I LOVE THE LIVING CHRIST. My favorite part is the paragraph where it says "We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary". I can testify with those apostles that He lives. He is an eternal being and His life is central to all of mankind. It is very interesting that you say that it would be easy to give up. because it would. It would be really easy but so not worth it. Its hard to keep an enternal perspective but when we do we are able to see that it is better to stick to the rod and keep your head up.
This week we had zone conference and it was awesome. President Smith spoke to us about making spiritual goals for our mission and for our life. I was able to envision what I want to be at the end of my mission and where i want my life to be spiritually. We also got phones at zone conference so now we have a smart phone which makes it super nice to communicate with people because we can hotspot and use internet wherever.
On wednesday we were suppose to have a lesson with our investigator Arturo but his wife would not be able to sit in on the lesson so we could not go in and I was so mad about this specific rule. It was such a harmless situation and we don't have a lot of memebers that can come with us but we were obedient and rescheduled for the next day. Well we went finding and we came in contact with a less active that we didn't even know lived in our area and now we have contact with him and are going to start meeting with him! Then the next day we found some members to come with us to the lesson and we had a really good lesson and afterwards the members were so grateful and said they had been praying for a spiritual experience. So it all worked out. God works in His way and will bless us when we are obedient :)
On Friday we were finding and we tried a door that the english elders said they talked to and they were hispanic. A lady opened the door and when we said we were missionaries, she told us to come in and started telling us how she had been praying all day for help because she was going through a hard time and then we showed up. Coincidence? I think not :) She is from Puerto Rico and met with missionaries there! She also came to church with her daughter! So so awesome :)
On Saturday we went to this park Gypsy Hill Park to go finding. We spotted a hispanic man and worked up the courage to go talk to him. He has only been here for 3 months and does not speak any english so he was so suprised that we could speak spanish! It was awesome. He has also talked to missionaries in guatamala and was really willing to accept a Book of Mormon. We are going to start teaching him english in the park and teaching him the lessons :)
We also tried a different form of finding...Walmart finding. We were able to talk to a guy but he is a truck driver and was just staying the night in the parking lot but we are excited to keep trying this form of finding :)
ok...So I have been talking to this guy on facebook for almsot 2 months. He came to Virginia 2 weeks ago and he wanted a Book of Mormon. So we met him in the park and gave him the Book of Mormon and he said that he is going to use it to stop smoking. He wants to read it when he feels like smoking :) So that is awesome!
sorry this is a long one! Love you all! have a great week!
