This week we had a an area president come visit us. And he gave us alot of advice, and new ideas. He came to our zone conference, and it was a really great experience. The are a presidents are super smart, I believe they are under the apostles. Something great he taught us, was to be a loving missionary. For example stand by the door before church starts, and greet everyone and say something "It´s a pleasure to have you again!" And many other examples, then the members will be talking about you, and later the references will come.. A story that he shared that I liked a lot: Missionaries were teaching a investigator that couldn´t stop drinking cofee. The investigator decided to stop listening the missionaries... The missionaries at the last moment when they were with him asked him "Can you stop drinking for one day?" With a tone that made it sound as if he was challenging him. The investigator said "Yes, I can." That very moment, the missionaries started a fast, and when they came back to verify, the person didn´t drink coffee the whole day. Then they challenged him to do it 2 days in a row. The investigator was able to do it, and quit drinking coffee and now this very person (investigator) was baptized, and then became a mission president, and had several other great callings.
2 Ne 27:23 "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith". Many miracles happen in the missionary work. We are experiencing one. We found a family that was so prepared to hear us, they want to be baptized now. There are waiting for a divorce, and the ex husband has authorize it... they must be married, We are leaving it in the Lord´s hands, this is his work, and I know though our faith we will be able to see a miracle.
This was a great week. I love all of you, take care.
