Finding by Faith!

I'm staying here in 6th Ward and Alamo Ranch on my bike for at least another month and a half. I will also be staying with my companion Elder Duford. In the middle of this transfer we will be receiving our new Mission President which is exciting but I will also miss President and Sister Slaughter.

This last week we had a couple lessons with our investigator Marta. The second lesson we taught her this week was the Word of Wisdom which was a hard lesson. She was having a difficult time understanding why we can't drink coffee and tea. We have been trying to help her gain a stronger testimony of the Book of Mormon.

This last week we ran into a couple vivint workers and they have all been Mormon so far. On Saturday night for the last hour or so this super cool vivint worker took us to several houses of people he sold to and thought would be interested. The last house we stopped by he let us in and we had a great lesson. He seemed pretty interested but said his wife who was out of town would most likely not be but I think that it will change.

We had our last zone meeting this week with President Slaughter. He emphasized on "Finding by Faith". He talked about and broke down these three foundations of finding. 1) Faith-Based 2) Spirit-Lead 3) Family-Focused. He also discussed our purpose which is to "Teach Repentance and Baptize Converts". I know that as my companion and I apply what we learned we will be able to find the elect that God has been preparing.

We had several less active lesson and the Shoemakers came to church again. He was the one investigator that we had at church. We will be meeting with them this week and hopefully they have been reading from the Book of Mormon together. We also have a lesson with the Soruco family and will be inviting them to start working towards entering the temple. Looking forward to another great week.
