Dear
Mom and you too,
I'm not even sure
where to start! This week wasn't quite as stellar as last week, but that's
okay. If things ran smoothly all the time we'd probably never learn anything.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before but you know what they say, if the
heart monitor isn't showing ups and downs and it's a smooth line, then that's a
really bad sign! In any case though, I still learned a lot this week, and there
were some good things that happened too.
Remember the guy who
approached us last week and asked if we had any pamphlets? Well, he came to
church on
Sunday! When I asked him how
he was feeling, he said it was like that feeling you get when you take a deep
breath and let it out slowly and you feel refreshed. I love that description.
The Gospel truly is a breath of fresh air, especially if all a person has been
breathing in for a while is the pollution that the world generates (literally
and metaphorically speaking).
We also had a neat
experience with a member who hasn't come to church in while. We began teaching
her English this week and she wants to work on her reading and pronunciation so
we downloaded the Gospel Library App for her because it has the option of
reading out loud to you as you follow along. So now she is listening to the
scriptures and General Conference talks, and she is allowing my companion to
share short, simple Gospel messages with her so she can practice her Spanish
because she is a new missionary. And then she came to church on Sunday! She also has a family member visiting who
came along to one of the English lessons and we downloaded the Gospel Library
App for him as well and told him he can use it to work on his English and
listening and pronunciation. So now he has the word of God on his phone and
access to materials of the Restored Gospel! Only Heavenly Father knows what
will happen with him, but God works in mysterious ways and anything could
happen. It's cool to see how technology plays a role in how the Lord is
hastening His work.
Well, that's a wrap
for now folks. Love you bunches! Until next week!
