Hi friends and family!!
Sorry this is going to be a short email this week, but I had a great week! Sister Najera and I are working hard to find people to teach and it's been really good! We are trying to put ourselves out there more and share the good news! :)
I learned a lot about being prepared this week. We had a couple experiences this week where I thought we were just going to have a short visit, but we ended up teaching a whole lesson. It was amazing to me to think that if I hadn't studied those lessons and had scriptures memorized to use, I wouldn't have been able to teach on the spot like that. This was spiritual for me, because it made me want to be even more prepared. More prepared with impactful questions and statements, because you never know 100% what you are going to teach. But if you know the doctrine and you have studied, you will be prepared to share the message of the restored gospel. This made me think about the promise in Doctrine in Covenants 84:85, "Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man." As we continue to study the scriptures and the words of the Prophet, the Spirit will help us remember those things in the moment when we are sharing a message with someone. My testimony of this has truly grown this week and it definitely makes me want to study more so that I will be prepared for future lessons.
Do you have any tips or advice to studying? I'd love to hear what you do to get more out of your studies!
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Thank you for all your support! :)
We signed a rock. Pretty cool.
Sister Robinson moved on Saturday :( So sad, but happy she'll be over in Idaho
We had a Mural festival this week where artists came and did paintings on the sides of the buildings on Main street. It was so fun! We got to talk to lots of people there!
