This week was....great!! Well, not for my companion. This week started
out a bit rough. She was super sick for the first couple of days. So we
really didn't have the opportunity to work. My poor companions body is
just falling apart. Just kidding...she is doing a lot better now! Those
American drugs work wonders, ya hear?
But our first normal day, we had this plan to go and visit every single
investigator. We planned sooooooo good for that day, everything
detailed, and ready. Because we had missed so much, that we wanted to
work and visit a lot. So lunch finishes, and we got dropped off back at
our apartment. We were picking up things, when our District Leader
calls. The assistants have given a challenge for our zone. Go out and
invite, and then later confirm 25 people for church. My companion hangs
up the phone, and we sat there. We aren't teaching 25 people, we have no
new investigators this week due to lack of work.....what?!?!! All 4
sisters sat there, like...how are we going to do this. When finally it
hit us. Every sister take 15 pamphlets and lets just station ourselves in an area
and talk with everyone. So we start writing number and addresses on the
back of the pamphlets and getting ready to do this. As we are doing
this..it just starts pouring, thunder, lightening. It was horrible. And
my companion says, to be funny, "Its like we need to fast or
something!!!" As soon as she said that, the rain stops. We all just
looked at each other, stood up, went to our separate corners/rooms and
started fasting. We walk out and its completely sunshine!!! Haha, so we
finished with the pamphlets. But we still haven't decided where we
should this? Where is it gonna be busy? We prayed, and at the end, we
all said somewhere completely different. We prayed again, and after my
companion and I said Metro...but the others thought no. So we prayed
again. This time, Sister Melo asked not where should we go...but if the
Metro was where we needed to be. And right after she asked that in the
prayer, it was just silent....and it was made clear that Metro was where
we needed to be. We finished that prayer and just stared at each
other...like "Did you all feel that?????" The spirit was incredibly
moving then.
We headed for the metro, with the goal that we cant leave until each and
every pamphlet is out of our Hands. Which meant for me, that I was
going to have to talk to people ALONE. Without S. Tanaka helping!! Haha,
I mean what? I kind of freaked out....but as I started talking, and the
people responded, and I understood...I calmed down. I realized that the
Lord's hand is in everything. He is going to guide me, because I am
helping his Children take one step closer to him. And that is exactly
what happened. With every person I talked to, whether they were open and
receptive or not, I felt growth, I felt his love...I felt comforted.
And I knew that it was because the Lord was there. I may have physically
been alone, without my companion, but I had a companion on my side.
Standing next to me, it was my Savior. I know it. I felt it.
