THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING!!!!!
It started off awesome. We set a Baptismal goal with our friend Josh!! He is awesome, I remember in the lesson we were talking about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how it can lift us through struggles of life. He shared with us some things about his life and my companion and I also shared about our life's. We could see that he felt the spirit and was holding back tears. We committed him also to rely more on Jesus Christ in his life. We also warned him that sometimes when we strive to grow closer to Jesus Christ there is also opposition. However, that is no reason to fear because if we rely on Christ, he can literally lift us if needs be. Through Jesus Christ we can do all things.
We also had Zone Conference this week!! We had a general authority come and talk to us!! His name is Elder Echo Hawk and it was honestly one of the most spiritual meetings I have ever been apart of. My companion and I were also called upon to do a Role play in front of all the missionaries. Which is when one set of companions pretends to be investigators and my companion and I were the missionaries. The goal of the role play was to introduce a message about light the world. Which is the churches campaign to bring the spirit of Christmas. It was way out of my confort zone hahaha but it was fun and it turned out good. At the end of the meeting Elder Echo Hawk opened up the meeting to testimonies and I went up and bore my testimony about how we can become more than we could ever imagine. We can even become as God.
And yesterday, was the most special thing of all. We had 5 friends come to church and we also set 4 baptismal dates. We set a baptismal date with Adriana and 3 kids. Wow, that was such a spiritual lesson! So what happened was we taught her the Restoration again and then we shared with her the end of the introduction of the Book of Mormon, which is when it says that if one is to read, ponder, and pray about the Book of Mormon they can know for themselves it is true. We then testified of the things we have taught are true. It was already powerful, but this is the most powerful part of all. After we were done testifying, she looked at us with tears in her eyes and said "I already know it's true" she also told us that she has been praying and thinking about baptism for a while, especially at sacrament meeting. Then she told us "I think this is something I should do." The cool thing also is that her son was able to participate in the primary program. It was a sweet experience for her to watch her son participate. So please pray that every thing will work out for Adriana and her family. We pray she will be prepared on December 2nd to enter into the gate of Baptism.
I love all of you so much and I thank you for all your prayers. I am trying to become a better person and missionary every day, not for me, but for God and for all of you. Stay close to the spirit this week and the spirit will stay close to you.
Love Elder Fuller
