Well this week has been super fun. We started out on Tuesday with District Meeting and then we came back and there was an appointment we had with this really cool family we thought would be there for a return appointment! But they weren't there so it was a little bit of a rough day. But then we stopped by on Thursday night to try and recontact them and they were home. The reason they had missed the appointment on Tuesday was because they had an unexpected funeral that they went to. Patty had just lost her brother. She is the mom of the family. But we were able to teach them the Plan of Salvation right after they had lost a loved one. It was a really cool lesson, and the spirit was super strong! So I am excited for this family! Then we also had a couple other miracles this week. One of our investigators has been in the hospital for the last 5 weeks and on Thursday we both felt that we should just go show up at his house because he wasn't replying to our texts. So we did that and he was there! It was his first day back from the hospital!! So we were for sure prompted to go there and get back in contact with him. We were able to teach him on Saturday. It was super cool. The rest of this week was pretty much a normal week, but it was good!
So here is a bit of a spiritual thought for you:
In 1 Nephi 15:24 we are told that if we are holding fast to the scriptures and studying them we will not perish and the temptations of the adversary will not be able to over power us. I know that through the study of the scriptures we can come to know how Satan will attack us and avoid the temptation. We have to realize that there is a lot of power the devil has. He can tempt us, we have to be able to resist that. The best thing for us to do is study the scriptures. I know that as we do that, and rely on Jesus Christ for help we will be able to withstand the temptations and nothing can stop us from continually growing closer to Christ!
Thanks for all your prayers and support!
