Hello everyone!
This week had some intense blessings from heaven!
We have had this investigator that was atheist and started dating a girl in the ward. He has been coming to church for 6 months now and seminary also. But he just hasn't been seeing his answers. Well recently I have been really trying to change my focus as a missionary and focus on what the prophets of old told their priests and teachers.
To teach nothing save it be repentance and faith on the name of Christ. So we first had a lesson with this mindset with an investigator we just recently got. She has been doing great but conflicted because she sees blessings coming from meeting with us but her family is attributing it to the devil and is telling her we are evil people, her aunt who is a missionary in Germany came in to try and help her stop meeting with us even. So she's very conflicted and just wants to know and be sure of it all. Well instead of teaching the
next lesson in the set, my companion and I threw out the order and went to figure out her needs, her desires in meeting with us, where she is at, and how we can help her see repentance and recognize her answers. Essentially, to love her and preach repentance and remission of sins as Alma and so many others had. Well the lesson went absolutely incredible. We discussed her worries and how as she's repented she's felt good but isn't sure where it comes from or how she can know she's really doing what God wants her too. She always would say how she feels the blessings but we realized she doesn't know what answer to look for. So we read Galatians 5 :22-23 and talked about it. She began to cry and we just sat, and she looked at us and we said, "have you ever felt those before?" She couldn't respond but just nodded and finally got out, "that's what I've been feeling, this is what my life has been like since I have been learning and living it." She got an answer right there....she wants to be baptized this next Saturday and it was so joyful!
The next day we then had a long time investigator we haven't talked to in a while text us, "so....can we meet today?" And we said of course and he said, "also...do I talk to you or the bishop to be baptized?" We like FAINTED. We went and talked with him and had a similar lesson as the girl, and he also received an answer right in front of us and recognized when the spirit speaks to him.
It was such a fantastic week and I really have never felt the spirit so strongly. Repenting is where true joy comes from and where power is found. I pray y'all know that joy. It's positively liberating.

We got challenged by the girls aunt to basically bash. She wanted to "show her what we truly believed" So she had our investigator present for it. It was just like the lawyers with Alma and Amulek. My DL and his trainee and me and my comp withstood her jabs, she kept trying to catch us in our words but by the end we finally were like, "what is
your goal here?" And after that it was fine and dandy and we ate delicious food. So it was good 👌🏼👌🏼
Hope all is well! Love yall!
