Wow, we have had such a great week here! It was the best one Elder Trujillo and myself have had yet. We had a blast and were able to teach a lot of lessons. And we found some pretty sweet people to teach as well!
So last week we were in the library watching some stuff on Mormon.org and I was kind of looking around the room and I noticed a lady on a computer with her back facing me. All I could really see was the back of her head and her monitor. She was looking up videos of Jesus Christ on You Tube. I instantly had the prompting that I needed to share the church’s new video Because He Lives with her. So at first I kind of doubted the prompting and it kept coming back to me over and over, so I knew I had to do it. I pulled out a pass along card and put our number on it and planned to give it to her and show her the video as we left. As the time came, we were getting off the computer and I told Elder Trujillo I was going to go talk to someone. I walked over and trying not to be creepy just simply said "excuse me ma'm" and as she turned around, to my surprise, she was handicap. From what I could tell she had Down Syndrome to some extent. I was shocked and continued to tell her very simply about the video and she was happy to see me and talk to me. I gave her the card and she looked up the video and we left.
As I went on with my day, I was really wondering why I had such a prompting for such a different kind of situation. I knew by what I felt that is what Heavenly Father wanted me to do, but it was an interesting experience to say the least.
As the day went on, I started to realize why I had this experience in the library. That day we were led to find three new people to teach. Each person we found, we were prompted and specifically led too. We even drove past a house and I knew that we needed to go back and knock on their door and we did and we taught them! That day was filled with those kinds of miracles.
It is a testimony of mine that Heavenly Father will test our obedience. If we listen and we yield to the voice of the Holy Ghost, HE WILL BLESS US! But first, sometimes, we have to prove to Him that we are willing to follow Him and LISTEN. What a cool experience it was though! This work is so true!!
So we had an awesome turn out at church yesterday! We had a family we have been working with come for the first time! It was so much fun! They have three little girls and they all went to Primary and loved it! The mom also enjoyed Sunday School and Relief Society as well. It was such a success!! And when we went to pick them up they even turned down some Baptist church and told them they wanted to come to ours! It was so cool! There was also a big pot luck after church. The church out west could take some notes on how to throw together a pot luck. . . They know how to do it right out here!!
Things are looking a lot better for us here in Princeton! I am thankful for the prayers and all the support! I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, and am so thankful to be a part of his work. It has been such a life changing experience! I love you all and Keep the Faith!!
