Holy cow what a week! The work is still going slow, we have 0 progressing investigators…but, and there is a but, I KNOW we are doing all we can to bring in the fold. I don't know what the Lord wants me to learn from this yet but I know I'm supposed to learn something. After many days of wrestling with the Lord, I have discovered what I need to be doing and my answer came watching General Conference of course! There were many talks about FOLLOWING the spirit and BECOMING a disciple of Christ, and each one of these talks seemed to just wack me in the face and in the heart. I now know what I need to do. We have been working so hard this week physically, but what I have been lacking is spiritual work. It's kind of a "DUH" moment for me lol. I have learned that I need to seek the Father's will and follow the first prompting of the spirit so that I may be able to receive more and therefore be able to be guided in doing the Father's will. Sounds simple, and it is, but boy the natural man is strong in this one. I have never felt the presence of the Savior so strong as it is now, I know He is there and loving me through this, I can feel it! I testify, as a representative of Jesus Christ, that this is a true work, we have beautiful choices to make, and we have a loving Heavenly Father.

3/27/17 The work is slow here in Houston 4 Central but the Lord is with us.
Well like the title suggests, there has not been to much going on this week as far as progressing investigators. We have a ton of potentials but we are really having a hard time actually getting into the houses to teach so we can help them progress. We did however teach this one really awesome lesson, well the Spirit taught it, but it was a street contact and it was just amazing to see the heart of the lady we were teaching soften right then and there. It's such a strong testimony builder to be able to see the Spirit work through you in such and immediate way! The Spirit was so strong even on the street, that her husband came over to listen and we set up a return appointment for Tuesday. I personally had a hard week this week until about Friday, I was really just struggling with the fact that we had 0 progressing investigators. As far as "trunkyness" was concerned, I had a lot of it! The dear Lord answers prayers people! On Friday night it was just reconfirmed to me how important this work is. I love this work but it is soooooooo hard sometimes.
Love,
