So this week nothing big has really happened! We have been doing a lot of finding and trying to teach a lot of people. Right now we are working on trying to get the youth involved in missionary work so that has been going pretty good!
In general conference Elder Ronald A. Rasband gave a great talk on listening to the spirit.
He stated:
we must act on the first prompting.
Remember the words of Nephi. “I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless,” he said, “I went forth.”
And so must we. We must be confident in our first promptings. Sometimes we rationalize; we wonder if we are feeling a spiritual impression or if it is just our own thoughts. When we begin to second-guess, even third-guess, our feelings—and we all have—we are dismissing the Spirit; we are questioning divine counsel. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that if you will listen to the first promptings, you will get it right nine times out of ten.
In listening to his council this week on acting on that First Prompting the Holy Ghost has lead Elder Christensen and I to so many people whom I believe the Lord wants us to teach and it has been amazing to be apart of that.
Other than that this week has been good, except none of our investigators came to church which is a bummer but its all good. I am excited for this next week because it is transfer calls. Yet I am also sad because I love my First area here in Perdido. So I am going to be really sad if I get transferred but I am also going to be excited for a new area. We shall see this upcoming Saturday and Sunday what happens.
I cant tell you how much food we eat! Oh my gosh I am so thankful for a gym right next to us because if I didn't have that gym this 20 to 25 pounds I have gained would have been all fat. I LOVE FOOD SO MUCH!! The southern food is the way to go! But overall my mommas cookin is the best! Love you mom! This Lady in my ward Sister Harrison, she feeds like 4 missionaries every sunday! She is so awesome! But she has some good southern food! She made Gator one night and Elder Christensen and I missed it because we had some where else to be!! It was a sad day! She also makes this one meal called the CHOLESTEROL BOMB hahha Gotta love the southern food!
Well I am sorry there isn't much this week! But next week will be interesting! I love all of you and miss everyone back home!
Love, Elder Graham!
