Well this will be a
quicky!!!!!
It has been a lovely
week this week. the weather has been alright, it seems to have its good moments
during the day as well as the cloudier darker moments. but we are happy, the
work is moving forward as president says and we are out enjoying every second
of it. so life is good!!! The week, like every other week has consisted of lots
of finding. it has been a very interesting experience learning how to talk to
people on the street and sharing the message of the restoration. I’ve realized
that more often than not, the most solid people that we find on the streets are
the people that we stop with maybe not the best approaches but with faith that
they will accept the invitation to meet and to learn about the restored gospel. It's the people that are searching for truth and hear even just a small part of
what we share on the street and feel that whatever "small part" is
can help improve the quality of their life. Those are the moments I have
enjoyed most on my mission, when someone’s countenance changes on the street
when we share and teach about the restoration. it is a testimony builder to me.
So the week was SOLID!
we were able to teach a super super cool English lad named S. He walked into
the Hyde Park chapel on Easter and felt the spirit very powerfully and was able
to take a few tours in the VC about the restoration. I personally feel so
grateful to have the greatest visitors centre in the whole world in my mission. It's the best haha. so we were able to commit him to come to church and he came!
so that was sweet!
We has stake sports on Saturday
and we played lots of football. To be honest, I could not walk after. I was so
tired. We were finding in town later and everyone though we were like 90 year
olds. so that was very exciting haha.
But life is good. The
Lords Hand was in all aspects of the work this week. I saw the Lords Hand in
J, the recent convert from Ghana. He came out teaching with us and was
bearing his own personal testimony of the restored gospel, the Book of Mormon
and the prophet Joseph Smith. It was such a sweet moment to be a part of.
I love you! You are the
best!!! STOKED THAT EAST LAX BEAT DAVIS!!! Super happy hahaha!! I love you!!!
No short cuts
