This week was a lot better. Our investigator cam to
church!!! We have been trying to get her there for like a month so it was great.
Sitting next to her and her boys in the chapel was the best thing ever. We also
taught the plan of salvation lesson with her and it went really well. She has
been really stressed out for the past couple of days. She is putting her boys
back in school because she doesn't have time to do homeschooling, she is in
school right now, and since she is a single mom and doesn't have a job things
have just been piling up for her. She doesn't have very many friends and so we
are one of her main sources of support. I think that faith has really hit home
for her this week because she has just had to trust that things will work out.
She has been praying and she got a blessing from the Elders which really helped
her a lot. She is progressing slowly but I can totally see how the gospel has
helped her so much already. This week I got a blessing from one of the Elders
just because this transfer has worn me out since I have had to deal with some
extra stuff companion wise. The Elder gave me one of the most beautiful blessings,
everything he said was exactly what I needed to hear. It was a testimony to me
that Heavenly Father knows me and exactly what I am going through and what I
need because there is no way that that Elder could have know to say those
things. This week things have been falling into place, and through prayer and
trusting that the Lord is there to help me, I feel like things just always work
out. We have some church tours scheduled next week with part member families.
We have also been telling people we meet and less actives about conference. The
RS broadcast was awesome. I loved what they said about how keeping our
covenants is a reflection of our love for Christ. You should have seen the gym
for the dinner after mom. It was really cute and they had cakes at all of the
tables for people to try. This is the last week of the transfer so we will know
soon if things are changing.
Love you all!!!
