August 24th, 2016

 A cool insight I had last while an area 70 was speaking to us! Worthiness comes from keeping the commandments. Spirituality comes from how much we are striving to come close to God.

As we go through life, our worthiness usually doesn't change. Our spirituality does though because so many variables in life affect our spirituality such as health, time, finance, where we live, friends and family, job, general stress, our study and prayer etc. We often time mix the two though and we think because we are low spiritually then we are not worthy. This is a tool Satan uses to make us feel unworthy and when we feel unworthy and we are low spiritually then we are vulnerable to Satan and can become unworthy.



So something that sucked is Melony dropped us. It was sad too because we had a really good teach with her last week but she messaged us and said she can't join our church because her beliefs of evolution are too strong and deeply rooted and she doesn't feel like she would ever be able to change. We will see what happens with her though. I think it will click for her one day.

The rest if the week was great! A super cool miracle we had was when we went to have a DA (dinner appointment) with a member in a town called Tavistock which is about a 30 min drive from Plymouth. I have never been there and apparently missionaries haven't been there in a very long time because the buses we use don't go out there and missionaries were probably too poor to leave the city of Plymouth. So we went home with the Hoopers after church and we had a few hours in between getting there and dinner time so we went knocking on the houses around theirs. The first street we knocked in we found a guy who was a bit weird but listened and we taught him at the door. Then we had about 10 minutes before dinner and I felt like we should go knock a street really close to the Hoopers house and within a few doors we met Marie who is the mother of two girls. We taught her at her door for about 30 minutes then got an appointment for the next day. We came by and her and her boyfriend/partner (they don't live together) were there and we had such a good teach and they really soaked it all up. She was especially interested because she believed in God, but was so confused by all of the many different Christians religions. When we taught her about how Joseph Smith had the same feeling and he just wanted to know which church was right it really clicked with her. She said she's not much of a reader, but she would take the time to read. The spirit was really strong during the lesson. They were both really excited to see us next week and said they would have their 14 yr old daughter join the lesson too! So stoked for them.

Life is good here in England and I'm loving the growth and change that this time is having on me. I am strengthening my faith in Christ daily and making Him my foundation in life.
