Me and my companion have been working hard. We invited the C family to be baptized in July. We still have a lot of work for them to be truly converted but I know that a miracle will happen in their life. We have a baptism coming up of Sister A on the 16th of June. I am soo excited. Of course, Sister M could be baptized in August but she is a special case so it might not happen then. She has been changing her life, its cool to see. She is bed ridden and can't give up. I asked it she wanted a blessing and I was able to give her one. So hopefully she will get out of bed and be able to walk for the first time in 3 months. She hadn't accepted a blessing for 2 months.
It's really cool when we are just walking and me and my companion feel like we need to pray to find out who to talk to, when we go around the next corner or around the next street there are always people waiting for us. This has happened multiple, multiple times and it just shows how powerful prayer is. We are doing a lot of work with Less Actives and Recent Converts and a few of them are starting to come back to Church and prepare for the temple.
So on Friday, we had splits and I went with an elder who has only been here for 2 months. I have only been here for 2 or 3 weeks. I have lost count. It's going by soooo fast. I didnt know how we were going to teach. The lord put words in my mouth during lessons that I had forgotten I knew. I was leading the lesson and gave a great lesson about faith. Through the lord I can do all things. It was amazing to see what me and this other new elder could do.
But on Saturday, I figured out how close I was to the spirit and when I am not. We started talking about scary stories...( wrong thing to do). It drove away the spirit and we kept feeling like something was missing. All I wanted was the spirit back, I yearned for it. I would have done anything to get it back. I felt lost. We went back to our apartment and gave each other a blessing that we would get the spirit back. Such a cool experience it was like night and day. It felt good to be back. I will never do that again. But I felt like how it was to be an investigator and how if they feel the spirit what they wouldn't do to have that spirit always. I had not realized how close I was to the spirit before that.
