I hope that y'all have had a good week and that things are doing well out West! Things here in Oakland have been pretty great and being on the Lords errand is a job that I love. Lots of miracles and so many blessings.
This week we had the Mission Tour Tri-Zone Conference with Elder Haynie. It was really great, and we learned a lot about how to work with members and how to be more effective with those that we are teaching. It was incredible to be there and feel the Spirit that was brought in. He mentioned a lot of things that we should all apply to help the Lord gather Scattered Israel. Plus, I got to see good ole Elder Hunts Brian so that is always a good time.
We had a lot of time to tract this week and things have been picking up a lot because we have an extra hour or so of light that we can tract and talk to people. We have been able to pick up lots of potentials that we should see again this week. I say this every week, but I promise that we are trying them and finding who the Lord has prepared for us.
So, I have been working a lot with a member named Brother France since I got here. We go over and visit with him and talk a lot about church and the BOM. He finally came to church which was so sweet!! The numbers were pretty small yesterday and when he walked in it was awesome to see everyone light up and were all really excited to see him again!
Spiritual thought/challenge: Try this week to just talk to someone that needs the Gospel. It doesn't matter if you stumble over your words or they totally reject you. If you open your mouth you are successful, and your effort will not be forgotten. You never know who the Lord has been preparing and you are the one they are waiting for.
Thank you all for all that you do for me. Have a great week!
