Hello family and friends.
Sorry I didn't write last week, it was a a busy p-day. These last 2 weeks went pretty well. really interesting. First of all, we had zone conference, it was really good! So inspiring, I got a lot of good information and answers to my questions. The main topics were working with members and the church media, and PRIDE...Pride has been a big issue with me and many others...It's so from the devil...I hate pride. I have a lot of it. So it was focused on and I took loads of notes to help me avoid being so prideful.
This week was another good week. Zone conference really boosted me and made me want to put all the things that I learned into action! It was so inspiring to hear all the talks and lessons that were prepared, it was what I really needed to hear, and make changes in my life. Thank you for your preparation, the spirit really touched my heart.
In minehead, we are doing really well, we have Michael as our baptismal date for the 16th still, he is doing great, he is still committed and has such a honest desire to know more about Gods plan and Jesus Christ. It is so wonderful to teach him, I love all the people we are working with, they really need and deserve the Gospel in there lives.
We are also working with Maria who is a former baptismal date, a few weeks ago, we are teaching her again, and she wants to change! Which is good! We taught her about the Atonement and prayer, it went really well, but a few days later, she left with her ex boyfriend, and we haven't heard from her in the last couple of days...which is really sad. We are really praying hard that she will come back and remember the spirit she felt as we taught her. Satan is so real...I cant believe how many times I've seen people start making commitments and actually have a Strong desire to know God, and opposition/Satan comes right in the way...It's so sad, and annoying. But I know that God knows best, its a test for them to see if they are really that Committed and sincere to follow the Savior. I'm confident that Maria will come back soon.
We are working with a lot of potential and new investigators, they are wonderful, we have had many miracles and powerful moments. Sister Danielle came on a teach with us 5 days ago to see a young couple we found knocking, (James and Gaina). They invited us in their home and we got talking and teaching. While teaching they didn't look a whole lot interested, we watched the Book of Mormon DVD with them, and nothing really hit them...we said a closing prayer, and we got chatting again about different things, and Danielle and Gaina drifted a little way from us, and they were in a deep conversation. A little bit later Gaina started crying as well as Danielle
, we found out that Gaina is pregnant and depressed at the same time, she was taking some depression pills that the doctor said not to, but she did anyways...and Danielle had the exact same problem when she had her last baby last year, same medication as Gaina's. Danielle said she took the medication anyway, a little bit here and there, and it helped her tremendously, and the delivery of her baby boy was perfectly fine. So this little experience really touched Gaina, and now Danielle and Gaina are really good friends! Awesome!! They said that Danielle was really inspired to come with us. Danielle shared her testimony with them, now they are a lot more committed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. They said they feel like their faith has been restored or strengthened. It was a great experience.
Things are going well down here. Lots of things are happening. The Lord is in it!
I love you all!
Sorry something went wrong with my email so I sent my president's letter to you...Sorry about that.
Love you all!!!
