This last week was a lot better for my companion and I!!! We
worked a lot harder and smarter. We used the members to help us out with our
investigators and with finding other new investigators. Team work is always so
much better than trying the one on one game. So we had 4 investigators go to
church with us this last week. 2 married couples. The only thing is the both of
them I didn't really get to know that well haha. During 2 days last week I was
in divisions in another area so I didn't get to meet them and get to know them.
I'll let you know more information on them next week. The 2 divisions I did
were pretty fun. One was to help a companionship get along better and the other
was just to help the missionaries work harder and go with multiple investigators
at the same time.
The one with the companionship that doesn't get along is a
tough case......They both have a character that is so similar that they don't
get along. But I could talk with them and share some scriptures with them. One
of them I thought was pretty dang good and funny. Its 2Nefi 2:21 or something
like that. I don't think that's right, but it pretty much said be men and be
united. SO I told them to man up, get rid of the problems and move on. We are
gonna be checking and seeing how it goes this week with the goals I put with
them.
The other divisions was with Elder Canton. He is Mexican
from Cuatla Morelos. He has 6 months in the mission and likes to work hard and
teaches well. We taught the Restoration together. It was such an AWESOME
lesson. The spirit filled the room where we were teaching and the sister
accepted everything! I love the clearness and simpleness of the gospel.
When we teach it like that the spirit is allowed to be in our lesson and testify
of the truth of what we teach. I know the gospel has been restored. Every time I
teach it, I only feel that it is more and more true. I invite all to check for
themselves. Meet the missionaries and ask them to explain this message whether
you be member of the church or not. It will help you to understand more about
the church and the importance of the church today. And most importantly it will
strengthen your testimony of Jesus Christ and his teachings. Then, if you desire
to even strengthen yourself more, read the book of Mormon and ask God if it is true.
He will answer you as he has answered me in my life.
Love always,
Elder Hakes
