Wow what a fantastic week it has been! There have been quite a few awesome things that have happened! Let me tell you!
I have a testimony of the principle that, "when one door closes, another door opens". Sadly, this week, we lost Cole, one of our investigators, and to make it even worse, one of the recent converts that was baptized in February said that he didn't need religion in his life... o.O
BUT! I say that this week was fantastic because we were blessed with a new investigator named Laura! She was found by the other missionaries that we share the ward with, but lives on our side. She has been meeting with them for about 4-5 weeks now, and loves it. The YSA's broadcasted general conference from the Institute building, and we went there and saw it. Laura came and saw the last bit of the Saturday morning session and watched the whole Saturday afternoon session, and she loved it! She even brought a friend along that we have also been keeping in contact with.
Laura is super friendly and has made a lot of friends with members from our ward. (Pretty much all of the guys in the ward have been hitting on her...NOT US!) She really enjoyed conference, and we are going to be having a lesson with her on Tuesday. It should be great! I'll let you know how that goes.
General conference! I REALLY enjoyed it. I was really surprised when somebody opposed the sustaining vote, but other than that, I thought it was pure revelation from God. Specifically Elder M. Russell Ballard's talk. Holy cow! I can't wait to study those talks more thoroughly. It was amazing the difference I felt as I went into conference with a specific question in mind versus when I have just gone to "enjoy the show". I really feel like I have been better able to understand and discern the feelings of the Spirit on my mission. Granted, I'm not a master yet, but being able to feel promptings and knowing that it's from the Holy Ghost has made quite the difference. For all of us that watched conference, there really not a better thing we could have done at that time. It's great to hear and understand the words of modern-day prophets.
Today, our zone is going to be playing life-sized Hungry Hungry Hippos. I'll send pictures!
I love you all! I hope your week is great!
Elder Harper
