Could life get any better?
Hi Family!
This past week was such a great week, I love being able to share and teach the gospel. We had allot of opportunities to teach this week and to find new investigators which I love. We went and saw a girl named Stephanie on Monday night who has some very hard views in regard to Christ and the bible. It is interesting as she says she will not conform to any religion but she does love learning about them. She has visited with allot of missionary's in the past and enjoys talking to them about the LDS religion. As we taught her the first lesson, it became more and more evident that she did not have a knowledge or I should say belief of who Jesus Christ was. She views him as someone just like us and does not think of his life as anything significant. As the lesson went on I was wrestling to know whether or not we should spend more time with Stephanie or if her heart was just to hard. As I was praying during the lesson I felt strongly about giving her a writing project to write down her relationship with her god and savior as she understood it. She agreed to do this and and I pray that next time we meet with Stephanie her heart will be softened.
We met with Kristina again and she is doing wonderful, she asked if she could come to church during the lesson before we could even spit it out. You have to love when someone is so eager and willing to learn that they are asking you to do things. She came to church on Sunday and was even willing to be taught right after the meetings, I just thought wow she sacrificed 4 hours of her day for the gospel. Her spirit is so strong, she says the most amazing prayers and you can feel the power the the holy ghost as she shares experiences she has had with drawing closer to her savior.
We had the Lopez's come and teach Mark Weaver with us which worked out wonderful. Mark has had such a journey with his life and is just yearning for the gospel. He tells us that we are giving him a different view to look at things and helping him grow. I love that he questions everything and we are able to expound it is also helping me learn right along with him. He leaves to Hawaii soon so I hope we can teach him as much as possible before he goes.
We spend allot of time with the Prues family each week. Joe is not a member so we teach him and also do a family home evening which is allot of fun. Joe is also one that questions everything and keeps me on my toes. His biggest challenge is to kneel down and pray and to know his heavenly father. I hope he can overcome the things he is struggling with and really dive into the gospel as he needs it so much in his life.
Of course I have to tell of an awesome tracting experience where we met Patty. She invited us in as soon as she saw us, she works at the hospital where we volunteer and play bingo 2 days a week. She told us she wants to learn more and is very eager to do so, she grabbed a pamphlet right out of sister Davis's hand it was pretty funny. I have never had anyone so eager to know more open the door before, I am really excited to go back and visit with Patty.
Well I hope all is going will for all of you and know that I love you!
Love,
Sister Booth
