Hey family,
Man it was a great week, we really really worked as hard as we could and up to this point are still completely exhausted. The week started with a meeting with Elder Craig C. Christensen of the 70 in San Pablo, we knew it would be quite the experience to hear from him and feel of that spirit he has in such a personal setting, so we woke up at 3 AM and left on the bus at 4AM , we arrived on time for the 9 AM meeting, and man was it worth it. We really had tried to exercise more virtue in our thoughts, and actions in the days prior to the meeting and the Lord really blessed us for it. I felt that I was being lifted up off of my chair as he spoke for only 20 minutes on the concept of prayer, I have never felt more information and visions of application flow more freely into my mind than they did at that time, My prayers have improved so much in the past week, I've felt closer than ever to my father in heaven. He said that the trick is to learn to pray for what god wants you to pray for, to think about what you should pray and be ready to yield to spiritual promptings in that prayer, its almost a matching game, to match our prayer and will to gods, and then we see that the answers come, He said that its not an easy process, its a wrestle, its work to seek for the Lords hand in matters of great significance, but it is possible to receive revelation for anything that we face in this life.
We were so excited after that meeting we went out with more faith that we have ever had and really gave it our all, we are experiencing many blessings in the area, the Lords hand is definitely here, many new investigators and part member families are coming out of the woodwork, there are people attending church, there are a whole lot of baptisms scheduled for the next few weeks, and the changes we see both in people and in the area fill my heart with joy.
This work is true, I love it and I love you
