Best Week Of My Mission So Far

Hey Family hows it going?! well it sounds like your doing good so i'll get right into it! i'm completly honest when i say that this was the best week of my mission so far! oh man the experiances where amazing! And plus my comp is so legit it makes things way fun. ok so first off on tuesday i was kind of nervous cause i had to lead the area but i ended up having one of the best days ever! oh man let me tell you something... i've learned and seen first hand the spirit of the lord take over in our work and in peoples lives. i cant even put to words the way i've seen the spirit work here. So tuesday we went to this one house and i was expecting the mom but she wasn't there and it was her daughter who i had never met before anyways we started talking and my comp is way good and so we got her to open up and at the end of the lesson we gave her a blessing and before we left she said she really needed our help and was so grateful we came. i was like wow that was truly the spirit it was unreal i wish i could better describe it through words haha. so then we went to another girls house and she was having a rough week and was praying for help. i was like holy cow the spirit is guiding us to these people and they really need us. anyways at the end of that lesson we gave her a blessing as well. i was just in awe the whole day cause i couldn't believe how blessed we were. so then wednesday my comp and elder mansfield's comp had to go to urdenta for a leader training meeting so it was just us two who both don't speak good tagalog haha. anyways when we were in a taxi i tried talking to this guy and he was not having it. granted my tagalog isn't good but i was still asking good questions and i knew they were understandlable! but he just wouldn't have it haha. it was a long taxi ride and i was like fine he doesn't want to hear it. but then i had a strong feeling i needed to give him a book of mormon. at first i was like no way this guy won't even say two words to me but the feeling got stronger and stronger and i was getting nervous cause my tagalog but i trusted in the spirit and took a leap of faith. it was a big step for me cause before i could do it cause i know my companion can back me up if i can't speak but this time it was all me so i did it and he ended up really appreciating it and finally loosened up a bit haha. oh man i was just glad i listened to the promptings of the spirit! it was a amazing experience cause like it says in D&C oh man i can't remember exactly but when it says open your mouth and the words will be there... something like that and thats what happened it was really neat. so then on thursday oh man it was great we went and visited a less active and she married a non-member and she really opened up to us and really misses the church and has been having a rough time lately and how she was so grateful that we showed up! i just couldn't believe again and again the spirit led us to people that needed our help. we ended up giving another blessing to her as well. oh man it was just so good! day after day i saw the hand of the lord leading and guiding us! then on sunday she came to Church with her whole family! oh man it was amazing!!!!! greatest feeling ever! and the koreans came to church but they have to go to the earlier ward for now but thats ok cause were going to get them baptized! thats our goal and its going to happen! all in all it was just the greatest experiance i wish i could tell you every single one but that would take forever haha. just know this week was the best and i just love it! it really made me love the mission. and it flying by i swear everyday just flies by. i love you guys so much!
