Buenas tardes a todos!!!!
This week was relatively uneventful but it still was super great!!!
Wednesday we took a young women out with us who started the process for her mission papers and that was super fun! That ended up being one of those days where we tried to see probably 5-6 people within a 2ish hour time span and nobody ended up being able to have a lesson with us. But it was a good learning opportunity for the young women and also for us as well that helped remind us how we define success as a missionary! She's super adorable and she's going to be such an amazing missionary!!!
We had a great lesson with one of our investigators this week and it ended up being more of a conversation! She asked us to share the biggest thing that motivates us to do what we do. It was interesting to be asked an inspired question by our investigator but it really sparked a discussion that she really needed to hear. Hermana Carmack and I both shared things that allowed for the Spirit to touch her heart in the way that she needed in that moment! Then she came to institute on Friday and church yesterday!!! So that was awesome!!!
We're continuing to focus on commitments and lessons that will help our investigators progress more! I've discovered that by focusing on discerning the needs of the investigators I've been able to be more receptive to the Spirit in other aspects of my life as a missionary. I'm positive that the reason for that is because when we feel the desire to serve those around us and help them come closer to Christ and be more receptive to the Spirit, we get closer to Christ and are more receptive as well. I feel like helping others to come unto Christ and helping ourselves come closer to Christ are directly related and supportive of each other. So that's really helped me because sometimes I struggle to discern between my own thoughts and the whisperings of the Holy Ghost!
