So I have officially decided that being a missionary in the summer time is the funnest! This week we saw some great success. Elder Wilkinson and I have been rebuilding this area like a lot. It has been a blast. We set a goal to hit twenty lessons for the week and we totally got it! I have never worked so hard with a companion like I do with Elder Wilkinson. We have been putting in a lot of hard work and the coolest part is we have been having a ton of fun while doing it! It’s great--he is such an awesome missionary.
This week we had a leadership council in Charleston and then we taught a zone meeting later in the week. This kept us extremely busy planning everything out and all of that. The meeting turned out very good. I feel like it was the best one I have taught or been a part of. I learned a lot from it. You can always learn from the spirit when you listen!
We are still doing a lot of finding. It has worked pretty well! We found six new people to teach last week and hopefully many more this week. I feel like I have gotten a lot better at talking to people. I love meeting people and finding out how the gospel can connect with them. We had a few people ask some awesome questions this week like, “Does your church teach that we came from somewhere before we lived on earth?” It is just cool Heavenly Father is leading us to his elect and prepared children.
Last week I mentioned a man we found by a miracle one rainy night right before our curfew. Well he is doing incredible! We have taught him twice since then and he is loving all of it. I have never seen anyone get so excited about our message. He stayed up till 5 am in the morning just studying the Restoration and prophets out of the bible so he can know if Joseph Smith was a prophet. We left him to start reading the Book of Mormon until we see him this week. It has been such a true miracle and blessing to teach this man! He has a family with a few cute kids and all I can think is that they will be perfect for the church! Keep him in your prayers please.
We had one part member family that we have been working with, the wife of the family. We had a powerful lesson with them and they were in tears--it was cool. We even gave them blessings. Then we really wanted them to get to church so we decided to pray and to fast all day Saturday to help get them there. They were the first ones in the parking lot Sunday morning. It really touched my heart. All I wanted to do was thank my Heavenly Father.
That's the report for this week! I love you all and hope this email does you some good.
Keep the Faith!
