 Hello! The week went well much better than the last, with our focus to find five new investigators it was achieved! We are very happy in saying that we followed the spirit and really let the Holy Ghost be the guide this week. We had some really good potentials come out of it. So we've got a lot of work to do this week! We are so ready to just do it! Along with following the spirit we had the opportunity to give a blessing to a part-member family we are visiting, the Mataafa Family. We've been working with the father for quite some time and is progressing well. He came to church this week on his own along with the kids! Elder Iakopo and I were so excited!
I came to a realization this week yet again with the power of fasting. Church was a huge testimony builder of listening. Teaching two classes was a big test for us. But when relying on the spirit and listening with charity it brings clarity. I have a very firm witness now of the importance of fasting. What great spiritual power it has given to me. One day a week without a temporal intake of food or worldly desires brings six days of spiritual capacity to endure. It's amazing to me how powerful fasting really is. Everything physical is shut off and spiritual is turned on. The more we turn off the physical and turn on the spiritual we always get the benefits. In order for a more spiritual experience of fasting is this. Getting rid of the world and listening to the sways of the Spirit! It works!
Trade-off on Friday was a success for us with Elder Pemberton and Fougerouse. Many concerns from Elder Fougerouse were shared about his companions. A lot was shared and a lot was resolved. Studying has been a problem for him so I gave him some suggestions on what might help him out. Start with a question, seek for things that answer your question, and seek how what you learned can be applied. Elder Pemberton is seeking to do things his own way and leaving his companion behind. Preparations are being made to let him know that when you are working together you are much stronger. Gained some guidance from Elder Perritt on how I might help him realize what needs to change.
Elder Mahoney and Kafalava are doing much better than in previous times. Much more progression has been made in their companionship. Yet again another really good week. Elder Iakopo and I were able to help them out this week with shopping, and in return they feed us some dinner, tacos. Really grateful for the District we are even though we have a few hiccups that need to be fixed!
I hope all is going well for you and may Heavenly Father's blessings be upon you:)
