Week #42 - Winter Quarters YSA Ward

Hey everyone! I will be honest, this week is possibly the hardest week of my entire mission to keep myself busy and as a result has been really stressful. We haven't had anyone to teach and have spent most of or time looking for people to share the gospel with and setting up appointments with members of the ward. It is looking like next week will be a lot better and we are going through old lists of investigators in search of someone who wasn't progressing then but is ready now. We had zone conference this week and it was really amazing! We focused on being better vessels that the spirit can use to make changes in the hearts of our investigators and also on finding people to teach. We talked about how to find investigators by asking people who they know that would be receptive to our message or who is curious about the gospel. We have been applying what we learned in our lessons and at dinner appointments and we have seen a lot of improvement in the presence of the spirit of our lessons and in the people we have noticed and went out of our way to talk to! We were told by a bishop to see a less active member that had moved out of his ward and into ours a couple weeks ago and we gave him a call. It turned out that he had been praying for someone to talk to right before we called and we had been an answer to his prayers! He is turning his life around and will be going to a rehabilitation center soon so we won't be seeing him much, but it was awesome to see how the lord answers out prayers! I hope you guys have a fantastic week and that things are going well back home! Have a good day!

With firm conviction.
