This week was such a great and fast week!!
The Subject line is because I keep forgetting to tell you! There are these "Crunchies"- we're not entirely sure what they are-they look kind of like acorns or some kind of nut or something. But they are everywhere! And they are the funnest thing to crunch when we're walking and biking around! Haha, so fun!
Tuesday we had Zone Conference!! The Austin Zone is so great! We went down to stay the night before with the Sisters in the Austin Capital Area which was so fun! Then we had Zone Conference! It was so amazing! The trainings and inspired teachings were exactly what I needed! President and Sister Polley talked about the Prophet's invitation to read the Book of Mormon as well as what President Eyring and President Nelson talked about in the most recent conference and then they invited us to start reading a clean copy of the Book of Mormon and mark the Doctrine of Christ (Faith in Christ, Repentance, Baptism, the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) as well as any verses that stick out to us. I'm excited to continue doing that! I actually started doing that along with marking when it talks about God and Jesus Christ at the beginning of the Transfer! It has already blessed my life so much! Quoting President Nelson, "My dear brothers and sisters, I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day, even the gripping plague of pornography and other mind-numbing addictions."
I know that the Book of Mormon is true! There is true power and strength that comes when we read it every day!
Tuesday was Quite the day!! After we got home from Zone Conference we received a phone call from a man whose wife we tried to contact earlier. We were excited that someone actually called us back! But sadly, he called only to bash us- first bashing over the phone! It was quite the experience!
We taught and found quite a few people this week!!
We found Cynthia and Jose on Tuesday who agreed to have us come back! We went back and they weren't home, but we aren't giving up yet!
On Wednesday we were finally able to teach Abraham! He is so awesome! He truly wants to know the truth for himself and wants to be sincere in building his relationship with God. The Restoration lesson went so great and we are going back on Friday!
Thursday we did mini exchanges because Hermana Ferrell was sick, but both companionships had appointments. So I stayed with Hermana Ferrell and Sister Watt went with Hermana Rueda. But then Sister Watt and I were able to go to our lesson with our investigator Hailian! We met at a member's house and it worked out perfect because she speaks Chinese and Brother Williams speaks Chinese! It was such a great lesson! We taught her about Jesus Christ and watched the Findng Faith in Christ Video in Chinese. Afterwards she asked what she could do to follow Jesus Christ! So we told her!!
On Friday we found Susan and Antonio who agreed to have us come back tomorrow!
Then on Saturday we did "Blitz Exchanges." Sister Watt and I only have one apartment complex in our area and it is also in the Spanish Sister's area so we decided to split up and contact and go through our areabooks! I was with Hermana Ferrell and we talked to so many people! All of them spoke Spanish which was so fun! Even though I couldn't hardly speak a word haha- But we found Rigoberto!! They taught him yesterday and he is really interested and has previously been to Church 9 times!! The Lord prepares his people!!
Then on Sunday we had Caesar come to church!!
It was such a great week!!!
We are praying for each and everyone of the people that I have mentioned and more!! I know that Heavenly Father truly cares about each and every one of His children!! He knows us! Personally and Individually!!!
It is such a blessing to teach and help others to feel of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ's love for them! My question for each of you is: What can you do to better follow Jesus Christ? There is always room for improvement and what a blessing it is to have the Atonement of Jesus Christ that allows us to repent daily and do our best to become a little better each and every day!! Heavenly Father has blessed us so much!! All we have to do is choose to follow Him everyday!
I love you all!! Thank you for your love, support, and prayers!! I am so grateful for you!!
I hope that you all have a wonderful week!! God is good!! He knows you and He loves you!!
Love,
Sister Broadbent
