Dear Precious Gems,
I testify that this life is a life of pure joy and where we
can truly see the hand of the Lord in every aspect of our lives. I can testify
that I have seen him truly in our lives this week in so many ways.
This week in Zone Training I learned about what does it
truly mean to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. it is when we strive to
become like him every day through our actions. It is also when we document in
detail how our lessons and our days in his work in our area books, daily
planners, and journals. As we do so, we are entitled to to more revelation.
Something that I learned as well from our Sister Training
Leaders is that we should be rejoicing always in the work with a smile on our
faces. It is the first message that we send to others that we are true
followers of Christ. And it gives people a seed planter to asking us why we are
so happy. It then leads us to explaining the great message we have for
them and how they can come closer to their father in heaven.
It really went hand and hand with our meeting we had in
district meeting from our training from Elder Rasband about how we need
to make sure that as we teach we want to make sure that all those that we
teach have clear understanding of the great importance of our message.
An amazing experience we had this week was when we went
tracking in our apartment complex. I testify that as we went floor by floor
that the spirit was working through us as we talked with each person. As we
went we were accepted into a home of a beautiful family. We went on to explain
who we were and what our purpose was. As we talked with them about their
background they said that they would be willing to for us to come back another
day to teach them a lesson.
We as we then went on there was another woman that answered
and at first was going to just say that she wasn't interested but as we began
to simply talk with her and following the spirit and sharing the pure life of
Christ with her that she finally told us to come over another day.
We went over the next day and as soon as we came inside, we
began to get to know her really quickly. She was amazing! This woman was just
filled with the light of Christ. And the spirit. WOW! I testified to her that
the Lord guided us to her home because she mattered greatly to him. The love
that was there for her, couldn't be denied. I know that he is constantly
thinking of her. As we continued to talk with her I felt prompted that we
should sing to her I am a Child God. As we sang it, the spirit just poured into
the room.
The next day we came by we showed her the video
"Because He Lives". One of the coolest part about the whole thing is
that she came over and sat in between us and held the little dvd player in her
hands. I felt that there was something that the Lord needed to reach out to her
at this time and there was something in the video specifically that touched her
and made an impact on her as she watched the video.
As we continued teach her afterward, the spirit was there.
Near the end she invited us to meet her daughter the next day. She then went on
to explain that all that we were teaching was really good. But for her, she
felt that it was not really needed in her life. Even though she told us that
she didn't really want to continue to learn, I felt the spirit that we were
guided to her door and to meet her with these only two days because this was
the big seed planted in her life.
I know that God lives and that he is fully aware of us.
The biggest miracle this week is seeing one of our whole families come to church. Sister R and I saw at first only two of them in the distance,
but then all the children ran up behind them and then the rest of the women. It
was the best gift that the Lord had given us this week.
Remember that the lord is aware of you all!
Me dashurin,
