I hope you have all had an amazing week and that you have an amazing Thanksgiving!! There truly is so much to be thankful for!
This has been a good week! We're seeing lots of miracles! I absolutely love serving in this branch! Being in YSA is so good!
This week we were able to find a lot of new people to teach! It was so fun going out and talking to as many people as we could!
We
are still working with that guy who is getting baptized soon. We had a
really cool lesson with him on Saturday. We taught the law of tithing
and he thought it was great! We asked him about church and he said he
wasn't planning on coming. That's not good because in order to get
baptized you need to come to church. We took some time to talk about the
importance of coming to church but by the end of the lesson we were
unsure if he was going to come or not. Sure enough, Sunday morning he
was there ready for church! This time with a shirt and tie! It made me
so happy! It's been so cool to see his conversion is such a short period
of time! He is an elect!
This week we also
had zone conference! It was so good! One of the things I pulled out of
it is the importance of constantly preparing so that we are spiritually
capable of responding when God asks us to do things. His will should
always trump our own. The things that matter most in this life are the
things that center us on Jesus Christ. I learned that there is a lot of
things that are "good" and "better" in the world. It's tempting to be
distracted by them. But what we really need to focus on are the things
that are "best." It makes me think of the story in the Bible of Martha
and Mary. Martha was busy doing house work while Mary sat at the feet of
Jesus. Martha got annoyed that Mary wasn't helping but Christ responded
with "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;
but one thing is needful; and mary hath chosen that good part,which
shall not be taken away from her." There are a lot of good things we can
be doing, but we need to always remember what is best.
Have an amazing week!
