his week was so wonderful!! I hope I can remember everything that happened!
First we had our last zone conference with President and Sister Craig this week. It was pretty sad to think it was the last one. They are so amazing. The whole zone conference was just them training us since it was there last one. It was so great!! We talked a lot about exercising and developing the faith to see miracles. I learned so much! I hope President Hitchcock is just as amazing as President Craig. I am sure he will be!
We started off the week with a lot of appointments cancelling on us so that was a bummer. Mostly supper appointments:( But because of it God was able to guide us other places and we were able to find! So there was definitely a reason for them to be cancelled!
On tuesday after zone conference we were walking down a street that we had just started tracting. We saw this guy walking towards us and the spirit told me to talk to him. So we walked towards him and he turned the other way towards a house. I wasn't about to give up though. I knew we needed to talk to him! We walked over to him and he was a little hesistant to talk to us at first but then he opened up and told us that he had met with missionaries about a year ago! Things started clicking in my mind and I had actually remembered hearing about him from some other missionaries. It was crazy we were able to find him! He is YSA aged so we passed him off to the elders but it was so cool we were able to find him. God definitely led us there. We were also able to find a couple from the Philippines. We were in the area because of a cancelled appointment so god led us to them too! And they know our ward mission leader so that was cool!!
We also did quite a bit of service this week. We helped a member move and she gave us the address to her son who recently went inactive. Hopefully we can help him come back. We also helped the ward clean the church. And finally we helped the Philipino association put raw pork on wooden sticks for a festival happening in a couple weeks. I stabbed myself several times but we were able to talk to lots of nonmembers so that was great! And they even taught me some tagalog. Our chinese investigator taught me chinese too. And we had supper with the family from Mexico so I was able to brush up on some spanish too. Who's to say this is an english speaking mission??
We had another appointment fall through with a less active and part member family. But we decided to take the opportunity to stop by another less active in the area. She is really hard to catch because she is always working but by some miracle she was home! SO she let us in and it turned out that she was having a rough day so we were an answer to her prayers!!
One more miracle for the week.. We got a media referral this week. Her name is Joyce and she is from Nigeria. We were able to meet with her last night and I believe that she is super prepared. She requested a bible but was also very open to the Book of Mormon. I am excited to see what happens with her! I hope that God will continue to work miracles.
At zone conference we learned and studied about Drawing on the Powers of Heaven...
1. Select Righteous Desires
1. Select Righteous Desires
2. Plead your case before the lord
3. Exert yourself mentally
4. Sustained effort
We were able to apply this process after zone conference and definitely saw many miracles because of it!! It was a wonderful week as a missionary for the Lord's church!! I am looking forward to another one!
