This week was another pretty good week for us here in Regina!! On Monday we were teaching our investigator Joyce and she had a friend over so we invited him to join us. We were into the lesson and I wasnt sure if he was paying attention or not so I asked him a question. He looked at me and said, "I dont know".. Then I asked him another question a few minutes later and he said.. "I am a little scared of you. I dont know what it is, your like a principal.. but a nice principal." hahah it's funny because we actually had another investigator who compared me to a principal. I guess I am just too intimidating. That's probably not a good thing so I will half to lighten up this week a little bit:)
Lil is still doing so amazing and on date to be baptized on the 15th. She is so sweet and has such a good heart. Continue to pray for her!!
We got out of a lesson one night this week at about 8:45.. We were pretty close to our apartment so we decided to go tracting for a few minutes before 9, the second door we knocked on was a cute family! They let us in and we talked a bit about the book of mormon and plan of salvation. They were pretty open to hearing what we had to say and very welcoming to have us go back! We went on exchanges so Sister Jackson went with one of our STL's for the return appointment and they said it went well! The dad is a lawyer by profession so he is a bit skeptical about have the spirit and Book of Mormon be the evidence of Joseph Smith as a prophet. He said he is willing to try though so we will see what happens. Maybe Ted will have some good tips for us:)
We also had our last interviews with President Craig this week. It was pretty sad but he is so great! I know I say this almost every week but I am going to miss him and Sister Craig so much!! I think our whole mission will.
I got to go on exchanges with Sister Gillespie this week. She was one of my companions in the MTC so that was fun to be with her again and to see how much we both have changed. Really not that much but it was so great! We were able to teach a Vietnamese couple using google translate! (One of the perks of having smartphones). They are getting baptized this week!
Another miracle.. One night we had a couple lessons planned but they both fell through so we had a few hours to go tracting.. We went to the street and when we were almost done with it we saw a young man walking around the neighborhood selling vivint security systems. I turned around to talk to him and he was a little caught off guard but he started talking to us and said, "oh you are the mormons right?" Turns out he is from BC and he was actually baptized a few years ago after he moved here from China. Although he is not active anymore. We tried to address some of the concerns he had with the church and then made a deal.. We told him that if he prayed and got a sale this weekend then he needed to come to church. He agreed! So Sunday morning we texted him to see if he got a sale. He called us a bit later and said that he didnt get a sale, but he helped one go through. He said he wanted to come to church! Plus he only lived a few minutes walking distance away!! We were super excited.. But then he didnt show up so that was too bad. But we will try again next week! He will come around!!
So in my interview with President Craig this week he gave me one last word of advice that I wanted to share.. He told me that no matter what, always put the Savior first in your life! He is the most important aspect of our lives and the whole reason we are here! After my interview I was reading my scriptures and came across a verse that went along perfect with everything he told me.
Alma 37:36
"Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whitersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever."
I know that as we center our lives and everything we do on Jesus Christ we will truly be happy!! Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Godderidge
