I know y'all hate it when I do this, but here's the letter I sent to my mission president this week. Sometimes you just have a lot to do on the computer, and an hour and a half doesn't quite cut it. Love you all! Thank you for your continued love and support!
What an incredible week! I can't believe the things we're able to accomplish through hard work, diligence, and sincere and faith-filled prayer.
We had our zone training meeting this week. I love that our mission tries to avoid calling them "meetings," and instead refers to them as "revelatory experiences." It really is for good reason! It was such an inspired training about the importance of faith-filled prayers to bring the Spirit and teaching doctrine in our lessons and tracting to bring the Spirit. Truly the only way to bring the truth of our message is to help others to feel the Spirit. The Spirit is the only one who knows our hearts intimately, and certain things will only resonate through the Spirit. We were trained on how to avoid "the fluff" in our interactions in tracting, and in our role-plays, the Spirit was so strong as we were able to bear pure and simple testimony about the doctrine that people needed to hear.
It's been something we've seen really bless our efforts as a companionship. Yesterday, in fact, we had a street contact lesson with a young man named Jose who seemed a bit standoffish at first, but it was amazing and humbling to see him soften and become more receptive as we taught the doctrine of the Restoration and the First Vision. It was so amazing to see the things we were trained on help see success. (Though we will refer him to the YSA elders, it's amazing all the same!)
Truly some of us are sewers and others reapers. It really doesn't matter where you see the success; we really don't waste our time out here! As long as we're diligently seeking for people to teach, we will find! I can't wait to write more about the success we've seen next week! I ran out of time! Ahhh!
