Teaching and Learning

Dear Family,

I'm so sorry I haven't written anything for this blog in a while! Things have just been crazy.

This week was really good. We found 2 new investigators, whom we taught the Restoration to this week. They both accepted the challenge to pray and read the Book of Mormon. We set one for a baptismal date of April 26 and the other is praying for a date where he thinks he can be ready by. We meet with him tonight and hopefully that goes well!

We were invited by a member family to a "pie night" on 3/14. They are in medical school, so they invited a lot of their classmates too. We weren't sure if we would be able to find a missionary purpose for being there, so we prayed before we went into the house. Miracles happen, because within 30 minutes of us being there, people were asking us questions, from "Do you get to choose where you serve" to "What's your schedule like" to "What does your church believe about baptism." It was really cool! We ended up teaching the Plan of Salvation, and we learned a lot about their religion too. They are all Seventh-day Adventists. That knowledge will help me as I work in this area. My area is a highly concentrated SDA town.

We also had the privilege of having Elder Neil L. Anderson of the 12 to come do a mission conference with us. He spoke a lot on the Atonement, which I thought was interesting. I was just grateful he didn't talk about obedience or something like that!

He also came to our stake conference on Sunday. There he spoke about the Resurrection. He used to Bible mostly, and spoke about Lazarus and the significance it was the he was risen from the dead. The mayors from San Bernardino and Redlands were at the stake conference, and there were times where Elder Anderson spoke only to them. You could definitely feel the Spirit in that meeting!

General Conference is in 3 weeks! We should prepare ourselves now to hear from our beloved prophet :)
