Confession... still haven't written in my journal but I'm starting again. But you don't care about that, you care about my week. Here are the highlights:
Japanese class - so a bunch of new people are showing up and are asking about us and why we have tags on, then this one dude walks in and he's like, "wait, missionaries?" And then explains in broken English, that before he moved he had been meeting with missionaries and got referred to the mission below us but might be transferring to our ward! Super cool!
Zone Conference - first one that I had to teach a part of. I thought our portion of it was pretty good. We focused on Mark 2 and helping others. They also talked relating Christ's tomb to the sacrament room and there are some cool similarities. Then President shared some clips from the Chosen and shared a message and literally inspired everyone. It was so cool!
Kat - right after ZC, had a lesson with her and read 2 Nephi 30-31, talked about baptism and she's tried before but her parents aren't supportive so she hasn't yet, even tho she really wants to. I felt the Spirit prompt me so I invited her to talk to her parents again. It's something I know she's tried before but I couldn't deny the spirit, we offered to give her a blessing right before she did it and she said she'd think about it, when she'd do it. Pls keep her in your prayers!
Jane - cool member who's preparing to go on a mission. She was a little nervous about teaching so we invited her to a lesson with Caitlin and it was fire. Members helping with lessons is the best, so ask your missionaries what you can do!
Bam - had a great lesson with her. We talked about how to read the scriptures and get answers from it, then covenants and how the Holy Spirit helps us, and then baptism. The spirit was so strong and some fire testimonies from CJ and Jessica. We asked if she would be baptized, and she's going to think about it. Her faith is great, she just needs to take a leap. Pls pray for her!
Caitlin - had 2 lessons with her this week, the first was on some of our more unique Doctrines and the scriptures behind them and she also told us how she's doing really good on her goal to quit coffee. The next lesson was at Brother Setos with 4 other people. We taught the Gospel of Christ and had 1 person share their testimony for each principle. It was so good and the spirit was so strong. And although she's receiving opposition from her parents, she's still slowly trying. Pls pray for her as well!
Spiritual Thought - Moroni 7:13
"...wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God."
I just wanted to share this scripture, because there will be times when you know the Spirit is speaking with you and there will be times where you may be unsure. But if you know it's for something good then I implore you to act on it. There is great joy when you listen to the spirit. I was nervous this week when I felt it prompt me, but afterwards that moment has turned into a great miracle. You'll hear about it next week. Love y'all and have a great week.
