Hermana Bloxham - I can't believe another week has flown by!

So this week has been a pretty long hard week. We have done a lot of look-ups of potential investigators and less-actives and haven't had much success with that. We went to look up Dejanira a few times this week but we haven't been able to get back in contact with her. :( I hope we get to teach her again soon! At least we planted a really good seed even if we don't get to teach her again!

Yesterday we finally got back in contact with a less-active and we got to teach her an amazing lesson. We showed her the video of the Restoration and watched it with her two little sons. One of them was sitting in his high chair playing with his food and kind of watching the video, but then once the vision of Christ and Heavenly Father came up he was completely still and watching the movie. He looked at us and said, "wow" a few times and it was a really cool experience for us to see a little child be able to feel the spirit so strongly. After that video the spirit was so strong and we were able to teach an amazing lesson.

We also got to teach a referral from one of our members, named Maria, of course haha. It was probably the best first lesson I've ever had. We started with the "How To Begin Teaching" points from Preach My Gospel in Chapter 10 and they kind of just state our purpose for being there and how our message can bless their lives. They are really amazing! And she felt really comfortable asking us questions and we were able to teach her how we pray and how she can receive answers and invited her to read the Book of Mormon. It was such a great lesson! She's really busy so we'll see how it goes this week with her haha

I am so happy that we have the knowledge of this gospel in our lives and that we are out here serving the Lord's chosen people and teaching them the way to have "peace in this world and eternal life in the world to come".(D&C 59:23)

I love you all so much and thank you for your support every day!!

Love, Hermana Bloxham :)
