WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN THIS WEEK! the last 3 days have been rainy and really humid! . The weirdest part about California weather is instead of getting cooler when it rains it just get really humid/muggy the more it rains and stays the same temperature.
This week we received training on how to exercise faith. It is not the fact that we have a perfect knowledge or understanding on how to find success, but that we put effort forward and try our best. When we make a decision we ask Heavenly Father for help to accomplish this plan and go forward and do it. If we listen as we go, we may receive understanding or recognize that we may need to change a few things, but heavenly father will share with you in a way you will understand. Sometimes we may not even see the help until it is done. When I look back throughout the week, I see He helped us find those who were really looking for Heavenly father and truly feel the desire to do more.
One person we found this week is Allan. We contacted him a few months ago, but this past week we met him again. The last 2 months he has been waiting to see if his wife would be willing to come with him to church on Sunday with us, but she hasn't felt a desire to yet. When we talked to him last week He said," I really want to come and maybe if I start I can be an example for her and she will recognize the difference it is going to make in my life." We have a return appointment with him this Thursday to meet at the church :)!
I know that he has felt the power of the Holy Ghost; a desire to find truth. As he expressed to us, a deep desire or feeling within him calling for him to do more/be more.
Angie and Donovan are a young unmarried couple who have made the decision to meet with us more often seeing the desire to do more and take the next step. Angie struggles to know what is the right answer and path for her in life. This week she found that answer. By praying and listening to what God wants for her she can know the truth.
We found another Family, Elsa and Raphael, as well who are a young couple who want to learn more. They have 2 girls. Emily is 4 and their other daughter is 3 months.
I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and that by praying for help we can find the desire to do more. Not only a desire, but motivation to prove ourselves against any trial or challenge we go through and learn amazing things through them.
Love you All!
