Howdy y'all, this past week we experienced many miracles and
tender mercies. Elder
Morton and I were tracting down a few streets in Chino, and we came across
several people who were quite interested in learning more, and said we could
come back. Also, we tracted into the parents of an investigator's family that
the Spanish Sisters are now teaching! Now that was meant to be! They spoke very
little English, but their son said they like Mormons and that we could come by
this week and talk more! Woohoo, I'm so pumped! We went and visited
less-actives with a returning less-active member, which was awesome! For the
past two or three weeks my bike hasn't been working well, and on Wednesday I
could no longer shift (it's the gear shifter lines that broke), so this
afternoon I took my bike in to a bike shop to get fixed, and I'll be picking it
up tomorrow. On Friday we had a great visit with a less-active member. Elder
Morton and I taught him the importance of the Book of Mormon and challenged him
to read it. I had such a strong feeling to just be direct with him and ask him
why he doesn't come to church, so I just flat-out asked him, and he simply told
us why, which is what I've been waiting for him to tell us this whole time
we've been seeing him! It's amazing how when we act on promptings from the
Spirit, we can do amazing things! I know without a doubt that I was guided by
the Spirit to ask certain inspired questions, and that the less-active could
feel the Spirit, as well as the power of our testimonies and the message we
shared. On Sunday we had a great stake conference, and Adrienne (recent
convert) came to all of it, which is good!
The
Gospel is real, and the Church is true! If we want to see blessings, we have to
live the Gospel; it's as simple as that! Have a great week, I love you all!
