I hope y'all had a good week. This past week went by so fast I don't even know what to tell you.
This week was lots of appointments falling through which gave us lots of contacting time. The hard part about our area is that it used to be in the ward boundaries of a different ward and the church building we go to is really far away. We had high hopes to finally get an investigator to come to church this week and even passed by one of their houses. No luck. But this week we are walking a family to church so hopefully we can break this bad streak.
There was a lot of office work this week. That helped the days go by quick. Two different days a missionary went home for different reasons. That meant President calling me and saying hey make sure everything is ready for this missionary to go home. The first day I got that call and had about two hours to get the transportation and migrations stuff figured out. The other call I had about a day so it was a lot calmer. Also a group of missionaries went to Lima to get their migrations renewed which meant more stress.
Prayer is so powerful. You may think prayer is some basic primary answer but it is one of the most powerful tools God has given us. That day when people were going to Lima and I had only a couple hours to get everything figured out for the missionary to leave the country, I felt overwhelmed. Not knowing anything else to do to help me calm and focus, I went to a private room and just got on my knees and prayed. It wasn't a formal boring prayer. I really just got on my knees and poured out all my feelings to my Heavenly Father. Immediately i felt his love and in so many ways I saw my prayer answered. GOD is REAL. If you want to know that and feel that get on your knees and pray. But really pray. Pour out the feelings of your heart so that there is room for God to pour out his love into your heart. I promise you will feel his love. Why? Because he really loves us. He cares for us. He didn't send us to this earth to feel lost and alone. He sent us here to learn to trust in Him. This week pray like Enos and not like you are blessing your Pop-Tart as you are late for school.
Anyway, have a good week Love you!
