Dear Family,
obviously
i spent the whole time trying to send you pictures haha. sorry. so i
don't have much time to write! but wow this week was so great. I
love President Zwick and Sister Zwick. They are the nicest people ever.
They were at church on sunday and gave great talks. We had 10
investigators there! And they all loved their talks and now they all want
to be baptized!! so we have Mckeun this saturday, hopefully Reshma the next
week. and John Mills the next! And then the next hopefully a girl named
Carina.
We
are being so blessed in our area, and in our mission. In the month of may
our mission might be able to have 90 baptisms! Thats more than we had all
last year. So everyone is really excited.
There's
just too much to write this week and not enough time! But Sister Zwick
taught us something really important about giving talks and teaching people.
She said the best way to do it is to state the principle that you are
going to teach, then give a personal experience that teaches that principle and
then support it with the doctrine and then testify. If you look at all
the general conference talks they follow that pattern. Lots of times we try to
teach too many principles at once or share too many experiences but its so much
stronger if we just do one!
Also,
she gave us a journal and said that most of the time we write down our
experiences in our journals but we never write down the principles that we
learn from them. So she invited us to just write down all the little
things that happen and then go back and ponder and write down the principle
that you can learn from it. we all have lots of trials and challenges and
just every day living that we learn from but how often to we ponder and define
what we have learned.
Anyways..
this week should be really busy so we are excited. but i have to go love to
all!
PS.
they gave us permission to go to Nevis today.. we've been dreaming about nevis
for the last 6 months! we are so excitedd!!!!! yay. So expect
pictures of nevis next week!
Love
Sister
