Week 12

September 16, 2015
Today has been absolutely fantastic! We kicked off our day by visiting with Brian, an investigator of ours. He and his girlfriend were very busy for the first half of our meeting preparing for a baby shower they were going to through for their friend. Brian's portion was to do some graffiti art for the party. It looked super cool. we taught the Plan of Salvation and he took it really well. Next time I think we should focus more on the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is so crutial in conversion. If an investigator does not gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon no action they take towards the Gospel will have lasting affect. After Brian we tried seeing a few Potential investigators to no avail. When we were finished finding we went over to the Dickson's home for dinner. It was very delicious, but what was even more delicious was the lesson we had with Ella afterward. we read about five chapters from the Book of Mormon with her and taught the importance of daily personal prayer and scripture study. After Ella we met with Sister Turner, a wonderful little old lady. She made me smile. :) Brother Dickson sang her a song and really brought up her spirits. and that finished our day. IT WAS Amazing!

Today was a day of planning as most Thursdays are. We did manage to have two teaching appointments though. The first appointment was with Ray, an investigator who really genuinely wants to know what we believe. He had a few things that were kind of hard for him to swallow. But we reassured him that if he pondered and prayed upon the things which we taught then God would make known unto him the truth of them. After Ray we went to go and see Ani. We caught her in the middle of packing her things to moved out. She was quite busy but still managed to talk to us one way for about an hour and a half. Occasionally we would be able to get a word in and we would reassure her that Jesus Christ is with her and will help her through all of her trials. She really appreciated the visit. After Ani's w had Dinner at Bro. Johnston Jr.'s. He is a great guy and it was an excellent dinner. We then spent the majority of our time after that helping him move his desk to his new office and getting to know him better.

Today was awesome!Met with Beth and did a quick Plan of Salvation lesson and committed her to bring a Joe to her lesson monday. Great lesson. We taught Sanchez the The Gospel of Jesus Christ and passed her off to Spring Valley. She took it really well and is totally willing to go to the Spring Vally ward. She is so awesome! Dinner at Amezcua's was awesome!We met with Victor tonight. He is super cool. He said he remembered meeting with the missionaries almost daily and he really liked it. We asked him what he remembered and he said it was fuzzy but he was able to remember a few things about the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation. We committed him to read the first chapter of the BoM and pray to know if it was true and if the restored Gospel is true.

Today we kicked off our day with visiting a referral from our mission President's wife. Sonja was a very nice lady. She is going through a really rough time and needs comfort and reassurance and love from her fellow brothers and sisters. We shared the Plan of Salvation with her and she expressed her true desire to live with her family forever. She really is a wonderful woman. After Sonja we had dinner and then taught Emmanuel. We met with Emmanuel duo o mono and taught him the Plan of Salvation. He believes that the BoM is true and the Plan of Salvation is true will still pray about it to God. He is such a stud! he really is wonderful and has a true desire to follow the straight and narrow path. that was our day! I hope you liked it! :D

Today was great. There was a lot of pondering involved with today. All day I was pondering what needs to happen to get the drive for missionary work up and running. I came to a conclusion of what we as missionaries can do to do our part. We will enter into the homes of all active members' homes, starting with Returning Members and Recent Converts and reaffirm or establish testimony in and of the Book of Mormon and then use that testimony as the driving force behind missionary work.
I truly believe that if we do this and align our wills with the will of the Lord along the way missionary work with the members will progress. Yeah.... so that is basically what we were focused on all day. It was a truly AMAZING day.

Today was good. We saw Tom and Em! They are awesome! Tom and Em said they would come to church next Sunday! It was so exciting! We haven't been able to meet with Tom or Em for over a month and a half. It is surely by the grace of God that we were able to meet with them.We were also able to have FHE with the Churchills tonight. It was great. We taught on family scripture study and the importance of it. The scriptures truly are amazing. That was my day.
