A
miracle we had this week happened when we were knocking on some
trailers where potentials lived. At one trailer a man named E
answered the door. He was super nice and was going to let us in so we
could teach him but only him and his brother were home. So he came
outside and let us teach him the restoration on his doorstep! He was
super open to it and we set up a return appointment! He also told us
that his sister might be interested in learning more as well!
Also
on one of the days we were in Puyallup we met this man named W. We
were knocking some doors in the neighborhood and all of a sudden there
was this man in his garage that was trying to tell us something. We
couldn't understand him at all because we were right by the highway so
the noise of the traffic was super loud!! As we got closer though,
Hermana Lewis
heard the man say, "Do either of you want to go out with
me?" I still wasn't able to hear that part but Hermana Lewis responded
by saying "No, but we can share a message about Jesus Christ with you."
Haha! It was so funny! The man said no to our offer about hearing about
Jesus Christ but that's when W came rushing out of the garage and
told us that he was interested in learning!
In
Preach My Gospel it talks about how there are people all around that
are being prepared to hear and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. It
also says that these prepared people will recognize the missionaries as
representatives of Jesus Christ.
In
the short time that we were able to talk to W I knew that he
recognized us as representatives of Jesus Christ. He was so sincere and
his desire to learn more is so strong! Everything from how he rushed up
to us saying he wanted to learn to how he talked about how he wanted his
wife to learn too showed that he was serious. It was such a cool
experience!
On Sunday
the C family gave talks on how we can be firm and steadfast in
Christ. They talked about a lot of things that help us endure to the end
and I thought it was funny because I am going home. They were really
great talks and very heartfelt. Hermano C talked about how we
always need to be prepared because Satan never stops trying to make us
lose our way. Satan is always going to try to make us fall because he
doesn't want us to have eternal life. Hermano C also talked about
the importance of helping the missionaries.
While
I was preparing to come on my mission I went out to teach people with
missionaries but I didn't understand the importance of helping with the
missionary work. Now that I've been a missionary and I've seen the
difference between investigators who have member fellowship and those
that don't I know that it is vital. I am so sad that I will not be a
full-time missionary for much longer but I am so ready to help the
missionaries and to still do all that I can to help people accept the
gospel and be baptized!
We
had a worldwide training just for the full-time missionaries this week
and the theme of the whole training was "teach repentance and baptize
converts." We heard from Elder Neil L. Andersen, David A. Bednar, Dallin
H. Oaks and other leaders. It was the first time the church has had a
broadcast like this in over ten years. It was really nice and the whole
focus was centered on Jesus Christ. I loved it because really the gospel
is so simple. Love God and follow Jesus Christ.
Also
one thing that helps us stay on the path that God wants us to follow is
the ability to act on the revelation we receive so here is the link to a
great video I love about revelation!
Love y'all!
