3/24/14: Never A Dull Moment

I have decided that Heavenly Father doesn't believe in letting missionaries relax. With the exception of like one transfer back when I was in Green Bay :) And He only does that when he's prepping you for something really intense.

Our new investigator Luke is a really good guy, and an honest seeker. It's these people that I take completely responsibility for, because if they don't convert there's gotta be something wrong with what I'm doing. He's ready for it. I am not letting this guy slip. But he does need a tad bit more desire. Then he'll be solid, haha :)

Our week started with getting TOTALLY Bible-bashed by Luke's mom for like half an hour. I think it was the first real bible-bashing of my mission (although it's really weird to call it bible-bashing when it's so one-sided). It was fantastic. I felt like Luke's faith in what we had to share grew from the experience. My faith certainly did. And we hardly said anything.

You know that scripture in Alma 7 and other places that talks about people 'making his paths crooked' and stuff? Totally redefined for me. These people are masters of it. I don't know why they would want to believe stuff like that!

Can I have a spokesman like Moses and Aaron? That would be nice. I swear I'm awful at explaining these epic connections I make in my brain. Me and giving trainings=no bueno.

Every now and then I have to reformulate the way I teach because I slip into Sister Neal Teaching rather than PmG Teaching and then I notice that it's just not as good. This was one of those rewiring weeks.

Random thoughts of this week:

Committing investigators to not talk so much and listen better. Politely. Is excellent.

That HAWKWARD moment when your investigator is not an investigator anymore and they didn't even get baptized yet. But might need to get rebaptized. Nonsense.

 WHAT THE??

Apostates who don't know they're apostates. Word to the wise: LISTEN TO THE PROPHETS NOT THE BORN AGAINS ON THE INTERNET

One of the best things about senior couples in your area:you find and teach the investigators, and they fellowship them! It's great. I swear all our investigators just hang out with the senior missionaries whenever we aren't looking.

Livin the best life ever :D
