This week we had a couple lessons with Anna Seilbach and a couple other investigators. Anna has been reading the chapters that we leave her with in the Book of Mormon. She also has been praying more and out loud and she came to church on Sunday. It has been amazing to see her interest continue to grow and she has a great desire to learn more and more. She hasn't accepted a baptismal date yet because she is still wanting to learn more before she changes was she has believed her whole life and from the teachings that she learned during her childhood in the Ukraine. We had a lesson in a members home Friday night. She shared several experiences over the past couple weeks that have been miracles and blessings from God. Our Heavenly Father has been giving her many signs that this is the true church. Also during gospel principles she said that this is her first time coming to a Mormon church because she wants to learn instead of coming to hang out and be with her Mormon friends.
We also have been able to continue to teach Jasmine Selman who is 20. When we first visited with her she was an atheist but now she believes in God. She knows if any church is true it is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints. We are helping her realize and understand how God will answer her prayer. It has been fun teaching her and seeing her change.
During the Austin Zone Conference we focused on ways we can continue to improve our teaching by asking inspired questions, listening, and being guided by the spirit. We watched several different clips from the District and then were able to split up as a zone and do a lot of role plays. I learned a lot and once again realized the importance of not getting in the way of the spirit during lessons. I am grateful to have the spirit as the senior companion to help us know what to say and how to help our investigators progress.
Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord; then stand on your feet and do
what you are asked to do."
