Week 56 7/20/15

7.20.15

Happy P-day!

This week has been a full one! between zone activities, service, basketball night, teaching investigators, district meeting, and exchanges, We've been going pretty much non stop all week! What a blessing it is though!

One highlight is an experience I had While on exchange in Athens with an Elder Named Elder Forbush. We were tracting and had found some great success in teaching a few Spanish families, we then set up return appointments for the Spanish sisters in Athens to go back because The Elders there are only English speaking. So as time went on, we decided we better walk to a restroom because when its hot and you've been drinking a ton of water, obviously a restroom will be needed. So, on the way, I saw this group of 3 people sitting on a porch and I felt extremely prompted to go talk to them. unfortunately I was having an internal dilemma.... bathroom, or talk to them. Luckily, the spirit won that battle and me and Elder Forbush went over and started talking to these wonderful people. Shortly into the conversation however, an unfortunately long winded Ex-Pastor Methodist joined the conversation. He was very nice, but went on talking for around 20 ish minutes before deciding he had to go. At this point I was about ready to explode, but I kept feeling prompted to stay and wait out the pastor, Elder Forbush did as well. Finally, after much patience and much bladder control, we were able to really talk to this small family. They had some of the best questions ever and were really honest and open to the gospel. We taught them about the plan of salvation and the blessings that come from living the gospel in it. THEY LOVED IT! It was such a cool experience because it shows how much satan will try and put everything in your way to stop you from teaching someone who is prepared, but if we listen to the spirit and keep trying, we will be able to tach the true gospel of jesus Christ to those who are ready! It was awesome! :)

Well, I just wanted to share a little video with yall.
