat. We were hungry and drained from a long day at Church because every Sunday every class is basically missionary run. I teach Gospel Principle class and then me and my comp trade off each week teaching Priesthood. And we also give talks a lot and help do the sacrament as well. So church is awesome but after it is over we are drained from teaching.
So we were on our way to dawns but we felt the need to find one person on the way. It was a long shot but we stopped at one house. A lady came out here name was lynda. As sweat was dripping down and smiles on our face we shared the message of the restoration the best we knew how. After we finished she said we were an answer to prayers. and that she has been looking for truth her whole life. we had the opportunity to teach her the plan of salvation this week. the spirit was so strong and as we shared more and more of why we are here and where we are going. The light bulb kept clicking in lynda's face. She literally said out loud wow it all makes sense now. This week she came to church yesterday! She loved it. As I taught about the holy ghost in gospel principles, she raised her hand and she shared with us the story of us finding her to the class. She told us that she knew it was the Holy Ghost that was giving her a warm feeling the whole time we shared the message with her. She told us she knows the Holy Ghost was there to bear witness that what two hungry, tired missionaries shared is true.
We are going back to see her this week and hope to set up a baptismal date! She is a grandma and she wants us to teach her husband and all her kids and grandkids so we are very blessed to be able to have found her.
The lord works in mysterious ways.
I love this work and see miracles happen all the time. Honestly wouldn't want to be any where else.
