WHELP~ Yellow from the Golden Coast!
Actually I am not on the golden coast part of the Golden
Coast but California still sends you it's greetings. We were baking this week
before the sky decided to dump on us. Basically, the sky is raining buckets and
I think that rain will never cease to feel like a miracle. BRING ON THE COLD
WEATHER. I am so ready to make more use out of my rain boots.
Okay so specific prayers are something we learned about in
the MTC. Basically they are prayers with specific details that you have faith
that the Lord will carry out.. IF it is His will. While I have tried
saying prayers in the past, I had yet to have one that is in line with The
Lord's will. But now I can say that I have!!
So Sunday night we had some members come out with
us and we went by to visit a super promising potential family named Norberto
that we had but they weren't home. We ended up going and having a different
lesson with a basher who was convinced we didnt know the name of our own
prophet, John Smith. "Excuse me senor, I have no idea what I am talking
about.." So after that terribly exausting lesson, we let the members go
and we went back out on our own.
After spitting off, we were still a little unsure about our plans
and how to use our last hour of the evening effectively. Hermana Jensen
suggested that we pray for direction and guidance. So we did! While I was
saying the prayer, the name of the promising potential we had tried earlier
popped into my mind. After closing the prayer I was unsure of whether that was
just my brain being silly or if it was a spiritual prompting. I shared these
concerns with Hermana Jensen and from there we decided to say a confirming
specific prayer to help us know what to do. As Hermana Jensen said the prayer I
felt a warmth and peace come upon me and I felt very certain that we should go
by and see Norberto (the potential). So we went! Turns out that they had barely
come back from the store when we stopped by again and they quickly stopped
everything they were doing to gather the family and listen to us. We picked up
both the parents and two of their sons as investigators and taught a tiny bit
of the Restoration due to shortness of time. I was SO PLEASED. I have never had
such a specific prayer answered like this and my testimony was solidified in
knowing that the Spirit REALLY DOES put words into our minds. AH my mind was
blown! I am so grateful that I was able to receive that spiritual guidance. I
needed it and they needed it.
YAY FOR THE SPIRIT!
Also this week we got a the transfer verdict. HERMANA JENSEN
AND I ARE STAYING TOGETHA! But she will also be training! So we will be another
TRIO! Crazzyyyyy... So now I have a new STL companion from an English area but
it's all good. I trust that our leaders are following the Lord's plans for our
mission.
Here are some pics!
I love you all! Have a great week!
Be Safe&God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
