We have been making a lot of changes in the mission here! Trying to really focus on teaching people helping them Act on faith. We had some great moments teaching people! As we taught A member in our ward this week her roommate,Mary came out, We have been able to help Tamara, the member we were teaching, become more active and involved lately and pray on her own. As Tamara has applied the Gospel in her Life by praying more she has become happier and more focused. Mary has really seen this and wanted to know more of what we teach. It started 18 month ago when her son passed away. This last week we were able to meet with her twice! She is so committed she watched General Conference on her own, read 2 chapters we left her and took notes on them. She has a learning disability and has to re-read to comprehend what she reads, but with this she gets so much out of it. She said that she wants to continue to learn and loves it because she is able to open up about what happened with her son and feelings she has about the situation.
Then we were able to talk with Ceci yesterday! She is preparing to be baptized on October 24th. As we started the lesson we needed to know what to talk about with her and not really sure on specifics. Ideas came to mind as we said the prayer in the beginning and it was exactly what she needed :)
We had a good week I went on Exchanges with another missionary in a ward for Single men and women over the age of 31. Just before we were about to go in we had a feeling to go somewhere that felt good and just as we got out of the car were able to talk to someone who wanted to learn more about god and really struggling!
As we take every opportunity to talk to people and serve them it makes such a difference. In Preach My gospel The manual we study as missionaries there is a section about Christlike attributes! That teaches about charity and virtue and diligence and knowledge. As I have studied these it has made such a difference to gain Knowledge it changes our desires and Hearts!
Love you All!
