So this week was crazy! We had so many lessons fall through, but yet we saw so many miracles!
Tuesday I gave a training on the Holy Ghost. I talked about how the Holy ghost is the vehicle that drives your words into the investigator's heart. We need to keep that vehicle fueled up and running well, through study, listening, loving, and obedience.
Last night Sister Terry and I were tracting and just felt like we needed to be somewhere else. We gave our investigator, Sister Rebecca Jones, a call and asked her if we could visit her. We ended up staying and listening to her for about an hour talk about her rough week. She was very lonely that night and really needed a friend, so we were so glad we decided to follow the spirit and go there. She has a less active member husband and she has been investigating the church for over a year. She then went on to tell us that she was thinking about baptism a lot that day and praying to know if that is what she should do and then we called her on the phone asking to stop by! She now has a baptismal date set for March 21st on her wedding anniversary!
Apparently I now sleep talk, Sister Terry heard me talking about the Book of Mormon at 1am. I just told her well, I could always use more role playing, may as well use my time more effectively while I sleep!
We weren't able to see Daniel at all the last two weeks until this morning! We took some time out of our preparation day to teach him. He isn't getting answers and we told him he needs to put in the effort and work to get the answers. He needs to pray and then read with real intent and pray again. We challenged him to put in that effort this week everyday and promised him that if he did he would get an answer. So my prayers and fasting this week will be for him!
Three of our less actives came to church this week and bore their testimonies!
Best part of the week for last! Elder Nelson and Elder Robbins came to speak to us on Friday! We each were able to shake their hands and hear them speak to us. Russel M. Nelson talked about overcoming "the gap" or feeling unworthy or like you aren't living up to your calling. He said we can overcome that with enthusiasm. En: in Theos: the spirit of the Lord to enthusiasm means working in the spirit of the Lord. He also gave us an apostolic priesthood blessing, which was so amazing! He blessed us to live as true disciples, to feast upon Christ's words and apply them, to be an attraction to all contacts, with health and safety, loyal and faithful, and exactly and totally obedient to qualify for miracles.
Love,
Sister Jones
