Changing lives

Happy Holidays Y'all!

This week was another good one. We struggled a bit in finding some new people to teach but we went hard with the ones that we do have to teach! We have been trying to help them keep their commitments every time, so that they can feel the spirit in there lives more frequently.

At the start of the week we had a lesson with Lorie and she started to debate us about the word of wisdom. She was trying to prove her point that If we can drink coke and all of these drinks that are bad for us then why can't we drink coffee and tea. I taught her that it is a principle and isn't limited to those drinks, but that it is between us and God, whether we should drink those drinks. Also I brought it back to whether the book of Mormon was true or not deems that the Word of Wisdom is necessary. We left that night a little uncertain of what was going to happen.

Then on Friday we had interviews with our mission president. We were told to get there at 2:30 but didn't end up being interviewed until 5, so we pretty much wasted a day because we had a pretty long drive back to our area afterwards.

Then on Saturday we met with Lorie again, she apologized for the debate and we had a really neat experience with her! She bore her testimony to us that she knows what we teach is true because she has seen such a change in her life. She talked about how since we have been teaching her, that she has been able to deal with things a lot better and feels calmer. Of course we told her, that she was feeling the spirit in her life. She is working hard towards her baptism date of December 30th! So pray for her!

After that we went with a member and some investigators to Shreveport and went to this Nativity/Christmas event the Church was putting on. It was a lot of fun to see some other missionaries but the best part of it all was that Sister Fields took us out for a steak dinner!!! You know that is my favorite thing ever and I was in heaven! It was amazing and I loved it!! She is the best.

Then on Sunday we went up to Shreveport to help with another event and that was a lot of fun. I hope everyone has a great week!
