Hey family,
Well this week was pretty average actually... :(
unfortunately in our sector right now we aren't finding a lot of new people,
well that's not completely true... we are finding people but for the most part
they have been a lot of people that have some big problems holding them back
from progressing. Which has made me see just how important it is to have the
Spirit while youre teaching, and listening. Missionaries have to be able to see the
people that really can change and have the desire to change and those who don't.
For example, we found a nice couple who are just starting out together. They
both are about 26 years old and have a ton of questions about the gospel,
however they are not legally married. They have a strong belief in God and have
a decent understanding of the Bible. It was super interesting to be able to
teach them and see their small doubts and worries about the church get resolved.
We explained about repentance and the steps that someone needs to fulfil to
trully repent and it was great because the husband explained to us one of his
prior sins and how he had never felt completely forgiven for it and understood
then that he had not passed through all the steps of repentance. He then
promised us that he would do his best to repent. :) He came to church this
Sunday and liked it a lot! Hopefully we can continue working with them and get
them married! All of your prayers are welcome.
Other than that, we've just been super busy. I had to give an
hour lesson to the zone on Saturday about faith, and I felt like it went really
well:) I talked about Alma 33:28-31 and Mosiah 24:16-20... I think those are
the verses.... but that was cool.
Oh and mom can you please send me a recipe to do organge
chicken or barbeque chicken please! We want to make some for some of our investigators to show them what food in America tastes like.
Love you all,
Elder Lignell
