This past week has been a little bit different. It was a
great week though. Most of our investigators have been sick so it seems like it
has been forever since we have seen them. We spent a lot of time
following up with all the people we have contacted and set up appointments with, however a lot of them fell through. Also, we are in the process of
putting a lot of our records online now, so we can work more united with our
ward mission leader and so he can see our weekly plans to follow up with us
throughout the week.
On Friday we had a great lesson with Hermano Lapop, an inactive member. He pulled out his mission journal when we were there. We had a
great lesson helping him to remember how he had once felt as we used scriptures
from Alma 5. We then eventually were able to get him on
his knees to pray and simply ask God what he would want him to do. So, he
prayed out loud for us and then we stayed on our knees in silence for the
answer. Afterwards he expressed to us what came to his mind and that he would
be going to church on Sunday and also asked us on Saturday to remind him. Well,
he was at church! =D. Also on Sunday, we all got up and sang a musical number, Elders of Israel.
This last week we had a ton of contacting experiences which
were pretty funny. We met this Polish man who is a fisherman as well and talked
to him for a while. One of the most unique people I have met. There were some
times were I had to pray and do my best to not start cracking up. Some of the
things that came out of his mouth were just so out there. Good thing is that we have a new friend who will give us great discounts on fish, squid
and whatever from the sea. I love talking to everyone! There truly is a whole
other aspect of joy and spirit that come from it.
I know that if we but strive to do our best to talk to those
around us about the wonderful and marvelous message we have, we will feel the
Spirit come into our lives in even more power and abundance. I say these things
in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
