We had another good week here in Regina! Not a lot happened, but I have a couple stories to share!!
So last week on pday we were asking some of the missionaries for advice with our car. The key broke so everytime we unlock it manually the alarm goes off. They told us they didn't know how to fix it but they asked us if we had checked our blinker fluid lately. I was like, "What is blinker fluid? I have never heard of that." They played it off really well though and had me convinced that we were supposed to change our blinker fluid every 3 months. They told us that our vehicle coordinator had a record of it so we should call him. Of course we did and asked him if we needed to change our blinker fluid.. We soon realized that there is no such thing as blinker fluid. Such a cruel joke:)
We had zone conference this week which was so great! It was kinda long because we got a lot of training on how to use the area book app and pretty overwhelming. We are slowly figuring it out though. I am still trying to decided if I like having the smart phones. It makes some things easier but also part of me wishes we still had flip phones!
Monday evening we saw some miracles!! We were stopping by a former investigator we found in our area book. It didnt have an exact address so we just kinda guessed. Turns out it was the wrong house and that lady that answered the door talked to us for an hour about how we needed to think about what we were doing and not do it basically. But then she was praying and saying how grateful she was that we came. It was very confusing. She told us it would be no use to knock on her neighbors doors.. As we were leaving we were going to go to another street but I felt pretty strongly that we should just stay. partly because I wanted to prove her wrong:) But also we soon realized that it was the spirit telling me to! The next house we knocked on was the former we were looking for. Then a few houses later we found someone else! Such a cool experience and a reminder to always listen to the spirit!!
Last week we had a supper appointment at a members house. It wasnt planned but she asked us at church if we had anywhere to eat and felt strongly to invite us over. We didnt really think much of it but were grateful to go! She had us help her peel some potatoes and she had to teach us how because we had no idea what we were doing. Later in the week we were at someones house and all she had to eat was potatoes but she needed help peeling them. Good thing we were just taught how!! We were able to help her peel the potatoes so she had something to eat. So I am glad that the member acted on the prompting she felt too or else we wouldnt have learned how to peel potatoes! Hopefully that made sense!!
President Craig shared a scripture with us at zone conference that I really liked.
1 John 2:3-6
"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."
He talked about how important it is that we are obedient to the commandments and for missionaries to the white handbook and preach my gospel, not just because we feel obligated or guilty if we don't, but because we love the Savior. We are exactly obedient because WE LOVE HIM!! That is a theme we have learned a lot as a mission and something I will take with me the rest of my life!!
Love you all so much! Have an amazing week:)
