Snow again!

April 24
This week started out very disappointing with a member we were working with telling us she had decided to go to a 'bible based religion' although she has never read the Bible and we always teach her from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. She asked that no one from the church contact her. As we talked to her the spirit taught us two things that majorly contributed. She had slowly been neglecting keeping the commandments, and now feels it is easier to go somewhere that won't tell her she is doing anything wrong or that she can use the atonement. And the second was that she got involved with Anti. It hurt a lot to see her make that choice and to wonder why she listened to the Anti poison that her roommate printed off for her instead of relying on the 10 plus years of positive experiences and spiritual reaffirmations she has had in the gospel. But we still love her. It has caused me to re-commit again to turn always to the scriptures and prophets and to make that a daily study in my life.

We saw great miracles throughout the week though, including two great new investigators: a mother and 13 year old daughter who we are excited about. A member told us about them, and they were so open to us coming. We will see what happens with them this week! yea! I am always excited when I get to teach teenagers, because I was 14 when I firmly got my testimony, and I can't imagine what high school would have been like without that. I just want these teenagers to have that too!

We had training from the man in charge of historic sites in Salt Lake come this week. It was really good talking about how we can better teach the gospel and the history at our sites and visitor center. I always like being reproved in a loving way :)

Hope you have a great week!
