A Multitude of Lessons

Another week and a Multitude of lessons,

Where do I even begin. This week was jam packed of spiritual highs and spiritual lows. Let's start with the lows so we can end on the highs. This low is a really tough one and it breaks my heart. We got dropped by our most progressing investigator Adriana. We asked her if she was coming to church and she said "Truthfully, I think I am going to go back to attending the church I was going to before." this was over text. We then texted back. "Why? What changed? Do you remember everything you felt?" She never responded... My companion and I are honestly amazed. She was so solid, so choice, she felt in every way the spirit testify to her of the truthfulness of the restored gospel and then she denied it. Times like these as a missionary there is nothing you can do but fast and pray and that is what I have done a lot this week. We are struggling to find new investigators and people to teach. 

That was very hard to hear from Adriana. I had grown to think of her as one of my family members and I just want her to find the most happiness possible. I know the only way is through this gospel.

However hard that experience was I know that my companion and I did everything we could. We fulfilled our purpose as missionaries. 

Anyway, though we had that happen this week, we also had some amazing miracles happen. Notably, one afternoon we were walking down the street after seeing one of investigators and we saw a man out pruning his trees. We went up and started talking to him. Long story short he wanted us to come in and bless his house. His family has been struggling to get along, life is hard, and he just wants things to get better and to be closer with his family. I was able to offer that blessing, in which I felt the spirit confirm the blessing upon the house and the blessing the man was amazed. Then my companion shared John 14: 26-27 and the man became even more amazed. That man had just barely the day before read that scripture on a bill board. The spirit filled our hearts and testified that our message can help his family come closer together. We are planning to go see him again soon. 

We had a few other very spiritual experiences and miracles this week. But that is all have time to share today.

I love each and every one of you and I pray and plead with heaven father that you will all stay faithful to your testimonies. Live in a way that can bring joy to the lives of others. Bring the light to the world!! It is worth it, I promise! Its hard because we live in a crazy world but you can control your actions and choose to serve the One who will bring us home.

Love,

 Elder Fuller
