This week was crazy!!! Probably one of the greatest weeks in my mission!!! We found a total of 13 new people, we put 1 person on date to be baptized, we had a couple lessons with members present and had one of our friends show up randomly to church!!
So to get into the details of everything, as I said before we found 13 people which was consistent of lots of street contacting. And it was something super cool cause in zone conference, our zone leader promised us one of the strongest blessings that we will see success if we apply the invites and use the finding flow and we did! It was incredible!!
Zone conference was actually pretty sick! One thing that sucked though was all the sisters who came out with me gave their departing testimonies because they are going home soon, which says a lot because I've been out for literally that long! But it's whatever, our president gave a great talk about mission culture and being obedient! He is very adamant about us being laser focused because one it will make everything easier and we will see so much success!
A crazy thing that happened after zone conference is we were invited to a Bible study at another church so of course, we went! It was so sick, and crazy!! They don't even realize how close they are to the truth!! They were teaching about baptism and how it is essential to the salvation of souls and the remission of sins, then they taught that afterwards you get a gift which is the Holy ghost and you have tk have it given by the laying on of hands! They were literally missing the power and authority! Me and Elder Weaver were both just itching to shout out, why did Jesus have to be baptized by John! Why did Peter have the authority to give the gift of the holy ghost while Simon didn't!! It was crazy! And then we got our friends who invited us to set up an appointment with us, so it was a successful night!
Friday we had an awesome time at Walmart, we found 3 people in total that night and each were solid solid contacts! And while I was teaching someone else, my comp met a lady who literally was praying before coming to Walmart for God to help her and then we showed up at Walmart at the perfect time! She even said she never goes to that Walmart but some reason she did.
Saturday we had an awesome lesson with this guy who we were so close to dropping. I was honestly tired of calling him but finally he answered a few days before and we set up this lesson. Then when we had this lesson he was asking about his purpose in life and felt a war for his soul. We just taught him about his divinity and God's plan for him and then we started talking about baptism. So the spirit was so strong and I felt like putting him on date. So I put him on date for the 24th of February which afterwards he said that is a day before his birthday!! It was so cool!!!! He also said before we called a couple days ago he was praying to God as well to help him and give him a sign of guidance and then we called! It was so cool! So he's on date for baptism.
Then time finish up the week we had an awesome lesson with the lady my comp found at Walmart and we taught her about the Book Of Mormon and we were able to clear up so much of her concerns with Joseph Smith and she was so happy she came because she felt like not coming but she still did. We also read the account of Jesus Christ in America and we asked how she felt and she said she felt the spirit so strong! It was awesome!
So that was our week, this next week is gonna be one of the busiest weeks I've ever had because of all the success we had. So be ready for my next email, it may be another long one!! Aight stay sweet! Keep it real! Don't forget that Jesus is leading us every single day whether we see it or not!!!
