It's been such a busy, great week! We went on exchanges everyday from Monday through Friday. We did so in order to train; also according to the requests of some of the elders in our zone. It was a neat experience to work with so many different missionaries! However, I missed my permanent companion. I realized this week that the companions we do have were given to us as a calling. When we received our calls, it wasn't just to a place, or not only to your President. Every companion that we have... we were called to serve them as well, we are also blessed to serve with them. I also learned this week how much this is the Lord's work. I seem to learn that more and more every new day that I'm here
.
Everyday of work this week was a highlight for me. Tuesday we had great success with teaching our investigators, and with feeling the spirit in all of our lessons. We were guided to find and teach new less actives. We had a hard day as far as the work goes, but were able to find a less active who told us that she's ready to come back to church now. We learned that even though we are punted, it is because the Lord has another plan and wants us to find someone else. On Thursday, I worked with one of the most diligent working missionaries that I've met. We just had a wholesome day together, full of the spirit. On Friday we had a hard day as well as far as the work goes. We met with a Muslim man. It broke my heart to talk to him because he doesn't want to accept Christ as a Savior. I couldn't imagine life without the knowledge that I have of who my savior is. I'm so grateful for this church and the truth that it teaches. We were also lead to a less active member, on a prompting of the spirit through Elder Sorilla and it turned out that a member of their family needed a blessing. Boy we were glad that he followed that prompting. On Saturday I got to be back with my own companion. We were finally able to work together again, in which we had a very successful branch missionary fireside.
