This week was a good one. We had a interesting week because we had a tradeoff, zone conference, and stake conference. So our week was packed before we made any plans. We had a lesson with Anthony, Dwayne, and Leishia. Leishia and Anthony are both new super awesome investigators. We also were able to get in contact with a good amount of investigators we haven't met yet.
On Wednesday, we had our zone conference. It was a long meeting but the spirit was there. The topic of this meeting was the power of the spirit. The Spirit is so awesome and essential to every aspect of our lives. Something I really liked was the spirit is something we need all the time. It isn't like an old sweater that we pull out of the closet before we go out of the door. It is something we need to constantly have with us. As we constantly have the spirit, we will be able to withstand the temptations of the adversary and receive revelation. Receiving personal revelation is so important to each of our lives. It is needed to further the work of the Lord as well as help us to be tools in the hands of God.
We had some good lessons this week. Anthony is a less active members husband. He is in the military and was open to letting us teach him. We talked about desire in our lesson and how if this is something he wants he will need to put in the work to receive his answer. We talked about the power of prayer and how important that is in conversion and gaining a personal testimony. Super awesome lesson! Next was Dwayne. Dwayne plays the piano at another church and has for some time. We shared the restoration with him last lesson and so this lesson we followed up with him on the importance of reading and praying. We talked about how to strengthen the testimony he has with the Book of Mormon. Last of all was Leishia. Leishia was a potential for some time and on Sunday we decided to stop by. She had just gotten back from her vacation and we were able to share a brief message with her. We talked about how God loves each of us and how trials can strengthen us if we have the right attitude. She lost her mother when she was young and so she said she has been trying to strengthen her relationship with Christ and its been hard. She is super excited about learning more and is an awesome investigator.
In Stake Conference, the main focus was Ministering. There was a lot of good talks that really helped me see the power in ministering. Just like in zone conference, I think one of the most important things we can do with ministering is seek the spirit and receive personal revelation. As we do this we can be guided in all we do and be the most effective instruments in the hands of our Heavenly Father. Each day I have strived and done my best to always have the spirit with me. It has been such a blessing in my life. I challenge you all to seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost each day in your life. Always have the words "What would Jesus Do" on your mind as you go about your day and go out of your way to serve as Christ would do. There is so much power in Service.
Last of all, I want to thank my Dad, Grandpa, Uncles, Cousins, Neighbors, Priesthood Leaders, and any other fathers out there that have played a part in my life. I am Eternally grateful for your examples and guidance you have given me in my life. Your are doing an awesome job and what you do! I love you all and hope you had an amazing Fathers Day. Fathers have a sacred call to exercise righteous dominion with their priesthood and to be the vessels to bless Gods children on earth. I am grateful for each one of you and all you do for me! I love you all and hope your weeks are full of tender mercies. Seek the positive and remember attitude is everything.
