General Conference was fantastic this weekend!!! It
was so good to hear from the Prophet and from the apostles. I learned a lot and
I cannot wait to read them and really study them! They seem to stick a little
more when that happens :)
Kay even came to conference and she loved it!!! She
said that she was so grateful that she got to hear the prophet speak. She said
that she had never experienced anything quite like it before. She just did not
understand why other churches didn't have anything like this and why others
might not listen. We again taught her the importance of priesthood authority
and that of a living prophet today. It is inspiring to see how important the
Prophet is to her! She is still progressing towards her baptism on April 26th,
we just have to help her overcome a few more hurdles this week.
This week was fantastic!!! I mean of course it had
its down times -- appointments falling through, lots of rain which makes it
hard to talk to people, etc....-- but over all it was a really good week!! We
were able to find 4 new investigators and teach quite a few lessons!!! ( only 2
lessons shy of our 20 per week!!) This area has only been opened since last
September and then there was the FREEZING winter.... which made it really hard
to find new investigators, so this area is not thriving, but it is growing. I
am so excited to see what happens to it! Especially with the rest of this
transfer and the fantastic weather!!! It has been so nice this past week...
even on the rainy days it was still pretty warm. A much needed spring seems to
have finally made its appearance.
Something that I was reminded of this week from
Preach My Gospel is the importance of inviting the Spirit into our lives,
particularly when we teach. We are truly not the teachers... the Holy Ghost is!
The Holy Ghost must testify of spiritual truths. The Spirit then helps us
understand how we can individually apply these truths to our lives in order to
more fully follow Christ in our lives and keep our covenants. Again, I was so
grateful to listen to general conference this weekend! I was glad to learn
(through their words and the Holy Ghost) how I can become a better missionary!
Thank you for your love and support!!
Love,
