Dear family,
The week went well, and we had some good experiences one good
experience that we had this week was during a lesson. We have been trying to
find someone to teach for a long time because this area is so hard with even
making new investigators.
So, we decided to get
the members list and work with less actives. We went to this less active's
house and the person the answered the door was a 19 or 20-year-old girl that
told us that the person on the members list had moved. But we talked to her and
asked to leave a message. The message was actually super good, we all felt the
spirit and then when we asked her how she was feeling, she explained to us that
she was feeling peace and relieved of some stuff. We then asked her "what
does this mean to you" and she responded, "That this message is
true". It was a great message but the part that stuck out to me the most was the
way that we found her, it was with the intent to help a less active... To me
the Lord blesses when we help others and try to bring the lost sheep back to
the fold. We found someone with the intent to reactivate another. It was
the perfect way that the Lord could help us find someone that was ready to hear
His message.
My companion and I had
been feeling strongly about working with the less actives earlier. We knew that
baptism is the focus like president has told us, but we had been feeling
it.
I don’t believe that
Nephi knew had to build a ship, but when he went to the Lord, the Lord
instructed him, and he didn’t only instruct him how to build a ship but the way
that the Lord wanted him to do it.
This week I had a strong
impression to do something new in the zone. Every week we will all study
together during the week as a zone, one attribute of Christ, and then during
our district meeting we will invite someone to share an experience that they
had with that attribute. This week to start out this new idea we chose humility.
I’ve been praying every day and trying to understand humility better.
I am heartbroken that Aiko
has died, and she has been a member of our family since i could remember. But
it was the right thing to do...Things happen in our life that we can't control
and sometimes the Lord’s will isn’t what we want. But I feel a peace as I let
the Lord's will take its course.
"We can't control
the wind, but we can set the sail"
-Thomas S. Monson
Love you guys and I hope
that everyone has a great week.
