This week was quite the experience! With Elder
Smedley leaving, we had packed everything we could into our days. We
were also very frustrated with how things went this week... Almost every
person we spoke with this week was very receptive! But, ALL of them
cancelled our appointments or texted us and said that they really had no
intent on finding out more.
I realize now how the
Lord humbles us. We have such a great week, give thanks for everything
we have, and then the next week, we'll just get schwacked by not having
any success. I have really learned the importance and how to have a
successful "Mighty Prayer".
Mighty prayers are
something that I actually feel like could help every one who is reading
this to become that much closer with our Heavenly Father. I just want to
start by saying how easy they really are! It may seem like we don't
have time to do that in the morning or at night, but I PROMISE you that,
when you find time to do this every day and every night, you will be so
much more blessed! So, start and end your day with a mighty prayer!
Kneel down and tell Heavenly Father everything you want to accomplish
that day, or tell him everything that you were able to get done. Trust
me, He listens. And He blesses!!
The past couple of days, I have had some of the most mighty and sincere prayers that I could ever conjure up. On Friday,
President called and told me that he had felt inspired to call me to be
a trainer! I accepted the call, and after I had hung up the phone,
realized what had just happened. Elder Smedley is going to be a
grandfather! Haha, but seriously... I am still very nervous about
exactly what is going to happen.
I have become the
Teacher! I know that this inspiration came from the Lord through a man
called of God. I have faith that everything will be great in the end!!
So, the take-away for today, is to get down on your knees every night and offer up your desires to God! Trust me, he helps!
P.S. There might not be pictures this week... :(
