Hey, how ya going? What's it doing? (said that to someone on the street this
week. Elder Schubbert gives me a hard time about it)
We had a good week. Always do, even if it is a tougher one. You are
somehow always content with what is going on in your mission if you are trying
and doing what you are supposed to. Great thing to learn in life. So for
everyone to know, we got hit by a gnarly snowstorm. We got a little over a foot
of snow in the past 4 days. A lot of shoveling. It makes us stronger. he he The
city is just blanketed with a white snow. It really is beautiful.
But we met some cool people this week. Karen is from El Salvador and the
sisters found her. She is a great investigator because she says if she is
confused about something. Usually when we teach people for the first time they
just are like "oh, yeah I get it" and they nod their heads. But she is really open
and wants to understand what she is learning. So we are excited to keep teaching
her. She is a little hesitant because her boyfriend is Muslim and she doesnt
want to start problems and she just got pregnant. You can tell that she is
scared and is looking for God. I am excited for her to feel the light of the gospel.
We are also meeting with Jesus again. He has been reading again, and he said, "I
have temptations to go to church". We said that is a great temptation to give
into. He is a funny guy and laughs at me how much we invite him to be baptized.
He is a really open guy.
We had a really great zone conference and I learned a lot. We learned how
asking questions can sometimes be the best way to teach. Because it allows the
student to really think for themselves what the answer might be. It really gives
a great time for the Spirit to come and teach them something. Also we talked
about helping the people we are teaching have daily contact with Heavenly
Father. We are trying to really emphasize daily scripture study and prayer. It
really makes the difference in the world today. If we can have daily contact
with our Heavanly Father, we can have a daily reminder of the path that we are
on and the importance of staying faithful.
Luv You guys.
