Como les han Ido??
I hope that yall had a great week. This week was pretty crazy and cool and i definitely learned a lot! So at the beginning of the week we had everything the same, District meeting and all the good stuff. Then on Thursday we had the mission department from Salt Lake come and talk to us about some thing.
It was so crazy and awesome. I have seen not only how people are being prepared for our message. But how we have been prepared to be able to teach the people and do everything we need for them to be truly converted.
And it all started off with all the the General Authorities that have come.
First Elder Teh came and he talked about obedience and how we need to become more obedient missionary's and the blessing that will come from it. Second Elder Quentin L. Cook came and he talked to us about how we are the ward and branch builders of were we have been assigned, and how we need to go about member work and talking care of everything. Third we had Elder Kopischke come and talk to us about finding and how we can contact people better! And that we should contact everyone. Fourth we had the missionary department come. They talked to us about planning and how to teach better. They taught us how to teach the Restoration in 7 minutes, and i have a pretty cool experience from doing this. He also asked us if we are good Schedulers or if we are good Planners. Each and every time these General Authorities came they either said that His is the most power i have ever felt being a General Authority, or in this meeting i have never felt anything like this! It has been awesome to see how we have been prepared and the promises we have been given will happen if we do these things!
But so this week me and my comp were walking around tracking and contacting people. But the area we were in we didn't have a good feeling about. We had been through this same neighborhood about 10 times and i had never felt this way. So me and my comp started talking and we decided that we would leave this area and go to another area so that we can go home. When we got on this other street we just had a good feeling and a feeling of confer. We were walking down the street when we saw a man sitting on a porch with his head down. He looked up and saw us and we said hello to him and his face lit up. I was about to walk away when i just started to talk with him. And i didn't realize what i was doing. And he started to talk to us and he looked very happy. So we started to teach him the restoration right there, and it only took us 10 minutes. We asked him to pray right there for a answer that what we taught him was true. And he did and after he just sat there for a second and stared at us.
Then he said that we were the angels that he had been praying for, and for someone to come and help him in his time of need. And that hit me so very hard that we had been prepared over these couple of weeks to be able to teach and do all these things we have learned. It was by far one of the most powerful lessons that i have had in my mission! He said we can come by anytime to visit and talk with him. We got all his info and went off and taught 2 more Restoration lessons on that street! It was crazy!
But I hope that yall enjoyed conference as much as i did! I learned so much and there was so much good stuff in there that we can apply to our lives! We truly have inspired leaders and i have seen that first had with everyone that has come here to help us out! But i hope yall have a great week and keep doing the things that your suppose to! I love and miss you all and i am always praying for you!
