Well another week in Itu went by well. We started working in
a completely different part of our area and we've seen some great progress
already.
Such thing as luck?
One of the families that we started teaching this week is a
single mom with three kids. They understood very well and want to come to
church. When we went to our second appointment that week they weren't home and
we went on to another house. As we were in another appointment the young man's
phone rang and it was her. She had called him because she heard we were
teaching him as well and asked him to tell us she'd be home later and that we
should still go over. In that visit she accepted a baptismal date and we had a
really good lesson with her. It was cool to see how the Lord prepared
everything just right so that we could still teach them even though we'd missed
thrm earlier in the day.
Lucky again
So we had lunch this week at a neighborhood a little ways
out of the city so the member was going to pick us up to bring us there. He
ended up taking for ever and a half and a 10 minute wait turned into a half
hour then an hour and then nearly two hours waiting for him. We got a call
while we were there from an investigator that we'd lost contact with for two
weeks because she travelled to see her mom who is sick. A few minutes after we
talked to her she got off the bus right at the stop where we were waiting and
we were able to converse with her better and hear how she was and invite her
back to church and everything. It was really cool.
One of my growing experiences this week was when I started
to apply something that I read in the Message from the First Presidency about
Preparing for our prayers. Elder Eyering talked about how we should ponder what
questions we want to ask, what we're thankful for and who we want to include in
our prayers as we go to pray and that we should have something with us to write
down the inspiration that comes. I've seen a huge difference in my prayers as
I've started using this approach, check out his message:
Well, I don't believe in luck, God is always preparing the
details of our lives to work out the way it needs to be.
Have a great week everyone!
Elder DP
