Hermana Moreno and I really love our map. It's our best friend. I'm starting to get a sense of where things are. It's literally pure blessings that I'm learning the area so fast. Hermana Moreno and I found a lot of people last week, but all the people we had expected to show up to church, didn't show up. BUT a less active family that we visited came and brought all the boyfriends and girlfriends of their kids. Also another less active showed up with their kid that needs to get baptized. Then a recent convert brought her nephew, and he really liked church. So no one showed that we were expecting, but the members brought people. I really like being in this ward. The members are great; they really support and help us.
In sacrament meeting this sunday, there were a few amazing talks! One brother talked about how we need to teach and learn by the Spirit. He explained that it was something simple, but required that we left ourselves to be guided by the Spirit and not depend only on our abilities. He explained that the Holy Ghost can bring a testimony more profoundly than anything else, because the Holy Ghost is in charge of testifying of the truth. This talk gave me a goal not just try to teach by the Spirit, but also learn by the Spirit. I know that the Holy Ghost can teach us all things, but we need to be ready to learn. We need to open our hearts and our minds to the Spirit. If we do this, then we can have the truth unfolded before us.
I love y'all!
