Week 74

Hello Everybody! Hope y'all had a great week! Mine was great too :) We had amazing experiences with following the Spirit that I would love to share with y'all....

So last Monday, we went to contact a potential that is the neighbor of our part member family. The lesson was alright, but you could also just tell that she was not ready to come closer to the Savior because of worldly things. We made a return appointment and she actually ended up punting us.. but we will try again this week! BUT! For the spiritual story... So as we were leaving we decided to visit a member family  that is super active. The Sister didn't come to church and her son said that she a had a really bad stomach ache. When they let us in, it really was bad. Pains since Friday! We asked what she felt about getting a blessing and she said right away call the Elders! We had training the next day, so all the Elders were in Sogod sleeping in the ZLs apartment, so we start calling all of them and no answers. For just 5 minutes though. Then they came over and totally helped the Sister... gave her some humor and a wonderful blessing! We were started to head home as we past another investigators house. And this investigator really isn't progressing either. Sister Stoehr never told me why, but for some reason we stopped. I told Sister Kaun that we needed to go back to that investigator. We did and we prepare to be punted from all that Sister Stoehr had said... but she let us in! We started talking with her and doing follow up on her lessons with the past sisters, then it happened. She opened up! All of it out on the table. She didn't tell the sisters her concerns before, she just kept denying them to come in. I know it was the Spirit that led us back there to help that sister resolve her concerns about the restoration and the importance of prophets and especially that of Joseph Smith.

As the week  continued we also had an amazing experience teaching our other investigator who has date. She really wants to get a BIG answer that it is true and that it is right. All that she is doing, but her friends keep getting in the way of the spirit. Them saying "Why are you changing?" "you were already baptized.. why are you doing it again?" "Who are you" sort of things.... And it has really torn down her spirits and her searching. She neglected her reading but still kept asking for an answer. We didn’t know where else to go with the lesson. We had just told her about us needing to do things to receive answers to our prayers and as I started going through my bag I saw it! A letter that Sister Stoehr told me to give to Kim. I give it to her and say "maybe this will help". There in the middle of all the bisaya was English with BOLD letters..."DON'T LET PEOPLE SCARE YOU AWAY FROM DOING WHATS RIGHT!"..... answer truly to her and our prayers. She has got back into her reading and is doing so good! Her date is moved to the next week though because of a vacation she had over Sunday, but we are still so happy for her!!! :)

Well, that was the really cool highlights of the week! hope y'all had great ones too! LOVES YOUS
