This has been a great week. I have learned so much and grown so much. We had a zone conference which focused a lot on working with the members of the church and helping them to be missionaries followed by the exchange. Elder Hinck came to Tillamook with me and we had a wonderful time and I was able to learn so much from him.
Over these past few weeks, the investigators we have been working with have been making a lot of progress! LaTasha came to church and absolutely loved it! She is getting nervous but very excited for her baptism and is loving all that we and the members have taught her. Richard is moving a little bit slower but is still loving the gospel and is thinking about pushing his baptismal date forward. He has seen some major changes in his life since he has been living the basic principles of the gospel.
On Sunday I gave a talk but in preparation for it I was reading through all of the general conference talks from this past general conference. As I was reading and listening to President Nelson’s talks, the holy ghost testified to me of the truthfulness of his message. After that, I searched deeper and one thing that he says many times is the Holy Ghost and how we can better hear it and follow its promptings. As I implemented this into my life as a missionary, I was able to overcome many of my fears such as talking to people. I was also better able to love the people and truly find out what they need to hear at that moment to help their heart soften. The holy spirit has been a huge blessing in my life as it can help to lead and direct every thought.
