Nothing very exciting happened this week. At least not that I can think of. Although, every night around 3 am, I have been waking up and getting out of my bed and praying. Then I realize its not time to be up and I still have time to sleep. Its weird and It has happened almost every night. The first night, I prayed out loud and my companion said amen. Pretty funny.
One of our favorite investigators said their pastor said they shouldn´t listen to us anymore. Hopefully, they´ll listen to us this week. They were pure gold. I think they still are, they just are having opposition.
We had ward conference yesterday. It was different than any ward conference I've been to. The primary sang the opening hymn. Then the choir sang. Then the usual stuff. And after the closing prayer, the choir sang again. Also, something else they do different, the prayers aren´t assigned and it isn't only adults that give them. Everyone is on the toes.
Sometimes people are really spiritually blind. Its so frustrating sometimes. One of our less actives, she thinks all she needs to do is pray. She doesn't need church or the scriptures or anything. Its really frustrating. We have lessons with her, and she always says, I know I need to do better, I will. And then she doesn´t. One of our investigators, we went to have our visit. When we got there, she had her Book of Mormon in her hand and said she didn't want to change her religion. My companion asked if she prayed about it. She said no. Why do people not understand faith=Action. I think that's why Elder Bednar talked to us about it a lot when I was in the Mtc. Because if you want things to happen, you have to act. After your trial you receive the blessings. Ok, I think I am doe with my little rant.
I'm not sure what else to say. I know this is the true church. I testify of it. I testify we have to act.You can´t sit on your couch and expect there to be miracles. If Joseph Smith had, where would we be?
Anyways, I feel like I am givin a "planchar," or telling off. That's not my intent. I love you all and Hope all is well. How is your study of Preach My Gospel?
