So this week was pretty good. Miracles have
happened!! This week we are picking up two new investigators. The Lord
blesses us when we do what he asks and we do all that we can. So on fast
sunday
we fasted that we would find new investigators and this past week we
got two. One is a boy that we thought was 18 so we handed him over to
YSA Elders. Then we get a call from the YSA elders saying that they set
up a lesson for us on monday. Come to find out he's only 17! Then on Thursday
night we went on splits with the relief society presidency and we went
to visit a less active family who we are working with to reactivate..
come to find out the daughter is 9 and unbaptized and she wants to take
to missionary lessons and get baptized! So excited! Thank you for your
prayers!
Also this week we had missionary leadership council and we
talked about administering and ministering. Pretty much it was about
different organizations and where the are at in a administering and
ministering and where we want to be as missionaries. And how we want to
be ministers unto people and we want to help perfect their testimonies.
And we do that through service and love. And we watchover people by the
spirit. Nothing fun fact, in our meeting we defined ministering as being
concerned about people who do the work. So helping people become what
the Lord would want them to become. I thought that that applies to us
all. We need to be ministers not just administers. Administers make
plans, ministers take action. This talk was perfect for our talk in
stake conference. It was pretty cool. Sister LaFond and I stood next to
eachother on the pulpit and spoke about how the best missionary work
we'll ever do is outside of meetings. We had to cut our talk short
because like all stake conferences they go over. But it was great and we
shared a scripture in Doctrine and Covenants that I really love. It's
about John Whitmer and he's asking the Lord about what is the best thing
he can do. And the Lord tells him that is to preach the gospel. If we
want to make our Savior happy we need to first convert our selves then
preach the gospel to those whom we know and love. So that we may rest
with them. D&C 15:6 "And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing
which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance
unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest
with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen."
