Hello all,
Well, this was actually quite a good week! They say that the "Highlands are hot," and I feel that they are beginning to become so. I feel good about this transfer. Hopefully it is the will of the Lord to allow us to teach someone that will actually progress towards baptism!
This week we got back in contact with a former/eternal investigator. Derrick and Carly Meehan have investigated since about 2009. RIght now Derrick is ready for baptism, but Carly is not. So we talked about how to recieve personal revalation. We read many scriptures, such as D&C 6:14-15 and D&C 8:2-3. They feel that they may already have recieved an answer on weather the Church is true, but they may not have realized it. So we'll check back on them soon and let them think about what we left them.
The Highlight of the week was Elder Dallin H. Oaks. He came to speak to priesthood leaders here, but also spoke to the Missionaries. He talked about always having the spirit with us. When we are able to teach by the spirit, we are able to teach anyone. He also reminded us that selfishness takes the spirit away. We have to let go of our selfish desires and have charity for those around us. It was amazing to be in the presence and shake the hand of an Apostle of the Lord. An opporotunity that we don't get too often. Elder Oaks' "Junior Companion" was Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Presidency of the Seventy. He spoke about how those who are "prepared by the Lord" hear the Lord's voice and have an open heart. Hearing them both speak gave me the extra power I need to get through the next couple of weeks!
Thanksgiving is this week! We have a few invites, but we are still trying to figure out what we are going to do. I think that it is gonna be a good week! The Church is true and the Book is blue!
