This week has been pretty good. We taught 8
lessons and did 10 hours of tracting. That's more than we have been
getting lately. We would have had more, but a bunch of lessons canceled.
It'll be alright though.
Umm...Stories about the holy ghost huh. Lets see... I will just mention some promptings that we have had from the
holy ghost since I have been here. About a month or so ago on Sunday
we went to church and saw that one of our less actives that we were
teaching didn't come to church. Also, the members that he lives with
didn't come to church. We didn't know at the time, but we were prompted
to go and visit them that night. When we got there we discovered that
there depression had taken a big tole on them that day. It was hard to
see them struggling so bad, but we read a scripture from I think D&C
21 with them and talked about the fact that Jesus Christ knows
everything that you are going through in your life. By the end of the
visit, they were all laughing and had smiles on their faces. That was
awesome to see how the gospel was able to turn them around for the
better. The best way to be a good missionary is to be a good example and
to be obedient so you can be worthy of the holy ghost. Something that
is super important as a missionary is to be obedient. If you are
obedient, then you will have the holy ghost with you, and if you have
the holy ghost with you then you will be able to listen to promptings
and if you act on those promptings then you will be able to teach with
power to touch the hearts of gods children. In Preach my Gospel chapter 4
I think it talks about the holy ghost. In there it says that we can't
learn anything except it be by the holy ghost. With one of our
investigators we have for sure seen this happen with him. When we
present a principle sometimes it contradicts what he believes, but he
has real intent to find out if it is true and so he sits there and
thinks about it in silence for a minute, then he just accepts it as if
something changed his thoughts around. That was for sure the Holy Ghost.
Another experience would be every time we give a priesthood blessing to
somebody. It's crazy because the holy ghost tells you exactly what to
say as long as your worthy of it. Umm I'm not sure what else to say other
than that the holy ghost definitely guides us as missionaries to where
we truly need to be and what we need to do and say. If your worthy to
have it with you then the holy ghost will bring to your memory what you
need to say in the time that you need it. That's a scripture, but I
forget where it's at. I hope that helps.
Umm...That took up like my whole hour. Woops...
This is Emerson getting a good meal and cheesecake for dessert.
O ya, there was a funeral for Linda. It went well. It was short and sweet and to the point. Tons of food afterwards. Some of Linda's family came up to the funeral as well. Only one of her children came though. It's better than none though.
I think that's it for this week. Love you bye.
