This week was so great. I think I say that every week, but
it seriously was so good.
We taught family night on Monday to a part member,
less active family and I was shocked at how much the kids knew and understood
about the gospel. It was incredible. And we were invited over to teach again
tonight and I'm really hoping we can help them out.
Tuesday was pretty neat. We taught our PMG class and we
talked about Praying with Faith. Because we prepared our lesson well, the
spirit was there so strong. I think it actually taught me more than what I was
able to teach the few people that were there.
Wednesday, we had planned to see J again, but her
husband is at work in the day so we have to have our lessons outside, unless we
bring someone else with us. It was raining. Hard. At lunch, I knelt and prayed
that the rain would stop so we could go to see her and help her out. The rain
didn't stop, but my companion told me that one of our members was
gonna come with us! He told us that the spirit had told him earlier that he
needed to make time for us. It was amazing to see how a prayer was so clearly
answered, just in a way I didn't expect.
Thursday, the zone leaders had been teaching a family and
the mom needed a baptismal interview. My companion is the district leader so
he had to give her baptismal interview. Turns out, the family owns a place
called Weston Sports and that's where we had the interview! They gave us a feed
and then, during and after the interview, we played indoor cricket and touch
rugby on their field. Turns out, cricket is actually fun. Weird right?
Friday was zone conference and it was so great. It actually
started off pretty bad. I was asked to play the piano and it was bad news. I
practiced as much as I could, but I was nervous and not prepared enough and so
I did pretty bad as I was playing. It really started off as a bad day for me
because of that. I found that I didn't have the spirit at all and I wasn't
learning anything as president was teaching about Joseph Smith. So I thought,
this is stupid. Pray and ask Heavenly Father for help. So, even though I did
not want to pray, I did. And. It worked. As I tried to let go and be happy,
Heavenly Father helped me so much. He gave me the spirit again and the sister
that I was sitting next to made me laugh and helped me as well. It was so
great. Also, I learned a lot about finding and being a missionary and stuff
because zone conference, but one of my favorite things was that I got to talk
to President and Sister Hudson for a few minutes and they gave me very personal
advice. I can't say how much I love having leaders, busy as they are, that take
the time to help me out. It's the best thing in the world.
Saturday and Sunday was basically a lot of people cancelling
and not being home. LAME. But I can't help but feel that this is just an
opportunity for me to show my diligence and dedication to the work.
I love you all! Thank you so much for the prayers and
letters. (I'm assuming the letters are coming. I've only got one or two in the
mail so far. So step up people.:))
Love,
Elder Benjamin
