Hello everyone! How are you all? I'd love to hear from you!
This week was crazy! We were running around teaching, finding having meetings and enjoying the warm sunshine!
We taught Delores a couple times and she is so awesome!! She also came to church on Sunday which was super great! We are excited for her baptism this weekend! Pray for her and that all goes well this upcoming week!
We got to help a member fix his fence that blew down this past windstorm we had. It was fun. Great to be outside and work hard!
We got to go on exchanges with the Assistants this week, I had lots of fun with the Elder I was with. He had served up here awhile ago and we taught some people that he had found and one that he had baptized so it was super fun to see those reunions and to work hard with him!
I've been thinking about how powerful prayer is lately, it seems to be something I write about a decent amount but I had a really neat experience receiving an answer to prayer yesterday. We had some issues arise with Delores' baptism and I was feeling quite stressed about the situation. I thought about things I had been studying throughout the past few days. About baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (coincidence, I think not). And then took my thoughts to our loving Father in Heaven in prayer. As I prayed I did my best to listen and to open my heart and mind to the Spirit. I received answers which I wrote down so I wouldn't forget. I still felt little uneasy even after getting answers, and quite honestly didn't know if those were the answers that would fix the problem. However as we tackled the first thing I felt prompted to do we saw very quickly an answer to our problem. It was a testimony to me that we get answers by study and by faith!
Sorry for that brick of text, if you read it all give yourself a pat on the back! Love you all!
