Dear Everyone, 03/18/2013
Firstly I want to say happy birthday to my Dad! Woo hoo! I wore
a green tie for his birthday! Things have been going well here, I am getting
transferred to a new area. I won't find out where until Wednesday, so I'll let
you all know next week. This last week was a super good week. We have been
teaching a ton of lessons lately! We have really been searching for new people
to teach! We will teach a quick lesson to someone and find out that they aren't
elect yet and we'll bear testimony to them and then leave them with a prayer.
Just planting little seeds here and there. I have been really focusing on my
studies and how well they are going. I notice that it's so easy to get
comfortable, I've been changing around the furniture each week to make sure I
don't get too comfortable with my studies. And I've really been working on
mastering Preach My Gospel. My studies are so much more efficient when I do
that.
We went and saw Carlos and his family again this last week and
they are loving the gospel! They said this time when we went over there that
they understood the importance of praying to God and not to saints (they were
extremely Catholic). We invited them twice to be baptized during the lesson and
they wouldn't accept a date. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out
what it is they feel that they need to know before being baptized. We talked
about the authority with them and they acknowledged that they need to be
baptized by the authority of the priesthood, but I don't know that they
understand it! I know that the Lord is answering their prayers though. They have
come a very long way!
Also I did a ton of self evaluation and goal setting this
week, to make sure I'm doing what I need to do and to be sure I'm going to the
direction the Lord wants me to go. Everyone quick! Grab your Preach My Gospels
and set goals based on the inspired guidelines found in there! And I promise
that so long as you set goals and hold yourself accountable for those goals you
are going to find an increase of the spirit in your life. I have a testimony
that goal setting is inspired, as well as planning things out. Our Heavenly
Father, I guarantee has set goals, and has prepared a way (sound
familiar) for those goals to be met.Well, I have a lot of packing to do, Love
you.
