This week, we have seen so many tender mercies and progressive steps with the people we are working with. Members, non members, former members, all of the above. It's such a cool experience to see how the gospel can just bless everybody.
There is this really young part-member couple we love to meet with who made us this "american night" meal and it was so good. We had curly fries and burgers and then rocky road cheesecake, and they had gone to the store and bought some American candy like Hershey's and lucky charms for us to take away.
One of my favourite days this week is a chance we had to go out teaching with our favourite member, and we brought along our 15 year old friend who isn't a member, although some of his family is. And we went and taught a few lessons, and he absolutely killed it! He did so good! He bore such a strong testimony of Joseph Smith and his experience, and how the spirit had played a role in his life personally. It honestly just warms your heart seeing that in the people you're working with. Plus he rolled up in a shirt and tie!
The best lesson we had this week was with a part member family who we teach regularly and who are progressing so well. I feel God has for them so strongly when we teach them. My favourite member went teaching with us too and something I love about him is he is so funny and slightly inappropriate but so spiritual. Before the lesson he is talking about farts and we are all laughing super hard then 2 minutes later he is testifying of the power of the Holy Ghost and how it plays a major part in our lives. I have learned a ton from him about the importance of being true to yourself. It may not be doctrine but I think the spirit will flow more naturally when you are being completely yourself. This is something that I love by and because of it I have been able to develop so many strong relationships with the people I have met on my mission.
