So the nerdy side of me has been thinking of the day March 14, 2015. ( 3.1415) Just a funny thought in the back of my mind. Pi day!!
This Week Has been really fun! We had a lot of funny contacts. Some times when you go up to people they are really nice and then in the most creative ways they say im not interested. I have to give them a lot of credit because it always makes me laugh :)
Our work this week went really well. We had 2 awesome Spiritual Experiences! 2 of them happened in the same night. We had gotten to dinner late and didn't have a member able to come out with us that night. Since we do not have a car we would have had to bike the entire area to get to our set appointments that night. We didn't really want to have to do this because of the distance between each. Even though we go to dinner late we were able to leave early and be on time...or so we thought. As we biked Elder Ellin and I ran into one of the people we were teaching, Betsy Van Pelt. Which we had planned to teach her that night. Had we not biked we would have missed her because she was not at her house.
The next set was on the opposite side of our area, With Mike lin . We called and he said we could meet him at the church.
During the lesson Elder Ellin had a thought of one more person he could call. We called him after and said I'm not in my suit but I can meet you at the church! The lesson went so well. We planned to teach him about the Restoration of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. At the end we had him Pray to know it was true. We knelt and told him we would wait and let him listen to what Heavenly father told him , through the Holy Ghost, after he finished. We usually Kneel during this time as a form of respect to Heavenly father. As we knelt there He said a prayer asking to know those things that he believed to be true. The spirit Was so strong almost tangible. He told us that he knew it was true that he could be cleansed through the Atonement and see the light!
I know that as we exercise faith, which means to act or show what we believe, that Heavenly Father will answer ours prayers. Just as Mike did, you can do the same! It has taken me a while to understand what faith really was but I KNOW that when we ask in faith truly SEEKING the answer, we will find it!
Love you all!!! Happy Pi Day!
