This past week has been a blast! We have been a whole lot busier teaching less-active members and non members and some active members in the mix. Teaching is my all time favorite part of missionary work. When we teach an individual and they come prepared (hopefully), having read and prayed and contemplated what we had left them last time, we then follow up with them ask them about their experience, if it inspired any question and what they personally got from it. Then we get into the goods, an inspiring stream of thought with doctrine, soul searching questions, scriptures and personal testimony paired with experiences. The room fills with light and our minds and buzzing with excitement. Then you see the light in their eyes. They get it. They understand.... then we help them apply their new found knowledge and light with assignments to read ponder and pray about. Then we leave having had an amazing spiritual experience.
That is what it is like when missionaries teach.
I love the wards I am serving in. I love the people and everything they stand for.
Salutations!
