Happy easter all!
Things went well this last week. We're still not having as much success as we would like but we're still working hard and trying to find those people that are the elect and searchers for truth. They'll come around for us, it's just a matter of patience. It's a good thing I'm so full of that Christ-like attribute. Not. I need some help in that aspect, but maybe that's why this is happening how it is. Whose to say?
Yesterday I was blessed to teach the Gospel principles class. The lesson was supposed to be on fasting and that's what I had originally planned on teaching but it was suggested about 20 minutes before church that I should teach on the Atonement. It was Easter after all. It fell right so I did, and it was perfect. It was probably more for me than it was for everyone else in the class, to tell the truth. I got a lot out of it, but I think the best part was that I was able to feel the spirit teach through me and testify to the people in that class of the truth of what I was saying. It was far too long of a gap of time from the last time I was able to really feel that way about something that I taught in an organized lesson. Knowing that the people were listening really helped as well. It was good to testify of the Atonement and have the spirit confirm it to myself as well. I think that's the most important thing that came from yesterday's lesson.
That's about all of the fun events from this week, hopefully this week will be filled with more excitement and adventure. because we all love that! Take care and enjoy!
