It
is super cool out here. It seems that every week things are getting
better. Not all at once, but bit by bit, we are starting to do more and
more in the time that we are given. This past week we have had a
couple different miracles.
Monday, April 1st:
1) We
were able to teach two new people and we were able to give them Book of
Mormons with commitments to read and pray about it.
Tuesday:
2)
We were able to drop in on S., and have a focused lesson with
him about the Spirit World, The Resurrection Immortality and Judgement,
and The Kingdoms of Glory. And another one of S.' friends was
there listening about what we were talking about.
Wednesday:
3)
At N.'s home, she told us that she had been reading and praying
about the Book of Mormon and she said that she had received a witness
that it was true! She said that when we met with her before, it really
helped that we had clarified what exactly the Book of Mormon was. It
reminded me of Preach My Gospel when it says that it is extremely
difficult for someone to receive a witness that something is true, if
there is confusion about that thing.
Thursday:
4)
We were able to teach A., and when we went over to her home, she had
sat all eight people at her house down to listen to us, and her granddaughter, L., asked for a Book of Mormon to read and study.
So hopefully, we will be able to continue teaching L. as well as A.
Friday:
5) I was able to find ancestors that haven't had their temple work done, and I was able to request their names!!!
Saturday/Sunday:
6)
At General Conference, all of the questions that less active members
and investigators have asked to us were addressed in the talks that
were given! We were also able to teach O. about the Plan of
Salvation, and we have a time set up to teach him again this coming
week!
Monday April 8th
7) We were able to
continue teaching Y. (one of the people we had started teaching on
the 1st) about the Plan of Salvation, and she has continued reading, and
we were able to commit her to saying the prayer the next time that we
visit with her.
So this past week has been
really awesome. I will continue looking for more names.
Thanks
Elder Peterson
