This week has been good. How has your week been? Anything cool? Exciting? Boring?
I
really get stumped when it comes to these e-mails, I'm not sure what to
talk about. But, Hey. Here's my week in summary. Lots of walking,
talking and preaching and teaching. That's it! Have a great week
everyone!
Nah, I'm just kidding I'll talk a
little more than that. One of the cool things this week, was District
Meeting. We have a weekly meeting where a group of missionaries, a
district, get together and study and discuss how to more effectively
help those around us, the members of the church, people who aren't
members, etc. The District Leader, (me), teaches the main topics and
leads the discussions. So this week, I was teaching and it didn't feel
like the lesson that we all needed to have and needed to hear. So, as a
District Leader, and as a missionary over-all, we desperately try and
pay attention to the promptings of the Spirit. So a prompting from the
Spirit came to mind in the form of a question, to ask about who was
nervous about transfers. So when I followed that prompting, basically
stopping mid sentence and asked who was nervous, almost everyone raised
their hands, including me! So that's when we stopped the lesson and just
talked about what everyone felt and what was going through our minds at
that point. It was good. It calmed me down, and everyone else said they
felt better and that they thought the meeting was good. So, how can I
apply this better? Teach the people, not just the lesson. Sometimes we
have a dramatic change in what we teach, and sometimes we just need to
talk. Following the Spirit will never lead us astray. I know God lives
and loves us. He reaches out to us through those whom he has called to
lead and guide us. Jesus Christ lives. His Atonement reaches everyone.
Trusting Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, will
lead us to heights we never thought we could reach. In the name of Jesus
Christ, Amen.
Have a great week everyone! Trust God. I'll write something else next week!
