Here we go again... My third week in Charter Oak!
1. We went to an adult FHE... We had the lesson. We went because a lot of less active people go to this FHE and not church... whats that about? ANYWAY we were about to visit and make appointments with them and Sister Robinson sang a BEAUTIFUL song!
2. We got to teach the Barraja's again this week. The mom and the 8 and 7 year old came like normal but also her son Hector who is 13. We had a GREAT lesson on the atonement and the 3 parts of it. During some tangent or something 8 year old Maya starts talking to her brother. She says, "Do you want to be baptized? Because I want to be. That's why I come here to learn and go to church. So are you going to be baptized?" She said it with the most sincere attitude I have EVER heard! He said he would be at the next lesson so we will see.
3. I got NEW SHOES!! LOVE them! Thanks mom and dad!!
4. We also got to meet with Sister Goeble, a less active. We did the Christlike Attributes in Preach My Gospel. She said she was lacking in the reading her scriptures part and because of that she was lacking in so many other areas. She pieced it all together on how when out scripture study is missing, other parts of our lives begin to lack.
5. We had Zone Conference this week. The last one with President Pike. It was AWESOME!! Some things I learned: "Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles." In 2 Nephi 31 is states the Gospel of Jesus Christ 5 TIMES! Must be important... And "Have confidence in yourself because Heavenly Father has confidence in you"
6. Favorite quote of the week at least is, "NEVER let your faith be difficult to detect" J. Ruben Clark
7. Favorite scripture of the week is, 1 Nephi 17:50. What trust Nephi had to say that. To make the water to be Earth?! I love it. We HAVE to have trust in the Lord. I have learned that many times on my mission.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
Sister Arbogast
