this week‏

Hey
This week was a pretty good week it started out really slow with a lot of canceled appointments and a lot of tracting but we pushed forward and work hard putting forth our faith. On Thursday we did a very good weekly planning tried so hard to figure out what our investigators needed and how we could help them progress, and i got to say the closing prayer and in my prayer i was so sincere in telling the lord we are doing the best we can and we need some help. And Behold ask and ye shall receive, That very night we were on an exchange and most of the people didn't want to talk with us right then, so it was around 830 and it would take atleast twenty minutes to get home but i was like hey lets stop by this last potential, her name was Meredith. So we stopped in and our exchange really didn't want to stop because it was dark and they had kids, but we did and when we knocked a guy came out and told us that she was just the babysitter. So i felt to ask if he would like to learn more and he said ya so we sat down and taught him a little and left a Book of Mormon, right before we left he says "It is interesting that you stopped by because my wife has been getting on me to find a church and get back into going." it was amazing!
Then the very next night all we had is tracting and right before we left i was thinking hey there are some really nice less actives around the corner that we could go visit instead of tracting lets do that, but then the thought came to my mind that i was hindering the work if i did that because that is not where we need to go so we went knocking doors, and the last house they let us in and wanted to know more about the Book of Mormon and wanted to read it and find out if it was true. It really helped me to see when you are prompted to knock doors even if you think it isn't the most productive you need to do it because we are lead to those few that are open and prepared.
Those were not all the success we saw this week, we ended the week on a high note. We went over to an investigators home for a lesson and she had a list of questions so we answered them and i asked if i could ask a question. I asked have you received and answer to your prayers and she said yes. So do you know it is true? She said yes, so i invited here to be baptized and she accepted! it was so exciting. Then we asked her son if he received and answer and he said no not yet but i will support my mom and go with her to church and take the lessons, i couldn't help but feel that he will be baptized very soon as well.
That was our wonderful week, it truly is amazing to see the spirit work inside people to change there lives and come unto Christ. I love it, and i love you all,
Love
