Dear Friends and Family,
Not gonna lie, the beginning of the week was pretty disappointing. We talked to almost no one and struggled to teach anyone. We were working super hard, but nothing was happening. We then had Zone meeting and one of the zone leaders talked about conversion. The words of Paul really struck me, "Lord, what will thou have me to do?" (Acts 9:6) So, when we got in that night, I read and pondered Elder Ballard's talk from general conference about the Atonement. Then, I said my nightly prayer and asked the same question that Paul did. As I tried to squeeze every ounce of humility and faith out in my prayer, I had an amazing spiritual experience, one of the most powerful on my mission. I distinctly heard the words, "Come follow me." That is really the essence of conversion, following the example of Christ. Now with a positive outlook, we had miracles.
The H_______ came to
church, all 7 of them, and stayed for all 3 hours. It was pretty
awesome. Everyone in the family seemed to enjoy to meetings and
contribute to their classes. So all in all, the sacrifice was worth the
reward. Great things are happening here!Not gonna lie, the beginning of the week was pretty disappointing. We talked to almost no one and struggled to teach anyone.
