Hello Family And Friends! This week has been a great week. On Wednesday, I got transfered to Orange Park with Elder Hansen. Elder Hansen is so awesome and we get along super well and work well together. We got white washed into the area and so we don't really know that much of whats going on but it has been all good. There are some super awesome investigators and we have been able to meet a few. The members of the Orange Park Ward are super involved in our missionary work and it has been such a blessing getting to know them and having them help in the work.
In my new area we have had some cool and weird experiences each day. On Thursday it was raining and we decited to go tracting in a area about 2 miles from our appartment. We decited to just walk to the area. While we were walking it started to rain a little. We knocked on a few doors as we were walking to the area. On the way, we met a lady who was walking in the rain. We decited to let her share our umbrella. We got talking and she was walking home from the gas station because her car broke down and her husband took it to the auto shop to get it fixed. We talked to her about having faith in Christ and she talked to us about how when we pray and ask for Gods help, he will send people and that we were an answer to her prayer.
On Friday, we werer walking again and there was a lady who was yelling off in the distance. We just ignored it and kept walking but after a good minute of hearing it, we turned behind us and looked. We saw a lady and went and talked to her. She was a member and her son was in Utah on his mission and was struggling. He was possibly coming home and he was going to call and talk to his mom and make a decision. She asked us for a blessing because she wanted to know what to say and how to best help her son. We were able to go over to the Church and give her a blessing and she said we were an answer to her prayer in the right place at the right time.
Last of all, on Saturday we decited to walk home from our dinner appointment instead of get a ride. It was only about 3 miles and we decited to go tracting while we walked home. We went and didn't really find any success and so we were heading home and it was raining so we were walking under a overhang over a bunch of buisnesses. A guy called us out and ran up to us and said he was in a bad posstion in his life right now and that he needed us to say a prayer for him. We were able to pray for him and invite him to church. Another opertunity to be an answer to someones needs and prayer.
On Sunday, President Nelson addressed the youth and the challenge he gave was really awesome. He wanted all the youth to join Christ's Battalion and stand out and make a difference in the world. He wants all of us as members of the Church to learn how to rely on the spirit and how to use it to better ourselves and grow. If you didn't get a chance to watch it you should watch it even if your not a youth! It is so good and inspired by God.
This week was awesome and I think the main focus or what stood out to me was the power of prayer. Prayer is so essential and as we pray and then act, we will be able to better be an istrament in the Lords hands. I challenge all of you to pray for something and act on it. Miracles will come because God does hear and answer our prayers! Have a great week! Love all of you!
