Week 13

 This one is called Give Your Heart to the Lord.

This week has probably been one of the most spiritual weeks I have had here. We got asked by our Branch President last thursday to visit our near 300 less active members in our branch and share a message with them and invite them back to church. At the first thought,I just thought I was destined to not have any baptisms on this mission and I am going to go home looking like a loser after 2 years. But I decided to pray about it and ask Heavenly Father why I have to work so much with members and not investigators. So in my morning study on Friday, I decided to read a talk titled the 4th missionary! It blew me away! It talks about YOU are the decider of YOUR mission. If you want to find success, GIVE YOUR HEART TO THE LORD! I decided I was going to go throught this week sharing my testimony and ask inspired questions to all of our less active members. The first few was awkward because my spanish is no where near Dominican but I didnt stop! As I kept asking questions and sharing my testimony, people could feel the spirit and thanked me for my testimony! This last sunday, we had 4 less active member families visit church, all which I shared my testimony with! It is so amazing this work that I am doing here! I am so greatful to be here and doing the Lords work! It is so amazing to have the oppertunity to be here and love these people with all my heart! I hope to continue to see the same change this week as we visit the other 200 less active members. I love you all and hope all is well!
