Hey everyone!
So
this week was pretty eventful. First thing, we had a world wide mission
conference this week and they announced some changes in missionary
work. Most of them wouldn't seem like a big deal for you guys but it was
pretty big for us. Among all the changes, some small changes happened
to the key indicators we now report to our leaders but the biggest
change was to our schedule. Now we don't plan at night, we plan in the
morning, which is super weird and new, but I think I like it. And we
have the option to choose how long we do companionship study and now
there's more time on pday and just a lot of things but mostly what's
most important to know is that this is all so inspired. It was designed
to allow us as missionaries to use our agency and choose to use our time
wisely. They said they did this to help us so that when we get home we
will use our time wisely and keep up the habits we gained on our
missions.....so that's a good thing. Anyway the conference was super
good and we also had a multi-zone conference which was so inspired and
amazing as well, much revelation was received there.
But
something even bigger happened this week. So I always would hear about
when the mission president would go out on visits with some missionaries
and I always thought wow, that must be nerve racking....and then on
friday night we get a call from the stake president and he's like hey
hermanas Elder Nelson Ardila (an Area 70) will be here tomorrow (because
we had stake conference this weekend and he presided) and we were
wondering if you guys had any investigators you would like to go visit
with him.............uhhhhh....... yeah! So basically we went on visits
with an Area 70, the stake presidente and his wife, one of his
counselors and his wife, and the branch president...oh and us...can you
talk about a small but incredible powerful little army made up of the
Lord's chosen servants! Wow it was such a neat experience. He taught me
so much about teaching people not lessons and using the things people
know to teach them the gospel and asking inspired questions. Wow. He
brings the spirit so strong and the people can tell he is a servant of
the Lord. We were just walking down the street and the people were
staring at him and it's because they can see the light of Christ that
radiates from him and I think, in a small way, that happens with us too.
They can see our light of Christ and that's why they stare at us and
are drawn to us. As members of the chruch in general too, they can see
somehting different about us and it's the light of Christ-Let your light
so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your
father which is in Heaven. Well, needless to say, when you teach with an
area 70 you start the lesson but then they take the lead and you just
follow.,they are so intune with the spirit and you can just tell in
their voice they are chosen serants of God. Wow such a neat experience. I
will never forget it. Anyway, have a really really great week and
remember to always share the gospel!
Love,
Hermana Roylance
