Week 20
Ye must watch and pray always and whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you. (3 Nephi 18:18-20)
We have been teaching a lot about prayer this past week and I have been thinking about how often I pray for things such as gozo, salud, and paz without really thinking about what I'm asking. They are things everyone wants and needs so we pray for them in almost every prayer. This week I learned how hard it is to not be at your best, and so as I continue to pray for these things I will definitely be thinking more about why we need them in our lives and what I'm really asking for and I hope all of you can as well!
This week we had two awesome lessons with the owners of a place where we buy our fruits and vegetables. We had the first lesson with them this week during a lunch in their business that they invited us too. Like many conversations we have with people, they started talking about wine or coffee… some type of drink we don't drink. We then proceeded to tell them that we don't drink those kinds of things and then taught them the word of wisdom. This was our second lesson, after a Christmas lesson with them, and they said that they were going to try and keep the word of Wisdom! Our second lesson went just as they were very receptive to the first part of the restoration. They are so interested in learning more!
We learned this week that we make plans for the day, and it's a good thing that our plans can change because the Lord definitely has other plans for us. On Saturday we messaged a less active member and learned that it was her daughter's birthday that day. So we made some room in our schedule to go sing happy birthday! Now as we were saying a prayer for the family before we left, my stomach started to feel a little funny… funny as in throw up funny. Luckily, I did not throw up there. But as we walked I told my comp how I was feeling and she was like oh I have something that will help. So we stopped at the park and after putting this pill thing in my water and drinking it, I proceeded to throw up. I felt a lot better. And it turned out to be a blessing because our appointment for that hour actually had troubles with his phone so when we called him later Saturday day night after our English class we actually had time to talk to him.
Now for Sunday: We were fine, just a little tired. We walked for half an hour to get to a lesson only to have it cancel on us. But really Heavenly Father was watching out for one of the members in our ward. We went to visit her instead of this lesson which was an answer to her prayers! . As the end of the day approached and we were eating dinner both my comp and I ate our first taco but as I ate about half of the second one once again I needed to run to the bathroom and throw up. We were blessed to receive priesthood blessings of health, peace, and hope. And we're hoping that today with our day of preparation we will be prepared for the coming week!
Wishing you all a healthy and happy week!
