So this has been a fantastic week in comparison to the rest of the time that I have been able to spend here! We were able to see many people coming out of nowhere wanting to learn more about the gospel and we were able to see 6 new investigators this week! A couple of them have been handed off, or have been reflected because of on the spot interest that has died out, but it has been great! It all came from a good district meeting and we have just eaten it up since then!
We have someone who we are consistently teaching now which is fantastic! His name is Wayne and it has been a struggle setting a time to meet with him because he had throat surgery but we were able to teach the Restoration this past week! It was so good! He was attentive and learned a lot from it! He is so good! He also came to the ward activity and was able to make quite a few new friends! We just can’t wait to be able to bring them to the lessons!
We also had a great zone meeting this past week! Something that hit me that I learned while I was in that meeting was not necessarily something that I heard, but something that the spirit told me. While we were in there this thought came to mind...and it was that "it is possible, very hard, but possible, to memorize all of the recordings of the miracles that Jesus Christ performed. However it is impossible for us to understand the depth of love in each miracle, or act of kindness that he performed. It is impossible to measure or even imagine of measuring the amount of grace and love that is intertwined with each simple act." As I have reflected on this over and over again, I have come to recognize more and more of the love of the Savior, and helped me truly realize what is helping me keep going throughout the whole week.
Hardest part of the week was getting sick. Saturday was alright but progressively got worse, then waking up Sunday and resting the whole day was the hardest. I never thought I was going to say this, but I don't think I like orange juice anymore haha! It was rough!
But in the end it’s all good! Sure love and miss yall!
Love
