A week full of miracles!!!
1. We had these investigators, The Gainies, that were just going in circles and we never could do anything with them, which is crazy cause they almost got baptized last year. We were going to see them and met their neighbor, Maria!!! She is awesome! she has tons of potential! so we are happy! We taught her twice this week. She has had a rough life but she loves reading about Jesus. She actually is from Barcelona Spain so we got her a spanish Book of Mormon and she was so happy and loves reading it! So we are excited to keep working with her!
2. I went on trade off with Elder Swenson, a missionary in Pace, it was great! I have never laughed so much in my life. He is the funniest guy in the world, I love it!!!! We had a great time, taught a few lessons and just had a ball! I'm grateful we have such great elders in this district!!!
3. We had zone training this week and it was so darn good! Spiritual nourishment to the max! The Milton sister gave a great talk on recognizing and following the holy ghost! The three things we have to do to recognize the spirit more in our life are: 1. have a desire to change, Elder Zwick of the 70 said " if you have the desire to change you will have the spirit" it is desire that qualifies us for the work!!! 2. We need to pray fervently for the spirit! PRAY PRAY PRAY! then you will get it 3. Obey and faithfully follow the spirit! As we do this the promptings will be easier to follow!!!
4. The zone leader then talked about how we can expand our faith! 4 ways we can do that are: 1. Pray for faith! A common theme I see! 2. Repent daily! Repentance is a positive, uplifting experience! 3. Keep the commandments! 4. Study the scriptures. As we do these our primary answers our faith will increase! It was a great meeting and I received a lot of revelation!
5. After zone training we had a district leader conference and that was awesome. one of the zone leaders that I love and respect so much told me very sincerely "You are all called of god specifically because you can help those in your area and district. There is a reason you are district leaders and it's because you have a lot to give! So i thought that was super cool! It was way more powerful then, sorry....
6. We have been biking around a lot and now I try to say a prayer before we go that we will be led! And bam we got led to a recent convert that totally fell off the deep end and he was super happy to see us! Miracles of following the spirit, am I right?
7. We helped a family cut bamboo to make walking sticks it was way fun! I wish I had a panda it would have made that job easier! Bamboo can be a pain sometimes though!!! It grows like weeds, especially when you only have super dull clippers!
8. A family that came to church a few weeks ago, The Registers. We haven't been able to talk to them since and we finally caught them at home! They actually wanted to come back to church so that was sweet!!! I'm excited to see what happens and they fed us some beast mode tacos!!! I love tacos!
9. Saturday basketball! We have started to have a basketball morning and it is actually fun! The only thing that would have made it better is if i didn't stink at basketball but I'm getting better very slowly but it's still better than nothing, right?
10. I now have sweet road bike tires on my mountain bike. The tread on my original tires was just too bad and the guy at the bike shop suggested these! They are sweet and make me feel super cool!! Got to love it, right?
Love you all!
Elder Taylor
