Hey! So now I can explain why we made 90 loaves of bread. Sister Boyack and I decided to make a valentine for each of the families in our ward. It was super fun! It was ana amazing experience to be able to show love to that many people. We were very specific that we didn't want to ask for anything while we were there and we've already seen miracles come from it. What if love was our only motivation?
This week was really good. Yesterday we were trying to contact potentials and stopped at one house. The person who lived there doesn't live there anymore but we met Raj. He was super cool and wants to learn more about Jesus Christ. New person being taught! Yay!
We also taught a member referral last night. Last week we were at a members house and were teaching them about the ward mission plan, Love, Lift, Include, and Invite. So we were like, "how can you love, lift, include, and invite?" And they were like, "we can invite our work friend to take the lessons from the missionaries." And we were like, "okay!" So we taught him last night. His name is Rohit. It was a really interesting lesson because he knew nothing about Jesus Christ. The prayers he says are memorized and in a dead language that he doesn't know the meaning of. He said he really likes how personal our prayers are. Have you ever thought about how special a gift it is to be able to speak directly to our Heavenly Father? I'm so grateful that I can talk to my Father and that He can talk back to me.
What do you think of the adjustment to missionary standard about communicating to family? It's pretty crazy that I can call home every week if I need to. It's so amazing that we have a prophet to lead and guide the church today.
I love you!
