Here are the happenings for the week!
1. So we had this special training which was only for sisters. We did a training with our planners, you know the ones with our lives in them for 6 weeks. Long story short I forgot mine at the library and didn't have mine... oops. Then we had a special guest... yep... David Archuleta. He came and sang be Still My Soul and bore his testimony for the 22 sisters in our mission then left. And we had an AMAZING discussion on the talk, "His Grace is Sufficient" It was really good for sisters I think because we tend to lower ourselves. But it was nice to have a good discussion on how we all struggle but then how we all can help each other. It was REALLY nice!
2. Our investigator Alice... well we thought her about the Word of Wisdom knowing that she drinks coffee. We committed her to live the Word of Wisdom and she said yes. She has been wanting to stop but just hasn't. Then we had a lesson about prophets and how conference was coming up, she came and prayed for the prophet. She is doing really good!
3. Our other investigator Andrew is good too! He has started to change his life and only smoked a few of his cigarettes a day from a pack. He also had some more questions about the Plan of Salvation but we were able to answer them with the scriptures. When he realized what we were saying was true it was like a "oh yeah" face came to him.
4. Teaching this less active Chris B has been amazing. He has a little testimony and has just started to come back to church. We have been reading the Book of Mormon with him and teaching principles with in the reading. He wants us to have more structured lessons and bring his friends... LOVE the missionary mind he has!
5. I got to go to an old area and see a 9 year old girl I was teaching be baptized!! I walked in the church and when she saw me we RAN to me and gave me the biggest hug! She didn't leave my side the whole time! It was SO special and her confirmation was WOW! Talked how she was a very choice daughter of our Heavenly Fathers and how she will be the example ad spiritual strength her family needs.
6. Conference was AMAZING! I LOVED it! A few that I liked extra were... Sister Dalton "Be loyal to the royal within you" We are so royal why do we let degrading thoughts in? Elder Packer "Everyone who has a body has power over those who don't have a body." If we have the power why do we let Satan over power us? Which brings me to my favorite scripture for the week...
7. Alma 10:25- Amulek is asking these people Why does Satan has such a pull on our hearts? Don't let him! I know that it is one of the most frustrating things as we meet people. And like they said in conference... either it is a huge fraud and of the devil or it is true and of God. I KNOW it is of God. And its GREAT to share it with everyone!
Much love from Cali!
