This week was good, i need to get better at taking pictures but hey we all have areas for improvement.... anyways heres some stuff from the week
Lesson with mary
We are still working on Marry, but she struggles with a common problem i think runs like a plague throughout the church, here's a Question to summarize it, am I bad if i am doing good? I.e. she takes care of kids she takes care of neighbors and brings about good around her but yet life seems to fall to pieces. What were trying to help her understand, seems to be the block for most with the gospel, wither missionary or member, you have to build yourself upon a foundation (helaman 5 12) its upon a foundation of Christ and his Gospel(going to church, praying, studying the scriptures(in past and being written)) that if ye build you can not fall. This is what i have gained a better understanding of this week.let me say it again Ye Can not fall. It's in those action you prepare yourself to receive guidance from God and its from God that everything its added unto you, the windows of heaven are opened. It's astounding what is so closely in reach but we just don't seem to even open our hand so that God can give it to us. He wants to bless us but we just don't allow him.
Hopefully that tangent had relevance to someone. Or maybe it was just for me.
Watching Sonya drive away.
It is as simple as the tittle we got supper excited we received a referral she has been to church a few times when she dated a member and now she is trying to get into religion... We show up for the appointment and we are excited to teach her, but are member who is going to join us is a little late so we wait and then we watch as she gets in her car and drives away....
Alan with brother Roylance
On the bright side we had a lesson with Alan a guy who lives on the street of the church! He has two grandkids he takes care of as a lone parent and has noticed that his kids do not know God and we knocked on his door just in time to help out.
We talk him all about come follow me and he is excited to come to church this Sunday!
Rebuked by the spirit.
This week I was reading in alma chapter 42 and 43 when i was rebuked time and time again. That as war is coming as satan is attacking what do the nephites do is prayed to God for strength even when the war seemed to be in their favor they still prayed and gave gratitude. It`s in this that i was rebuked, with all the changes going on church members get busy trying to figure it all out and missionarie work seems to be the first thing to drop off of their mind. In that struggle my prayers turned to pleading for help from the lord to bless us again with sucess in the work. But what i learned from moroni and the spirit is despite the challenges around wether we seem to be winning or loosing give gratitude to the lord. That is what i forgot to do this last week but as i did there has be and humungous difference in my happiness and love for my day to day. I just thought I would share some of that with you.
