"I have come to know how the Spirit speaks to me. It's personal for each of us, but it's one of the most precious things to discover"....Week 74

Hey Everyone!

So just a quick update this week, Im getting a new companion once again! He is from Nevada and is awesome so we will see how this transfer goes! I am now on my 10th companion I think. 

Sarah is doing amazing this week. Honestly I am surprised at how much love you can have for a investigator after knowing them for only a month. She is so prepared for this gospel. Just from last week til now she has read all of Alma. She will text us her favorite part she read and the notes she writes about it. She has had some trials since learning about the gospel with her family and boyfriend rejecting her, but she doesn't care -she knows it is true. She came to a baptism this Saturday and loved it. She is so excited for her own baptism. It will be on May 14th and she will be confirmed on May 15th. Honestly the best birthday present I could ask for. I feel that this is real joy, seeing other people come unto Christ and find the joy in it. This was her favorite scripture this week: 

Alma34:36 And this I know, because the Lord hath said he dwelleth not in unholy temples, but in the hearts of the righteous doth he dwell; yea, and he has also said that the righteous shall sit down in his kingdom, to go no more out;but their garments should be made white through the blood of the Lamb.

 37 And now, my beloved brethren, I desire that ye should remember these things, and that ye should work out your salvation with fear before God, and that ye should no more deny the coming of Christ;

 38 That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ;that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and 

blessings which he doth bestow upon you.

She is so ready for this gospel. I think that scripture is good advice for all of us, to stop contending with the Spirit but to yield our hearts to it's promptings. Maybe that is a challenge I will give for these next few weeks. Learn how the Spirit speaks to you and act on those promptings. I have come to know how the Spirit speaks to me. It's personal for each of us, but it's one of the most precious things to discover.

I am doing good, I love being a missionary. There isn't much joy that compares to this. I am truly happy. I hope you all have a great week!
